P99 is the nostalgic home that one always returns to. It's an almost "perfect" snapshot of an old memory that I love remembering. Of course I will continue to come back to P99.
The one big gripes I have with P99 is just how saturated the end game is. You look to your left... and spot a level 5 rogue twink rocking their epic. I even managed to very heavily twink out my Cleric with her own money... just by doing a little hill giant farming. New players have gear raining down on them. I'm guilty of twinking out some of the new players myself. I would freaking kill for a wipe or new server.
Of course there are things about Ragefire that will seriously bug me. Just to name a few:
* Revamped zones
* The market place
* No bot/box restrictions
* Bandoleer
* Melody (learn to fucking bard!)
* Some of the weird "new" UI elements that are anything but intuitive.
Having said that... Ragefire is a fresh start and a chance to experience the expansions again. I miss Luclin and PoP. I enjoyed raiding in GoD. Hell, I even quite enjoyed Omens. Will Ragefire be the Everquest I remember? No sadly. Ragefire an awkward bastard of old memories and... whatever the fuck EQ Live has turned into. Once one accepts this, I do think there is some fun to be had.

The biggest problem with Ragefire will be the monks and mages...why would anyone play any other melee toon when monks will have uber damage fists? Mage pets will just wreak havoc on the new server. Then of course the fast xp gain will trivialize the game.
