Tons of evidence lead us to believe that the experience on P99 is vastly different than in 1999.
Enchanters and charm, for instance.
And with people knowing everything and anything about everything.
We still have fun.
I mean, for the average player, there was still the learning curve for the fights, etc.
(even though fights are very easy in classic)
so top guilds cleared content rapidly but the normal guilds had trouble like back in the day.
A lot like seal team or much less raid target.
And that shit ain't classic.
Wait, what I am trying to say is that it's as classic as they can make a game everyone and their mom knows everything about because part of the classic experience was being a 12 years old idiot who don't know how to wow.

P99 is a very good version of Vanilla EQ because it fixes the majority of the issues with Vanilla, mainly bad client issues, interface issues etc.. Being Titanium Client kind of fixed things.
That is a hard comparison to make as P99 has no boosts/instancing etc that destroyed Everquest in the first place for me, Much like with WoW when they introduced instancing and shit and that killed it for me.
But WoW Classic spawned instantly with instancing.. they made no attempt at using zones, it was just one big server cluster fuck that live is today, these first principles that really matter are just forgotten today in like you say a way where moms and kids can play together while elitists can do their raiding and ignore it all.
Now they are doing server to server grouping, boosting.. Literally everything wrong with Live, because it IS NOT the content that is the problem with Live, it is the first principles of a MMORPG which they are again stamping into WoW Classic.. but they already did this so good riddance.
