I made a character on Phinigel at launch and played him for a few days.
It's not close to classic at all. Basically they took current live EQ and removed some stuff, such as non-classic zones, mercs.
But the remaining zones aren't classic at all. It's not the same NPC's. The gameplay is different... damage tables, mana/hp regen, relative mob strength, are all very different from classic or p99. Tens or hundreds of little details such as coin weight are different.
You can even parcel stuff around the world. Not sure about boats.
Everything is a lot easier and sucks compared to p99.
