P99 is the best old school EQ option available today, by a long shot. It's not perfect though. There is boxing, MQ, and RMT. These things are 'against the rules', but some people do slide through... Generally I think the admins do a decent enough job. It is a great place to get your nostalgia fix leveling 1-59.

Guest, did you like the last podcast notification?? Well here's the second one, and for the third podcast! Yep. This Thursday 8-8-24 at 7pm Central
Go here to check out his podcast thread for info on topics and links!Go into the FoH discord and find the Happy Time Fun Hour channel and give it a listen!
I just can't bring myself to play this. The thought to starting fresh at level 1 naked, knowing the grind ahead of me just keeps me from pulling the trigger.
For a first char, I highly recommend heading to EC tunnel. It is easy to get thorns/HP/crack there, basically powerleveling through the teens.
But yeah, after that it is a grind unlike anything seen in modern mmos

I can't tell if this is a troll or what but this is far from the best classic EQ experience you can get. People have summed it up already in this thread but I'd avoid this server like a plague.

Gotta agree, if you plan to raid you would do better to pound your balls with a hammer. New GM is a total idiot worse than the previous one, which honestly i did not think was possible. AVOID

LOL. You talk about a thriving economy and offer RMT in the same paragraph... beautiful.
Only worth playing if you're lucky enough to catch a daily grind group, since no boxing allowed. This leads to long LFG times, and even more at higher levels unless you're a SHM, ENC, or WAR. All racial/class exp penalties are still in tact. Bards and SKs will suck your exp nearly halfway.

Uh, no, I'd rather people play the game and work within the confines of said game to obtain what they want. Seems like basic economics to me -- you want something, you gather currency and pay for it. But, please, lecture me on how creating a black market economy that introduces artificial inflation into the existing one is part of basic economics, dude.
I don't care either way. I don't play there anymore, mostly due to reasons that have been previously mentioned in this thread. All I was doing was pointing out the obvious fallacy in your statement.
If anyone wants to gift me their old, unused, rotting account... I'd love to play again. Just don't think I have it in me to start yet again from level 1. Someone mentioned that EQMac is better, but since I'm Mac-less P99 is really my only option it seems.

I was actually thinking that last night, Err. i think
pretty much confirms it. 95% of Lumi's posts seem to call somebody or something retarded.
EQMac is definitely a good option, although it does have moon cats and a lower population. RMT is going to be available on any popular server. Plat is cheaper on EQMac if anyone is interested in that.
