How they ended up on P99 I’ll never know, but they definitely come from the raiding scene more than anywhere else.

I think most came here for nostalgia, some came to try out something they heard about but never got a chance to play.

Further to that, they came here for the chance to try content they never got to. They saw their failure to succeed 20 years ago, and wanted to make amends to that and become a 'master of the game'. I know I was excited to go back to eq classic and try it again but as a more experienced player.

Eventually, as we exhaust lower content and try out higher end stuff, we get caught into the trap. We move further away from our live experiences; content we never saw before, tactics and strategies that didn't exist. Player competition we never saw on live.

Eventually this microcosm becomes the new game for us and we forget why we originally came to p1999. When the status quo is shaken up we feel like we have lost something we are entitled to.

It takes a moment to regain the perspective of why the project is here: as an exercise in experimental archaeology to help recreate this game we love as it was.
