OP, you really missed out on how fun this server was before it started showing it's age. Dang it was a blast when the lower level population was still healthy. I stopped playing around the time it all started crapping out but as you said in your title, it was fun while it lasted.
I've made a few attempts to get back into it but the leveling up part of the game is dead. It doesn't help that I play at odd hours.
In my opinion anyone who suggests soloing to max level is missing the point of EQ. Without grouping what is EQ? It's like the crappiest single player game ever made is what it is. If you aren't grouping, if you aren't interacting with other players, if the zones aren't alive with other players doing stuff---well then it's just a very, very crappy, boring, and pointless grind.
I wish they could find a way to fix it but nobody seemed to like my suggestion of having a remort month and I don't have any other suggestions.
I'm just waiting for Velious now because I expect there will be a brief resurgence of interest when it opens. Everyone coming back for their nostalgia run throughs you know. It will probably be fun again for a while then before it peters out again.
