I'm not nostalgic for old EQ. I was an adult when it came out and the wife and I both well remember its poor management and problems all too well. It took only a few short years before that game morphed from something I liked, into something I did not. I've no interest in re-living that! That's the great weakness of the MMO/RPG genre, and of expansion-driven business models more generally. Even if you find a game you like, you get to watch it slowly break apart in front of you until you can't stand the thing anymore. It stinks.

P1999's no nostalgia fix. Rather, it's a version of EQ that takes away the parts that drove me out of the game the first time around. It works; I've spent far more time here than I did in the original. The fixed era might be regarded as a weakness, but it's a tolerable weakness. It if gets old sometimes, well, so do my other hobbies as well. That's why I have hobbies (emphasis on plural) and don't try to fixate on any single activity. P1999 works well for what it is and I'm glad to have it always available.
