What happened?

when you make things too easy people get bored quickly. choosing rapid content release over rigorous development accuracy has a lot to do with it.

You mean, if there are 3000 people attempting to kill 6 raid targets for 5 years....it takes that long to equip them? Because I'll put our accuracy against any other server.

any chance you could merge all the p2002 threads into the garbage where they belong?

Like disabling an out of era mob to gain easier access to more out of era mobs?

more new players on the server, and more single boxers. /cheers

The most striking difference of the P2002 pop compared to P99 pop is the maturity and friendliness. Casual rather than competitive min-maxers you will find here. I imagine P99 was like this when it first started.

Min-maxing is orthogonal to maturity. It's possible to be adult about sharing in a video game while still being all about maximizing your toon(s). And it's a different environment when you don't have 2000 people competing for the same targets. One thing I'm sure of is that come Velious, there won't be a 90 person line for the holgresh camp or 40 people all poopsocking Scout Charisa, Lodizal, and Stormfeather. P99 is a great case study of widespread mental illness.

Almost like Cabin Fever.

Yes, P99 is a victim of its own success. With 7-800 prime time players and Luclin models I might still have played here, but I will never be able to invest enough time to be able to enjoy some of the best content because of the overwhelming competition. And because of this there is a steady stream of people migrating from P99 to P2002.
