Is it worth it?

[nostalgiaquest]

For some reason today I was reminiscing about the good ol days of EQ and started watching some youtube videos and found out that this 99 server was a thing, and it really sparked an interest in me. I'm now I'm debating with myself if it's something I want to get into.

I was a hardcore player in the pre luclin days. I had a top tier raiding bard and did pretty much everything available at the time. I don't have it in me to get to that level of commitment again, but i wouldn't mind running through the dungeons and zones of old for fun times sake.

The main thing is that I'm living in Japan, so i'm wondering what the average person's timezone is, and if I'm going to have issues finding groups and such if i'm an odd ball schedule? I figure i could swing a few hours of playtime most weekdays, and maybe a few weekends as well, but when it's 5pm here, it's 1am on the west coast. Right now it looks like there's 590 people playing, which seems ok, but i'm not sure about the level ranges and all that.

With only a few hours here and there to play, i'd probably end up taking forever to amount to anything, but i'm not too concerned with that. And I'd probably have to choose a class that is more tailored to soloing.

I dunno, I guess as this point i'm just thinking out loud. it sounds like something i'm potentially interested in, and I feel like i'm old enough now to control my addictive tendencies, lol. But I wonder, am i just being nostalgic and remembering the good times?
