Comparisons between EQ Live, P99, and EQ Live Phinigel?

[Mitchell92]

Hi all,

Having never progressed extremely far on any EQ... I would appreciate a comparison.

I was playing on EQ Live on Cazic Thule and really enjoy how the Mines of Gloomingdeep provide great assistance getting started.

At the same time, I read Phinigel is Time-Lock, and I'm curious - Is that a lot like P99? What's the differences?

I'm also very curious being that Phinigel requires a subscription to play, and being that its time-locked I'm very curious if its in a very similar state as P99?

Being a fan of open source software and community driven projects, from my perspective I'd rather give the occasional donation to the P99 team to keep their work alive versus a monthly fee to DBG.

With all that aside, I guess my question is all in the title as well as being curious if Phinigel and P99 are almost identical in nature being that they are all "Classic EQ"?

Thanks so much
