It was the most fun times because of the population, fighting over single skeleton spawns in the noobie zone yard, talking smack to other races and helping out the true noobs, seeing P99 veterans get torn a new rear by the EC griffin (multiple times lol).

Nothing was overpowered yet, people haggling in /auc for cracked staffs.

No raids, raid talk or raid guilds in action yet.

Best EQ ever.

once people get a max lvl enchanter and sham they can box and a hoard of pixels the game basically stagnates because the no lifers (brainded skinner boxxed) no longer need to cope and can just shit out alts without interacting with anyone

Also the type of people who played EQ was unique compared to the type of people who play MMOs in 2021

In 1999 anyone who could play EQ did play EQ

On WoW I meet mostly incels.. on EQ there were a lot more functional and normal people who played....it wasn’t just introverted nerds

Miniature version of this happened the winter of 2018-2019. For whatever reason P99 was hitting record population highs for a few months before folks drifted away.

P99 could use new players. EQ wasn't meant to be a static-population world. Players coming and going act as a currency-and-item sink and keep the lower level portions of the game populated and active.

Very surprised how many bad at the game newbies populate greens sub 20 game. It's like there's at least 1/3rd greens pop won't admit they never played EQ before. But there they are!

It's been nice and refreshing.
