Haha, likewise!

No, the Play Nice Policy didn't happen until a year after launch. There absolutely WAS an extended period of time where people could do whatever they wanted, unless it was considered an exploit or extreme harassment. Social constructs often dictated that people would respect established "camps", but it was completely allowed to "Kill Steal" as much as you wanted, or to create trains. This is a game where Rogues were allowed to steal from other players. All of these various things made the game much more interesting.
I can’t recall the exact date it was put in but it was definitely before a year because the initial version (or at least a version of customer service guidelines to ensure consistent rulings by all GMs on player issues - so essentially a PnP) was in place by the time the first Plane opened. So that’s less than a year from launch.

I want to say it was like 7 or maybe 8 months max post launch? Before that it depended on the GMs of your server. Everyone was making different rulings on different things depending on the server and it was a disaster so CSR was quickly asked to get together and come up with guidelines and follow them across all servers.

The problem I think with the green launch is that they did too many experimental changes that made it no longer feel like eq while leaving in too many balance issues. Green server kinda showed me what eq would be like if played by a modern crowd - everything gets solod, everyone fights over the best zones, people ignore half the areas in the game. Everyone was a solo class. I was still fun, but I think it left me disillusioned and sort of erased everything that I had experienced on blue the years prior.
It's almost as if this is a 22 year old game that most people playing know in the back of their hands on practically every minor detail. Also, not all content is equal. We know going to Splitpaw isn't worth it as much as camping out Guk, Mistmoore, SolA, Unrest ect.
If you really want to play it like it was 1999, get a crowd of people, and bludgeon your heads so hard you get amnesia so you can enjoy the game like its brand new and you don't know what to expect. Nostalgia can only take you so far.

Memory is a bit hazy. I want to say she was some kind of anthropology student on a research trip to Africa possibly? This is her, and there are some other pictures of her topless with tribal folk that went viral. She was of course doxxed and it was found she apparently did weird torture porn, and my avatar is from one of those videos. I think. Could be completely wrong about all of that. Have fun going down this rabbit hole.
Classic internet.

I don't think this is accurate, or it depended on the CSR that you talked to.

On live I shared my login with guild officers to use my druid for mobilization when I wasn't online. One officer gave the login to another person who stripped my account, deathlooped my druid from 60 to like 42 and changed the PW. I called in to recover, said someone I shared info with changed the PW on me and they reset my PW and restored everything. Took like 5 days for a senior GM to get to me though.

Edit: this occurred in Luclin era
They changed policy eventually, because it was impossible to police as widely as it happened. But it was unequivocally against the rules to account share in 1999/2000. I distinctly remember keeping it hush hush. Maybe 1 GM had a different rule than another, but it WAS against the EULA.

I will say, the random loot that Mischief has done, has done a great job at making a few aspects of the game feel more like classic. I kinda wish it was p99 that had done it, and not TLP with shitty modern graphics and DBG.
