I don't think you can move on from a 13 year old game. That's why this server exists- because people can't.
I think we keep logging on because it was the first 3D MMORPG which set a high standard and it was tough and challenging. Eventually the game degraded into catering to the masses who wanted an easier place to play and the game lost its soul. Up until I had found P1999, I could never really get into the new games which came out. I never tried WOW because I disliked the look of it and the creatures were not to my liking (EQ was close to D&D in terms of creatures and classes). I wasn't that interested in soloing and could never get into solo games where it was me vs. the computer. I played live from launch for several years and would return from time to time but I never liked what it had become. My old favorite starting zones were barren and the game had changed in the wrong ways.
P1999 has allowed us to relive the glory years of EQ and has provided new players with a challenging game to experience for the first time. So, you are right, people can't move on because there's no place to move on to..
