A nostalgic and immersive MMO is what one Redditor says you should play if you’re looking for something different. They mention that Project1999, the free server for EverQuest, has a steep learning curve, but they believe that it captures the essence of how MMOs should feel.
“I would suggest checking out the Green server,” the user writes. “It has a healthy community size and plenty of grouping options at all levels.” Another user shares their memories of their first major death mistake in the game, which resulted in a long corpse run.
“I played on the release of the Ruins of Kunark expansion and it was wonderful,” another writes. “But the new tagging system is a disaster.” The introduction of a “tagging” system in a recent server is criticized, but overall, the changes and quality of life improvements are praised.
“I’m really excited about the new PvE server,” another writes. “I’ve been playing on Blue for years, and I want to go back and revisit the game.” Memories of notable locations, like East Common’s tunnel and Crushbone are shared, along with encounters with notorious NPCs.
“Any old Povar people on 1999?” a user writes. “I haven’t left the game since 1999,” another responds jokingly. “There are old Povar players on 1999, but not many from the pre-Velious era.”
Various users engage in trading conversations, discussing items they want to buy or trade for. “Remember the convenience of trading in the tunnel?” one user writes. “I spent so much time there.” Another recalls spending a lot of time there.
“EverQuest is the most addicting game I have ever played,” another user writes. “I recommend playing the normal EQ on the new time-release progression server,” another recommends, “it’s a better experience with more active players.”
“I’ll never leave you,” one user writes, expressing their interest in a reunion with a specific character from the game. Another user is recommended playing the normal EQ on the new time-release progression server, which they praise as a better experience with more active players.
“I haven’t left the game since 1999,” another user writes.
