Kinda torn on this. I enjoyed playing here at launch. Its true that the zones were much more empty due to low population and they had to turn general chat on as world wide channel to help people find grps, but it was still a great experience. even with all the bugs and stuff, it was great then.
I definitely think a relaunch with the all the fixes and patches/expansions on the real timeline would be a great experience too, but I enjoyed p99 when it was still brand new also.

I played possibly late 2009 and definitely early 2010. I had a lot of fun, so not sure what that's about.
It's not just nostalgia. This old argument is a dead horse. For every 1000 players tried EQ, maybe 200 or fewer stayed longterm. Of those, maybe only 20 actually liked it for what it was and not just because it was their first. The result is, some people at project 1999 were one of those 20 people in every 1000 who genuinely liked it. Nostalgia exists for everybody, but these people don't need it to enjoy the classic EQ experience.
Like it or not, some of us favor old EQ for what it was, warts and all. "One man's garbage is anothers' treasure." That statement isn't BS and it applies here. Many gamers won't acknowledge it or they dismiss. So they continue arguing endlessly at the wall, like Sisyphus being condemned by Zeus to forever roll a boulder up the hill. The answer is simply to accept other people can like a pile of s***. It's their right, as it's anybody's right, to play what they like and go their own way. Whenever possible, we should leave it alone, or tragically get trapped like Sisyphus.
