Complaining isn't going to change anything. I highly doubt any one who wants the authentic EverQuest experience would advocate for a change to the death mechanics. I prefer to lose my stuff when I die. It makes me think about every encounter before I engage. It's Risk vs Reward. If there is no risk where is the reward?

Have you ever played Diablo (Original) or Diablo 2? Same mechanic. Die, spawn corpse at death point, corpse has your inventory/equipment. Both are great games.

Not all, but most new games have no risk therefore there is little to no reward to the experience; in my opinion.
In Guild Wars 2 you don't lose anything on death. I prefer it that way... But imo all MMOs suck except P99.

Rather confused. Not sure whether or not you are being genuine here. But Guild Wars 2 was released 13 years after EverQuest. World Of Warcraft came out 5 years after EverQuest launched. Sounds like you may be interested in playing World of Warcraft from the sound of it. WoW was inspired by EverQuest and has those "Quality of Life Improvements" you are looking fore.

I played Guild Wars 2 for a longer period of time and a little bit of Old School RuneScape. I think they're terrible compared to P99. P99 is good but difficult to get into. I am occupied with Battlefield 6 right now but if that ever gets boring I'll come back to my level 4 Iksar Necromancer.

Level 5 is nothing, you don't even have any sense of the game at level 5 - or even how large (space) this game really is.

But if it's too hardcore for you, then it is. No shame in just bowing out because you're unable to get into it.

If you decide to stick around then get involved with the community and ask questions, join a guild, read the wiki, post constructive forum conversations, don't just seek validation in not having fun <3
