Word of mouth + viral is why this is occurring. I heard about this on Reddit and I told my friends. Now 5 of us are playing.

Indeed, I was playing EQ2, was kinda new to it, kinda playing with a 'ho hum' attitude..

Then someone in chat mentioned this in the course of 'old EQ chatting'.
Now I'm here, wife joined, friend joined, and son might too.

Kinda funny on my son's part, he always wanted to play EQ with us 'back in the day' - but he was young then. Few years later and WoW burn-out and he'll get a chance now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And I'm STILL having tons more fun than with any of the 'new' MMOs, and I tried a LOT of them.

WoW, AoC, DDO, LoTRO, Shayia (however it's spelled), Perfect World, Warhammer, EQ2, Vanguard... might be forgetting one or two.

And NONE comes close to classic EQ, in all honesty.

Thanks again Nilbog and others!
