My question serves one purpose. Every progression server that has gone up against P99 has lost. Unique ideas flourish. If you want to compete with someone on a particular front (say trilogy progression) you need to have a reason for a user to choose you over them. They have a dedicated team of developers and massive support from the community, people who don't even know this site (eqemu) know p99 exists. What's your vantage point?

And while I appreciate the Shakespeare reference, I don't need to commit any significant amount of time to watch a play (nor does it take any user-interaction). To be competitive in an online game requires a much higher degree of commitment.

As I mentioned above: Getting dedicated players is hard if you compete with a more popular server. I ran the server that p99 dethroned, so I definitely understand first hand. When you do your round table really pay attention to what issues people have with p99 or other progression servers. Try to do something better, that way you have a selling point.
