Have to agree with what many have said. I also used to play on live with my bro. He got me into it, we both started during Vanilla EQ back in 1999. We went through several different chars until we each settled on a main which for me was a necro and him a mage. We duoed all the time all the way up until about 06 when we lost interest as the more expansions that came degraded EQ more and more. Not to mention at this time I was accepted into Beta for VG. So after him seeing me play VG we both just jumped on that game and played on and off for a few years.
Well we all know what happened to VG. Its still there but its like on life support. I tried to show him P99 and recounted the tales of our Norrathian adventures from long ago.
His response was basically a chuckle and similar to the OP's. After our expirience in VG, he just can't get back into the old antiquated play style of EQ grind with no flying mounts, low end graphics, etc especially with the limited time he has now days.
Basically all you can do is offer, if hes truly interested he will play, otherwise atleast you have your memories.
