That was in early 2009 when I stopped. I found P99 early 2013. EQ was an amazing game and still remains my favorite video game of all time.

Some frustrating (it is EQ, after all) but most are very fond. I made several RL connections in my time in the game and some I still talk to today. P99 has done a wonderful job recreating this amazing game and more than that they have recreated the way I feel when I play. Nothing will ever bring it back, but I am glad that the P99 staff did such a damn good job trying.
I still think about my old guild Grey Horizon on the E'ci(Tunare) server.
