Looking to spark the nostalgia... Is it possible?

[Fenrisulfr]

I'm really wanting to play EQ again to help spark ideas with my novel and I'm really hoping this project can help. I made a character in 2009 and played briefly on the server, but I had no friends in game to keep me playing. So, I come to you all asking truthfully, do you think there are a decent amount of people that play actively that can help me do this? Or are the zones dead and the beginners are doomed to solo??

I will play EQ2 if necessary, but this project shows promise and I'm hoping it can help me write my book. Also, it would be great to make new friends [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
