#1 Ignore all online information and the wiki. That is the best possible classic experience you'll achieve. In terms of mechanics and gameplay. P99 is very classic and very well coded. It's been years in the making and nothing EQ comes to it. Not even live eq.
#2 The community is better than it has ever been in years. Seriously. Most of the bitter vets and trolls have moved on. So we're left with people who actually enjoy playing the game and want to be alongside others who enjoy it.
#3 There are tons of friendly people to help new players learn the ropes. It's a great time to try p99! There are people at ALL levels.. seriously Maybe not at low pop but that's to be expected on any game. Tons of group-ability here.
#4 For a brand new player expect it to take about 3 months of active play to hit 60. And I wont lie to you. There are people who powerlevel their long time guild friends in a weekend. But it's not all that common. I achieved my first level 60 after playing 2 years and two other characters before it. Who still to this day are not 60,.. but close.
Each character was a unique adventure. I met new people, saw zones I never played in before and experienced things in old zones I never got to see on my other characters. Exploring while leveling is probably one of the greatest things you can do to really experience classic - velious EQ.
#5 spend more time in game and less time on the forums. Unless you're looking for answers.
