This project itself is an indication of the shared desire for things to be restored to their previous state, as they once were, despite the work required to accomplish that and an awareness of how impractical that is in real terms, using "real" loosely something since it is virtual, not physical.
And yet, even when faced with the impossibility of recreating a 1:1 copy of that old world, so many endeavor to do just that, contributing in one way or another towards a monumental task that will never be completed. And so the game, everquest, lives up to its name. All the while so we accept numerous imperfection and knowingly deviate from nostalgia because it is our nature to advance and push the boundaries, even while clinging to the past with all of its familiar comforts.
