1. Only 1 option for dungeon per level range (due to low level pop)
2. Velious gear twink makes the game trivial
3. Not looting any gear upgrades as you level or having any reason to do quests, because you bought a full set of velious equipment in the tunnel, makes the game boring
4. Nothing is unique/Nothing to conquer. Everything had been farmed for years.
5. All the UI/gameplay differences they've been era flagging that make the game more challenging. 6 buttons first person no tab cycling or pet window, you can't see in the dark, your gear sucks you die a lot, no ports for CR and your spider silk don't stack. That's classic everquest. And if you are just starting here in 2009 and not wanting classic everquest, why are you here? Plenty of great games out there
A lot of new players were introduced to blue EQ during this time. Green is going to be an eye opener. No guys with 6 level 60s stopping by to drop 200pp on a random noob or even 20pp. "get your own" is classic eq. Bound together by the hardships will give you a real taste.

There is a reason the boat is there. Dunno if there will be a DaP guild on green. Probably since its been established but its not classic. There were no fantasy business taxi guilds.

But hey.. you can always roll a blonde woodelf chic and shake your tiddies for donations. That would be classic.

If loramin took the wiki and split it all up and scattered it to like 20 different webpages and buried the info then players would get a taste of that too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
