A few days ago, I was in a similar situation, and I feel like our backgrounds are fairly similar, so I'll chime in.
The subject line was "Is it worth it?" - Danth addressed that: it's free, and we all have time that we're going to waste anyway on some leisure activity that gives us satisfaction in the moment. Costs/risks: some dashed hopes that the game wasn't as fun as you've chosen to remember it? awakening some old addiction?
Ultimately, I thought about the best memories I had of EQ (and gaming, in general) and I decided that there were some good times still to be had, so I took the plunge. We'll see if I'm still into it as summer turns into fall, but for now, I'm having a blast.
