New Player Considering Joining

[OneEyedJack]

I've been googling quite a bit in search of a classic EQ server, and stumbled upon Project 1999. In all honesty I was looking for a server that could take me back to the days when level 24 was max and the old UI was kind of a pain in the rear, but I understand most people didn't really care for it. I'm giving serious consideration to joining this server, but have a few questions.

1. How difficult is this to set up? I am not the most technologically advanced. (And that's putting it politely)
2. I saw a thread about someone stealing stuff... I don't remember that being part of the game? Or is he just trolling?
3. Is this a pvp sever?
4. Is there a way to use the old UI?
5. What time does the server come down for maintenence? What time zone is it based out of?

I'm sure I have many other questions... but I'll keep browsing the forums to try and find the answers I need. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
