I really loved the content in Luclin and PoP (and the maps, OMG have I mentioned how I miss the MAPS), and while the Bazaar was great for actually finding and selling items, I do recall that that the community became a lot less interactive with these expansions, particularly with the ease of travel.
Maybe it was just my perception, but you just didn't cross paths with as many people if they weren't your level. Perhaps it was because the world became so much bigger. Maybe the Bazaar and Nexus/PoK stones really did replace the convention of talking to other players to function, and became something you only did for grouping.
One thing I love about P1999 is I'm never alone in a zone. I play here because I miss EQ, but the EQ I remember is a wasteland.
