Probably true, but all the "non-classic?" stuff about it, that would never be right, would be really offputting to someone who played through pop.

I haven't played live since 2001, but why would this server be considered non-classic if it is only expanding up to PoP era? I was considering this server because I was curious to see what happened after Velious as I quit live right when Velious came out. I'm really enjoying Velious but I think at some point I am going to want new content and this might be the way to go, especially if they are limiting boxing.

In later expansions SoE changed a lot about the game which effects older content. And they don't reverse those changes for progression servers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, the most they do is apply a huge buff to raid mobs so that they aren't super easy. Does this buff apply to anything else, or just bosses?

It's still an intriguing prospect for players to see at least see PoP again. People love progression servers, for whatever reason, and this one will stop at exactly the right time. Aside from Velious, when the quality of the game was probably the best. I think EQ peaked at PoP. It was the best mix of hardcore raiding with still lots to do if you're casual, and it had convenience features. Luclin and Velious gear and content was still relevant if you weren't in an end game guild, so there was tons to do content wise.

Why wouldn't people who want a pop locked server just play P2002 or TAK? Retail EQ is horrendous.

I think the main draw is a healthy server population. P2002/TAK are great, but they have so few players, your options for who you want to complete content with is very limiting.

Someone is gonna have to get in early and make a guild called <Ninety Niners> Or something for everyone that's gonna be moving over.

Why the fuck would we guild with the psychopaths from this cesspool when we no longer have to.

So filter the sociopaths? They are a minority here you know, for all the shit they've spread so liberally around the place. Nobody's forcing you to guild with the asshat chucklemonkeys who get a kick out of shitting their own beds.

The only redeeming features seems to be the population and this:

"True Box server rules apply (one account per machine)"

To each their own. In the end, we're all still playing a video game that came out in 1999.

It will have issues, I'm sure, but I'm pretty excited about it either way.
