We on P99 enjoy how punishing and challenging and the forced community of EQ. We like earning our rewards and levels, sometimes through arduous questing and/or camping. But ... most people don't. If you launched the original EQ today, it would fail, there wouldn't even have been Kunark because it would have been shut down before any expansions were launched. You cannot make money on classic EQ. This project is thriving but it has ONE blue server. There aren't enough people for even two blue servers ... that equals a failed business model in the real world.

He makes some damned good points. Wow is a LOT more popular than EQ live and here by far.
I think Brad's EQ Next may be popular also. People now want a lot more flash in the game, and the graphics engines are capable of doing it along with newer graphic cards.
And I don't think most people anymore have the time it takes here to get to 60 playing a couple hours 2, 3 times a week. It is just to hard to do that. And hard to group for only a few hours also.
I know there is like 1,700 people on here as of late, but that is a very little amount of people from the whole damn world that are playing. This is not some roaring success.

We are a few, and damned few people, that still enjoy a game in a sense that can never be duplicated again. It is hard mode and very time consuming. And that is what makes us come back to it, and obliviously old memories.
