Is P99 the same game as Everquest?

[Allishia]

The big difference between live and p99 is on live you will be playing by yourself with mercs 99% of the time because most ppl just box their own groups (progression servers are ok for a lil bit but eventually turn into just boxing groups too after the 1st few xpacs are out).

On p99 there is no boxing / mercs, so you actually get to make friends and be apart of a community/guild where people help each other cause very few classes can do much on their own.

Also on live I found myself mostly just staring at the map watching the arrow move around the map...not even really paying attention to what the zone looks like.

On p99 you have to run around looking through character eyes / using location and sense heading to find the way. Lot more fun and you get to really know the zones that you travel through =)
