Question about Server and Requirements

[Hiyodori]

I am interested in possibly getting back into EQ and have a few questions...

- Has this server gotten to Velious yet?
- Where is the server located?
- Can I play with Windows 8? I tried installing some toolsset(forgot the dame, started with a |d| and I received an error)
- Also, does anyone know of any upcoming like Project 1999 servers that will start from the beginning again.

Thanks for the time in advance. =)
