Somewhat similar situation here...my older bro turned me onto EQ sometime back around 2000, and the only time I got to play was when he wasn't on, which was RARE. I'd pretty much wait for him to go to sleep just so I could log onto EQ. Now I have my own comp, and he plays WoW.....really makes me realize how much can change in 10 years...
That being said getting to experience EQ as it was in the beginning is something I never got to do, as I didnt start till around 2000/2001, and I much anticipate re-experiencing making an Iksar when Kunark opens (Iksar Monk was my very first official 'main')
I'm sure 500 other people will be rolling an Iksar Monk, and FoB and Cabalis will be lagging out due to the number of Iksar players, but still, I anticipate it

Timing on experiencing this project coulden't have been more fitting either...just a few months before I found out about this I bought a Sega Master System and Sega Genesis off Ebay, along with all the games I remembered playing when I was anywhere from 5-12 years old, and got to relive the memories I had playing those. Now I can say that I've done that with EQ. And, just as I used to do as a 6 year old video game nerd, i've already broken one of the sega ms controllers by throwing it in a fit of nerd rage. In a similar situation, I'll admit to being one of those players who goes off in a fit or nerd rage over various bugs/glitches in the game. Getting back into old school EQ so much just hasn't left enough space to appreciate any effort that goes into keeping the server going....
Well, not very often I get into 'appreciative' moods like this, guess I had to take advantage of it while it lasted. Once this server gets up and running again, I'm sure I, like many others, will find something in classic EQ to complain about.
