If you don't get the nostalgia rush from remembering playing EQ back in 99/00 I HIGHLY doubt the game will be able to keep your attention. Compared to modern games, it's a fucking nightmare controls/UI wise - like bordering on unplayable.
I love people coming to p99 but unless you actually played EQ back in the day I can not recommend trying to get into now, there just isn't any way I think you would have fun with it. EQ is a relic and p99 is a museum

Also if you must play, there are ways to find a copy of Titanium w/o buying it

EQ is a very different kind of MMO compared to modern games. When it was launched, It was at the dawn between MUD, P&P like D&D and first era of 3D games. It very much retains a lot of 80s classic RPG genre that doesnt get much attention anymore.
If you like CRPGs that are redone and flavoured like the games of old (Baldurs Gate, D&D, etc.) and you like old school mechanics and unforgiving gameplay, EQ still has an edge over modern game design. Games in the 90s were designed as a challenge, not entertainment. But it isn't only about EQ in general. P1999 has a very special community, very mature in general and very beginner-friendly. Most people played EQ as teenagers and now have kids and all things you got in your 30s. It's a different kind of company than your usual F2P audience. I don't say there's no drama, but there are almost certainly less hormones involved [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] EQ is a niche nowadays as most old RPGs are. If you fit into that niche, EQ is gold.

It's like Runescape. It's on version 3 I think? Yet some people play Old School Runescape which is Runescape 2007. Is it better? No it sucks. I have no nostalgia for the game having never played it so I tried them both and the new one was way better. Was OG more hardcore? Maybe, I couldn't tell through all the UI and graphic suck. I'm not saying don't play, I'm just saying it's not magical. The UI and graphics and some old gameplay tropes are going to be real wearying if you don't have a secondary source of appeal. | |||

Put it this way.....in a modern MMO, you can log on for a couple of hours and make progress of some description.
In EQ, you can log on for that same time period and go backwards. One of those options is more easily defined as fun and worthwhile, and one is not. Except by those of us on P99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

It’s a grindy game. Without nostalgia, you’ll likely burn out and quit before level 30.
