I had 1,000x more fun in my starter guild tunic at trainer hill in Crushbone or in bronze armor in Unrest.. Soloing with a Fungi and CoF just feels like "work" and a complete waste of time.

The most fun on P99 is grouping, making friends, going to a zone you never have been to, and getting better at your class (learning to pull a tricky dungeon, etc). Having a min/max attitude, power-leveling your toon, AE kiting, and mega-twinking takes the complete piss out of anything that made EQ enjoyable.

Very very true. There have been a couple games on console where I played for hours and hours and then decided that I just really wanted to try the best items in; so I used cheat codes and made my characters uber powerful, about half an hour later the game was boring and I didn't play it again. The best part about any game is the climb to the top, especially so in EQ where community is such a huge part of the game. I mean just compare it to WoW where although the community itself is much more vast than P99, how many people do you actually truly interact with and talk with on a regular basis for groups and such, probably very few, because the majority of the time you are grouping with people on other servers that you will never see again.
