During the one server event last year, there were about 250 people in Greater Faydark. I (as a Cleric) battled another Cleric in a 1 on 1 duel and won. I was given, as a reward, the Burnyai Legion Gi that I'm still wearing today. People actually stood in a straight line from the Druid Ring all the way down some of the path to Felwithe to enter a raffle for items. It was probably the coolest thing I've experienced in Live or P99. This server is amazing. I appreciate now what I couldn't fully appreciate as a 17 year old when EQ first released.
Here is the link to the forum thread announcing and discussing that event. I hope we get to see something like this again soon for all the newcomers. This was the defining moment in my Project1999 and Everquest life.
