LMAO, you thought I would have been an old guy. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I played on P1999 with a Druid until level 19. Yes, as we have stated on my show that that the Fippy server is the best version of everquest. Every thing that P1999 had on it sucked the joy out the game that Sony got smack and listened to the player base and tweaked. However, this version of EQ is nothing like WOW and very close minded of you to say that. More people agree that Fippy is the better version of EQ, and has x10 the population and people like me as willing to pay for it!

I disagree with you completely.

As stated already, Fippy/EQlive incorporated many mechanics and features that took away from the original feel of Everquest (Can you say Marketplace)

I'm not sure how you can even say Project 1999 sucked the joy of out of the game, as it's the original version of the game that people loved so much (Probably why P99 is top of the emu charts).
You say more people agree that Fippy is a better version, but after reading the forums @ www.fippydarkpaw.com, I would disagree. The main complaint, was that the progression server doesn't have the classic feel LOTS of people came back for. (Yes I understand progression doesn't mean classic)

10x the population ? Ok..?

I also agree that the current version of EQlive has many mechanics/features included over the years that are similar to World of Warcraft, so I can see the comparison. (Why wouldn't you add features that are working for your competitor)

I'd suggest if your looking to get more listeners, you should be less biased and take more of a neutral position.


EDIT: PS Bob is right.
