EverQuest Project 1999 treats you like it's the only game you wanna play for the rest of your life. The amount of skill and knowledge it requires. You would be stuck reading guides more than playing as a new player.

That's not really the case. You can jus tplay the game and learn gradually over time through interaction with the world and it's players, and googling/reading things as they become necessary.
Remember, it's just an emulation of an old game. There was a time when there were stones yet unturned-- there were thousands of paid monthly subscribers in the game, crawling around blindly figuring things out as they went.
It's entirely possible to play the game, and enjoy it, while being perfectly ignorant to 80% of its mechanics etc.
A lot of people ENJOY a game that force to figure things out, and learna bout the world/mechanics in order to succeed in. Look at how DARK SOULS has spawned an entire GENRE. It is such a believed niche that imitators started popping up left and right. And DS and EQ are very similar in that regard-- games that don't spell anything out, or hold your hand at all. You have to figure things out and thankfully at this point in the timeline, most things can be google'd.
The problem is not the game. Everquest is still somehow alive as a franchise even in official capacity, not even counting all the players that focus on unofficial gameplay avenues. The "problem" is that you don't like games like it. Not eveyrthing is for everyone, and that's okay. It's not actually a problem at all. You don't like a thing that some people do. What the hell even is the point of this disguising this post as a dicussion? The same end could have bene achieved by titling it "I don't like EQ P99 and here's why"
