I would have to say that I have always loved Qeynos. It was my first starting zone back when EQ was released. I made a half elf Paladin on Fennin Ro and later, made an Erudite Wizard (Synge) on the same server. I immediately ran over to Qeynos to play there (sucked when I died and wasn't yet bound in Qeynos though).
I love the music, the mobs, everything! When I was stronger I ventured out into Qeynos Hills. I got my ass handed to me a few times by the popular wanderers there.. I hunted at the ruins and leveled up. I can remember also my first group as we headed into West Karana for the first time. Man, we were all scared! We set up at the guard tower and killed giant spiders, lions, giant beetles, etc. We wiped a few times due to bandits but it was the best time! (and we got our revenge later at the bandit camps).. Later when I was high level, I'd run through the bandit camps and kill them all for old times sake..

I have always preferred Qeynos and I am planning on playing there. I just signed up and can't wait to play! I rolled an Erudite Enchanter (Fearstalker) and am going to move him over to Qeynos. If anyone wants to group around the Qeynos area, I'll be available! I can't wait to play EQ the way it was meant to be played! I just wish I had heard of the EQ emulator sooner. The closest I could find to classic EQ was on the official Mac server Al Kabor at SOE. See you all in game!
