I like the nostalgia trip. My EQ nostalgia is very different. The wife and I had brand-new, high-end computers (pentium III's!). We had an equally brand-new cable ISP that had only come available in our town in spring '99. We had a laptop that we could look up map sites/forums/etc on while we were playing so the lack of alt-tab didn't matter. We didn't have to deal with slow dialup downloads, with staring at the wall because of framerate issues, or (since we were adults) with parents yelling over our shoulder.
But in truth after a decade of P99 versus only a few years (aggregate) of the original game, I have far more nostalgia for P99 than I do for the original. This IS EQ for me insofar as I care anymore.
