My introduction.

[Ghamarro]

Hello everyone,

I am totally new to EverQuest and, actually, found out about P1999 just quite recently and thought I'd come say hi and ask a few questions while at it. Learning about this site and this project already convinced me completely, and I pretty much went straight on over to eBay and bid on an EQ Titanium Edition, hehe. =P

My MMO history is quite sparse; I have only played two MMOs in my whole life time of 27 years, which are WoW from a few months after the launch of TBC (didn't raid actively until Mists of Pandaria, though) and TESO, with which I dabble with even today. As I pretty much completely skipped vanilla WoW in retail, I thought I'd try out a failry populated private server with no donation-to-win gates called Nostalrius, and I was not disappointed! This made me think that P1999 would probably be better for me as in terms of EQ than what the official retail progression servers would have to offer. This one seems much more legit and is also quite very popular.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how each of the servers actually play out, however; I understand the difference between a PVE and PVP server from my WoW days, but I can't for the death of me figure out what the deal is with the Discord server. Is it down only temporarily? Is it a PVE or a PVP server? And most importantly; what expansions are currently unlocked there? I would be interested in experiencing EQ from the earliest content possible. Yes, even with the horrible vanilla 1.0 user interface, if possible. =P That's right, I'm hard core. =P

Cheers!
