  • Player run events
  • Giveaways

...and more of an emphasis on:-
  • Raid lawyering
  • Detailed debate about the "rules" of a particular spawn
  • Powerleveling
  • Injustices against a player
  • MQ'ing and the consequences on people trying to do rings/epics/etc

So I ask you, is the fun slipping away from P99? Is there a bigger decision to be made if a new(er) player wants to enter the raid scene shit show? What can be done to make P99 more enjoyable again? Is it beyond the staff's powers when dozens of players all want to shit on each other without "breaking" a rule?
I'm afraid you may be right OP. My experience up to level 50 has been very positive. But things are changing at this higher level, maybe I am partly to blame. I want to play with people that want to group up and just have fun, but it's getting hard to find those types.

The way I see it is all of the hardcore people that played on all of the many servers back in classic are now concentrated here on 1 server (p99). For a time, these hardcore players were satisfied with the game, but now that they have burned themselves out with 90 hour weeks, the bitterness and emptiness is starting to set in.

One thing is for damn sure, this server is no where near the same as it was 2 years ago when I joined.
