Ready to play, but how?

[Starstorm]

Hello all! Very excited at the chance to play the real EQ again. Games like WoW and EQ2 were always so fast paced I never got the enjoyment out of them that I did from the original EQ. So I'm ready to go!

However, is the only way to play P1999 to spend $200 on Titanium? I'm not asking for anyone to tell me how to get it illegally, seriously, I'm just not able to afford $200, (I just bought a new gaming laptop) - is buying an expensive hard copy the only way to go about this?
