Well I personally want classic EQ, but the other guys want something they have not seen before. For me classic eq is perfect. The main thing I want though is to be able to play with my friends and keep progressing not feeling like I have to raid to keep going. I know in Velious I could have that satisfaction. There are so many quests that a group player can do or with small pu raids like Halls of testing to get a pretty decent character. I read some things about SoD that gave me the impression that to even do well in the single group arc you needed to have a bit of raid gear and alot of aa. This is all heresay though. Was hoping someone can give me some personal experience of what it is like to play there as at this point I am not convinced investing my time in it is worth it in terms of what I want out of it.
I played on SoD for about 8 months with <Goon Squad> 5 years ago. The content there is pretty well done and goes above and beyond in terms of scripting and encounters but you will be playing a long game of catch up unless things have changed. It was definitely a server that required time and character building but felt very rewarding.

The big difference between getting to end game on SoD and getting to end game on P99 is going to be time. Your group can spend a few months on P99 to hit 60 and start looking for guilds where as on SoD you are looking at probably twice that much time or more unless they have really made it more accessible for new players.

Playing euro time is not necessarily a handicap here due to raid bosses having a variance where as playing on euro time on SoD will really limit the raid guilds you will be able to join and if you want to see relevant end game content you will need a guild even tho you can box.
