Literally just started on p99 two days ago, after messing around a bit with the hellscape of normal live Everquest.

Modern Everquest, and every other modern MMO in existence:

**screen covered in windows with flashing icons**
--Welcome to Game! Please close all these windows explaining how to Move Forward.
--You received a quest to Move Forward!
--You take three steps and open your mouth to speak to the first person you see.
--CONGRATULATIONS YOU REACHED LEVEL 2! Here's some more windows, and an enchanted upgrade to an item you've not yet used.



Starting in p99:
--Take this note to your guildmaster!
--The map is disabled in Project 1999.
--Guildmaster: Go kill some snakes.
--a moss snake looks at you indifferently; looks like an even fight
--You were slain by a moss snake!
--You were slain by a skeleton!
--You were slain by a shadow wolf!
--You were slain by a random racist Erudite in the Freeport slums!
--You were slain by a drowned citizen on your way back to the Freeport slums!
--Guildmaster: Here is your reward.
--Me: This has two armor and smells like dead rats. So what's next in the progression of guild quests to improve my equipment?
--Guildmaster: Your...ah....ahahah.....AAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH...... ........get out of my office.

Yeah that's pretty much my biggest issue with new EQ. It's over-produced, and not for the better.

The updates to the zones did nothing but defile the orginal artwork and charm of the game.
