P99 all the way.

'Knowing' everything hasn't hindered me too much because with this increase in capability has come with a different way to handle content. Plus there is enough content that the leveling path doesn't need to be the same way twice. I haven't played in the LOIO or Frontier Mountains ever on P99 because I played them to death on live when they were brand new...but places like Guk or Kaesora lie available, and with deeper pockets, more toys to use, and being better at the game, I can do more than I ever could before.
I think a lot of the people who play P99 are older, usually from the original series, and more diehard, since they could have gone to easier MMOs like many people a long time ago.

This.
I agree some of the mystery is gone. However, there are still places I haven't seen and experienced yet. EQ is vast and I think this is the pace the original needed to see and do everything you wanted to. Like mentioned earlier some people were still working on their mains when PoP came out. You can create several different characters now with a complete different experience if you choose to. I also enjoy p99 with current technology, period.
I'm not as lost this time around. One stop shopping on the wiki, as opposed to checking three different sites for a common denominator from the comment section.
There are tons of valid points to be made between the experiences of 2001 and p99. Overall, I believe P99 wins.
