I started playing classic everquest back in late 1999 it was a few months before kunark came out. I was hooked as soon as I started playing it! I had to upgrade my videocard and memory to run it back then!! LOL!
I played everquest until gates of discord and got sick of the new xpansions etc. So I drifted off many years playing many many MMO's. In 2012 my rl friend told me about project1999 and I was hooked since then. I've had many accounts among the years and its been a good run with many more to come. I like how hard it can be to grind out levels and grping with many different people of the community [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. No other game can fill the void like Project 1999 can.

My first MMORPG was UO, but I never got into it. I never thought I would get into MMOs until I played EQ back in the Velious era and got hooked as a ranger. Eventually, I met a girl who played D&D and we each recruited the other into their geeky pastime.
We played together (along with dating, marrying, etc.) for a while and it was only EQ2 that dragged us away. Original EQ2 was exciting and different, you have to understand, not the watered-down homogenised game it is now; I had a dark elf who betrayed Freeport to (eventually) earn Qeynos citizenship through blood, sweat and tears. When the novelty wore off, I tried a few other games. WoW was one of the few I stuck with for a while, my wife (that girl who taught me D&D and joined me as I explored Norrath) and I would play as our daughter slept in her crib. And then one day, we drifted away from WoW. I tried going back to WoW once or twice, but my hunter had been twisted beyond all recognition. No more melee weapons? No more ammunition? And my rogue... Suddenly poison was just a button you clicked when you wanted instead of a tradeskill and blade-application? This was not the WoW I used to play. I went back to EQ2 and... it wasn't pretty. Another game which was not anything like it had once been, converted for microtransactions and idiot-proofed. And so I came full-circle, finding myself in EQ again. Live has changed, already dumbed-down with Luclin's teleports and PoK books, it had added stupidity like handing you 10th level and a full set of newbie armour after a single evening's play. Yeah... No thanks. By accident or random suggestion in The Safehouse, I found Shards of Dalaya. It was better, more like classic EQ, but not quite. I played for a while, but it left me wanting and I drifted away. I cannot recall how I found Project 1999 any more. Maybe a bored SoD player mentioned it to me after I was caught grumbling. All I know is that I was hooked. Norrath is huge again, not some theoretical continent you skip around at will, but a huge continent filled with danger and excitement. My ranger once travelled from Greater Faydark to Qeynos on Live to help my wife buy a bard song; I encountered Kithicor and joined a guild that weekend, the journey was so epic. We were struck by the majesty and enormity of the world, the sheer scope of the game. A little while later, Luclin was released and I am not sure I saw Kithicor again until it was time to do my Ivy Etched armour. Even a new character was barely a half-hour run from anywhere in the world if you were careful, so the world shrank for me. A couple of weeks ago, in Project 1999, I took my low-level Paladin from Qeynos to Rivervale so I could earn the Shining Star of Light. I crossed the Karanas, running through Highpass and then Kithicor. Suddenly, the world felt huge again. I had not felt that sense of being so small in a world so big in years. EQ2 never felt so large, even though it was bigger. WoW really never felt very large at all. The current version of EQ on Live has never been as big since Luclin. So yeah; I quit WoW for P1999. I quit a lot of MMORPGs for P1999 because it's the first game in a decade that makes me feel like a small part of something epic in scale. Not bad for a 15-year old game...

I think we are all guilty of playing other MMO's at one time or another. I have tried them all at some point in time. But it is pretty amazing the the Original EQ has still stood up with time, as witnessed here on P1999, after all these years to still keep us wanting to log in mostly every day.
What unbelievable minds the original Devs had to have had to still make this game something we get excited about yet today. Pretty cool. [You must be logged in to view images.
