It will truly be a pity if this server never has a chance to mature further, but regardless of what transpires going forward I want to express my gratitude to those who made p1999 a reality, if even only briefly. I just found this place last weekend, and while I'll be bummed if it doesn't come back up, I had a really good time doing naked corpse runs at level two. Thanks also for affirming what I'd believed since I first played EQ back in 2000; that I didn't just dig the game because it popped my MMO cherry, but because EQ back then just had character unlike any of its successors.
Moreso than missing the chance to replay that game, though, I'll regret that I didn't get to game with more of the folks populating this server, because for the most part the community here struck me as singularly united in celebrating nostalgia and sentimentality, something utterly devoid in more modern MMO's, and a set of traits which lend themselves to a much more memorable gaming experience.
Really a shame that some folks are apparently incapable of gaining anything resembling a healthy perspective and feel compelled to sabotage the enjoyment of others to sate their own gnawing dissatisfaction, but not necessarily surprising.
Anyway, best of luck getting this thing up and running again. I'll be keeping an eager eye on your progress, and thanks again for giving me a week at least to remember what got me into this genre in the first place.
