P99 helps me manage my depression somewhat with the way there's almost always something to do and good people to talk to so the evil little chemicals in my brain can't start churning to convince me the world would be better off if I had never been born. That makes it worthwhile to me, personally.
With EQ the rules obscure enough that you can pick and choose what you find valuable and no one will try to tell you differently. It's like a big puzzlebox when you first get into it, but one without any directions or clues, and you get to make your own solutions to things rather than doing what the game developers clearly expect you to do. It's like the untamed wilderness compared to the polished interior of an Apple store with its nice layouts and dozens of helpers there to tell you what to do to get something.
I dunno. I like the wilderness and not having to do what people tell me to do all the time.
