the server will grow and shrink at various times, but Project 1999 provides a fun, compelling experience and the closest thing to classic that exists (and likely will ever exist, unless EQClassic ever gets finished, through some miracle). people will come back when they get nostalgic and then leave once they are sated. this will repeat again and again until the devs have to pull the plug for whatever reason.
the difference here is that everquest requires players to play the game. you can play final fantasy 7 by yourself at any time without anyone helping you. this game is the staple of a social game.
