I'm starting to wonder why I keep playing. I had the same feeling about 3 years into EQ as well. With no expansions left to look forward too, and I'm not even near the level cap, I'm sensing the end of my P1999 career is drawing nearer.

It is a revolving door, and this would bring much of that to an end.
I love EQ. In its pure form, there isn't another game that can even approach it. The perfect pairing of challenge overcome thru coop play, addictive progression and gameplay, offerings for both casuals and hardcores, but the entire house of cards tumbles when the process is trivialized.
People won't play EQ forever, but if P99 can at least preserve the above it will not only keep players here longer, but it will draw more players to a better, more true to form emulation.
