Hadn't played EQ since I was about 12, during vanilla / Kunark, at which time I leveled a druid / warr / necro into 20's, would probably have played more but seeing as my parents were both max level and raided every night, I didn't get much chance, but regardless my EQ knowledge was ever growing as I often observed them play, also my mom forced me to buff the raid while she went and made dinner/coffee, child slavery I say, haha.

I too have played just about every MMO out there and while WoW had it's moments during it's launch and subsequent 1-2 expansions, it eventually lost it's way and became a borefest of trivial numbers and ever decreasing social aspect.

I've been on P99 for about 2 weeks now, my dark elf necro is level 22, albeit I'm struggling a bit with leveling right now, I'm easily bored by afk grinding and end up exploring places I shouldn't be at, or exp'ing in places where fearing results in trains, alas, still having a blast.

The reception I've had on the server is amazing, there's far more people in every zone that I visit compared to how live server was when I played there back in the day, I've got like 10 people on my friends list already, I've been given up to 100 plat from strangers and like 10 pieces of gear with decent + stats on them from random friends I've met / people I've grouped with.

I forgot what the term community meant after playing modern day MMO's for so long.

I have been off and on the server for a couple years now, but I had a very similar start. I played WoW, Eve, DAoC, EQ2, Aion, etc. But there just doesn't seem to be the same community that EQ has. I remember being like a level 25 SK on P99 in 2011, and a guy gave me an MoSS. Was just like "Here, you need this!" Just amazing.

I have in turn done the same. I am pretty sure I have given away 4 different pairs of 5ac/55hp rings to people I have seen playing in EC or Nek forest, and bought a full set of banded for a guy, because a DE warrior should not be seen wearing leather he found off orc corpses.
