I just rolled my 3rd character and he popped up in Qeynos. I did a /w and saw 8 players.

That's why I play p99 - Because some awesome people made a classic EQ server and when I get on, there are 8 of you running around, doing chores and talking to stupid merchants & NPC's that are drunk at the docks, picking fights with other drunk NPC's and I know when I set foot in that glorious zone, West Karana - that among all those awesome NPC farmers and barbarians, will be 8 more awesome Hafllings and Wizards running around fighting spiders and lions.

I love Qeynos and the Karanas. Thank you P99 for letting me enjoy it the way it should be, with other Rogues, Bards & Warriors.

I hope you share your awesome love for EQ because for me, sharing classic feels is the best classic feel you can get [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty much the same. EQ really died with PoK since no one ever had to sit in a city anymore. Before I found p1999 I logged onto EQ live after some 10 years or so and everything felt so empty. Logging onto p1999 last year and actually seeing people running around cities won it for me.
Also a huge thing for me is no boxing. All of these people begging for boxing and "its classic". It was a tiny minority of players. With p1999 and free accounts and fast computers, everyone would be boxing every camp available. It would double or triple the amount of content being enveloped my powerleveling. It would greatly reduce the amount of player-player interaction. It would easily ruin the classic experience of the server in no time.
