Look, this is an emulated server. On live, the difficulty lay in figuring out the tactics, learning the zones, solving the quests and so on to obtain the gear that you would need because the next expansion was 6-12 months away when the whole business would start over again. On P1999, the tactics are known, the zones are known, the quests are known, and the gear (from Velious onwards) will never go obsolete. Chardok and invis pulling have certainly hurt, but the reality is that with much less content much more slowly it was never going to be like live. I wish the server was more chill, ala EQMac, but the admins here have promoted competition from day one, and they have their wish.

In some ways, I think it's more fun when you know that if you wipe you won't get another shot. My favorite EQ moment remains sniping TMO's Overseer of Air [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
