I think the problem is so many people posting played EQ absolutely to death back on live and have experienced and done everything possible so it's not longer as fun. If you wern't a hardcore raided back then, then p99 is quite a lot better experience overall.
I played EQ a lot back up through POP but was never really a high end player. To me p99 offer a lot of adventure. Wiki ruining everything? On the contrary it lets me experience quests and zones and things I just flat out never knew existed. I can select zones I've never been to before and experience a new side of EQ. I'm playing classes I never played on live because I understand them better and get a more fulfilling experience.
Twinking? Please, twinking was just as prominent on live. Maybe it was a bit harder to afford a fungi but beyond that there was always a fbss available on live, and it was never hard to get good weapons and basic stat gear too on live.
Everquest is what you make of it, there's plenty of grouping going on, and questing, and exploring. I rather like knowing about things rather than going through the world dazed and confused just hoping i'm not making a fool of myself.
