Everquest on Live is... a totally different game. You pretty much solo doing quests (tasks) following the Hero's Journey achievement (because the gear is good). You will be able to buy a level 85 character soon. Paying for a subscription gives your character up to 4k of AAs (depending on your level). It's basically a modern "F2P" game with dated user interface and dated graphics.

Are these things bad? Really depends on your perspective to be honest. There are certain changes that I do like. Certain abilities/spells that classes have gained over the years that I really like. I absolutely refuse to use a Merc however and generally pretend that certain features just don't exist. (Like the entire Marketplace...).

There *is* a lot of fun to be had on Live. There is tons of content, though you may need to bring your own friends in order to experience anything that isn't the end game in a way that's even remotely like you might remember.

I am pretty new to P1999 myself, but I have to say... it's pretty amazing. There has been a recent influx of new players... so there are a pretty decent number of folks in the sub lvl 20 range right now.

P99 seems to exist in an odd space. Half the players seem to want the expansion progression to stop at Velious (Which should hit in the near future). The rest want content up to Luclin or PoP. What we have at the moment however is Kunark.

I have been playing a bit of both Live and P99 and I must say... P99 just feels "Everquest". P99 may not have the exact set of features or expansions that I personally want, but honestly it doesn't really matter. P99 embodies the spirit of "Everquest" while Live is... well... I don't honestly know.
