Which Server has the pure Launch Everquest game? No expansions?

Classic is my own favorite period of the game, but it's marred by the woefully inadequate amount of content for levels past about 35. It was allright when P99 was in that period due to the low population at the time, but the present population (or higher) would be problematic to say the least.

So Kurnark and Velinous does not feature content and gameplay features that spoils what the original launch Everquest's gameplay?

What gameplay features do the first 2 expansion offers other then new continents, dungeons, monsters, and what have you?

This server is going to be the closest to launch Everquest that you’ll experience anywhere. The active population here is really what makes this server special.

iksars, lvl 50-60, epics. Did you play original EQ and quit before kunark launched so you dont want to play it or something?

Well, just an idea, but you could simply stick to the old world and only play there. You will still find plenty of people in the old world dungeons, so don't worry about that.

yeah dont ding past lvl 50, dont go to kunark or velious or use kunark/velious gear, and dont get your epic

Sounds great!

Not that I don't want to play Kurnark.

Its that I worry that the launch content of Everquest will become irrelevant.

I have this goal and vow that I wanna fight and beat Lord Nagafen in that Dungeon of his. But I worry that not many people are forming parties to fight that guy becuase he's outdated. And people will be equipped with the new stronger gear that the expansions offer, making Nagafen easier.

He still drops some dank swag like cloak of flames, so I'm sure he's still on farm. Roll a cleric. Obviously you can't do anything about the gear of others, but it's the closest you are going to get. Nag was pretty much a joke in classic though. Vox was the real accomplishment.

You don't have to worry about this. The original game does NOT become irrelevant on a server locked at Velious. Case in point, using your own example: Nagafen is, still (after 9 years!) routinely killed almost as soon as he spawned and he's hugely contested. He is easier, arguably, although with unlimited raid sizes and heal click items he was never truly difficult.

Many of the leveling zones are well-populated and routinely see significant grouping activity. Drops like flowing black silk sash, if no longer considered high-end, still see use.

I remember the "fun" of trying to play classic on servers with ~2000 population. Lower guk with 100+ people--stinks! I do not like either expansion quite so well as I liked the original. However, they're good enough while greatly resolving the original game's crippling lack of content. Even better would've been the original game having more to do at 35+, but at that point we're talking daydreams, not reality.

Usually at least 3 separate groups will race to kill Naggy upon spawn due to bladestoppers

Just letting you know that I am COMPLETELY new at this game.

Never played Everquest 1 when it came out because I was a little kid. So now I am trying to experience this game as it was since I have tried out EQ 1 in its Live incarnation before.

I don't even know what works at all in this game. I mean I only just started fighting enemies and browsing merchants. I don't know where to get quests.
