I've never made close friends on P99, and I find that kind of sad because I genuinely love conversation with people online. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that people on TLP are way more interested in friendship and social interaction with one another.
I played the hell out of some P99 and never heard a single friend's voice on voice chat. My first night on TLP I had a group invite me to Discord, and started regularly having voice chats 1-50. Makes the game a lot less mind numbing and disorienting when you have friends to talk to and joke with.
It's honestly nice to be able to hear someone's voice too, and see what they look like or learn more about them or where they're from. You can tell when someone's getting tired or if they are serious about trying to pull an all-nighter. If they're trying to be greedy with loot or if they genuinely want something for an upgrade.
Also a shocking amount of females play on TLP, which was surprising for me, but it really shouldn't be. Like go on Tiktok and search EverQuest and that's literally the tip of the ice berg. I would argue that TLP has a female population comparable in proportion to that of WoW.
Also another thing about TLP that makes it more social is the fact that you can group with your friends. On P99, you don't just log on and group with your friends unless you are lucky. You usually take whatever group you can get, and a lot of times that's no group at all. But on TLP you build a group of friends, and then go to whatever zone you want to play in and type /pick and have fun. It feels so much better when you play the game with people you consider friends and not just the only group in your level range who would invite you, and whose name you probably won't remember 2 days from now.
