That 36 week thing is insane honestly. They need to let people get past fucking PoP sooner already. Let people get the nostalgia hit for a short while, and then let them get on through the expansions in a rate where the playerbase isn't burned out and moved on before we get to the later expansions.
The whole design of these TLPs to make them die after PoP in order to feed the next TLP is one of their worst decisions (that they keep making over and over).
Maybe.. just maybe if they allowed a popular TLP to get caught up to Live in a reasonable amount of time with a solid population, they could create a whole new group of LIVE gamers that actually purchase the new expansions every year rather than just repeating the TLP cycle. You would think that selling expansions would be a number one goal of a MMORPG developer. I guess bag sells on TLP servers makes more money.
Didn't one of their earnings calls in the last few years show that Live vs TLP income was more or less a 50/50 split? Why risk 50% of your incoming cashflow on speeding up the release cycle to the point you risk losing what is more or less free money for them at this point?

So you were a rogue in at least Planes of Power with (imo) underwhelming gear, struggling on kunark Myconids. I mean, at least we know how you did it as a solo Rogue now.
Think the confusion for most of us was that when we think of the Fungi Tunic at its most valuable- which $400 USD is pretty valuable in 2000 in my mind - he had to be soloing King in Kunark era. Which would be mathematically impossible with the gear available in Kunark and no AA’s.
Classic Hp Regen was capped at 30? Or 35? And it was still a solid item in POP for shamans etc. iirc. But whoever was buying them for $400 during POP is an absolute moron and that is now - the point of contention in your claim.
Or to take it one step further, a class, like a Shaman, could be power leveled by an AOE group In any number of locations during POP. The amount they would pay to be power leveled to a point that they could solo fungi camp by themselves, at the time, would cost substantially less than $400.
Server rarity is a thing, sure. But in POP era - there were multiple websites out for auctions. To think there wouldnt be at least a handful of guys out there that would instantly invade that server and farm tf out of old world content that sells for $400 is an outlandish dream at best.
If you did what you say you did, then congrats. But Im sensing some real rose colored glasses here.
