Hi All

What I miss most about EQ is chatting to people. You can't do that in modern MMO's as you are too busy spamming skills. And nowadays in WoW if you even try talking to people they just ignore you.

Anyway!

I was wondering if there is much of a 'community' on the blue server. I notice there are around 150 ppl online atm, which isn't many, but would also be plenty if you all get along and play together.

You can definitely chat to people here. Peak numbers for the server are actually back over 500 if you play at those times. It is a top heavy server since it has been around a bit of time, but I find there are lots of new people as well as people leveling alts. Finding a group in many of the more frequently populated areas like Mistmoore, Sol B, Unrest, KC isn't too tough. You will probalby need to bring your own group to some places like Droga, Kaseora etc..

Are there many guilds, or too many guilds? Like in WoW you'd have '000s of guilds with <10 players online. Surely it would be better to have 100 guilds with 100 people online..

There are fair number of guilds, particularly if you are jus leveling. Not a massive amount but they have decent numbers.

When is Velious due? This was my favorite expansion hands down and it would be great to come back and level to 50 before this expansion. Did the lvl cap raise to 60 with SoV or was that Luclin?

Uncertain when Velious will come out. The Devs are working on it but this is a free project so they have to balance this with real life. The server currently has Kunark enabled so the level cap is 60.

Is the levelling rate like it was during Vanilla (hell levels etc)? I don't know that I have time now to invest like I did when I was young and free.

Yes there are hell levels and class xp penalties! Check out the wiki at http://wiki.project1999.org/

I could probably find this out by searching, but I'm too lazy. Is the server EU or US? Are there many EU players on at EU prime time? Are there players from all over Europe. This is another thing I missed in WoW. Blizzard wants every country playing on their own server. Which might be great for pings but I miss playing with the Mighty Danes and Swedish (and others).

The server has both EU and US players.
