It's true that there're differences; many to be seen and felt. But it's still amazing when you think about it that emulators for this game even exist. Someone did a lot of coding. When I compare p1999 to some of the other eqemulator servers I am humbled by the dedication and attempt at professionalism. It's by no means complete and no does it please everyone, neither will it ever be enough, but it's admirable.

In my view, there're better games, but this one holds a special place in my heart. That's its draw. I can look past its flaws when i play it now and then. It's like walking on a indian burial ground. There's many things we can blame on the indians, but it's altogether different when you contemplate the immensity of mortal life.

I don't play it very often. Perhaps that's how I can be so neutral emotionally.

Agreed. There are MANY games out there that are better graphically and easier to play, but EQ is and will always be my favorite game. Given the choice of playing one game for the rest of my life, EQ would be it.

The biggest one (for me) is no pvp. Also, there seem to be a LOT more halflings here, I guess because everyone knows about their exp bonus. This was a shame to me really, being a halfling used to MEAN something and now all these fefs are doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Classic was not as good as p1999 for me for one simple reason: The UI.

Today at 2560x1440 with a custom ui (dexa i think) eq is so immerseful it makes up for the fact the content is old which I would otherwise just see as a trip in the delorean.
