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.
