Play on The Hidden Forest or EQ Titan or something. They have really good GM's, no corruption, nice playerbase in general, and the tedium is mostly gone because there is a lot of simplification available, especially with the modern Underfoot client. Some servers have buff bots, mercs, even macroquest. It can be EQ but how you want it. Also Al'Kabor is a good option for original hardcore classic EQ, but you can 3 box which makes life easy.

I've been thinking about hooking up my second (smaller) monitor and loading EQ and playing it while doing other stuff.
Thing is my EQ experience is limited - I played some p99 and a little live back in the day but nothing worthwhile. What is the best free option for me to really get into this?

It's fun.
I started a Cleric / Monk combo Thursday July 28th. I was able to get up to lvl 58 by last night (Aug 4th). Monk has epic, VP keyed.
Manastone is in.
Guise of the Deceiver (all class DE illusion) is in.
Jboots drop from Drelzna in Najena.

As has been said several times over, for me it was the unknown, the fear, the adrenaline, the loss of sleep just hoping for that one rare drop when you are up way to late on a pof raid.
Nothing like some jackleg calling your house and disconnecting your modem and the oh shit I think I'm linkdead while you are fighting. The not knowing whether you were alive or dead until you could log back in.
The first time I ran to Thurgadin and at the entrance there was Thott from Afterlife. I was in awe and just stared at all the gear I wish I could obtain but knowing I would never have it.
The late night tells to friends who would come from wherever and whatever they were doing to help with a corpse retrieval because they knew the helplessness you felt.
The oh shit what do I do now moments like when I attacked that blue con wisp with my non magical weapon and not able to hit it.
The pure sense of accomplishment you and your guildmates felt as you were finally able to down that raid target you have worked so hard to kill.
It was just a magical time and nothing will ever be able to recapture that, but I wouldn't change a thing about the experience.
I still have friends I communicate with in real life that I met through that game and we will be life long friends because of it.

As much as I hate to say it the fuck ups that slipped into the game. Patch days were great on two ocassions for me. Once they allowed you to forage anything that dropped in zone. I foraged a lamentation in Seb.
Another patch made it where archery had no delay at all and you could hit shit from outside the aggro range forever, it would just sit there until it died. I did Sont solo when he was highly contested. About 10 minutes after I finished the servers came down and it was patched again, but no reset. That was fun.

Best part. Fuck slot machine spawning stacked with slot machine drops.
Is /melody in? I love bards, but fuck twisting. Did that on the last EQ server. Never again.

In general I dislike accelerated progression and boxing of any kind for exactly that reason. I actually feel like the PH change is better for the health of the community as it allows people to get what they need and rotate from a given camp more quickly, and can get relevant loot to their level without bypassing that range very quickly, but XP/difficulty changes erode the impact of the second benefit.
How about faction adjustments? Are they accelerated?

I always enjoyed weirdass bugs that you discovered by accident. Two come to mind, circa 2001-2002 maybe.
After one patch, for a day or two you could cast shaman epic on players. I tried not to kill anyone with it, and it's a pretty weak DOT, but it was fun freaking out people in the EC tunnel.
The other that comes to mind was for a while you could cast dispel on most if not all mobs in PoK (like the roaming guards) and they'd attack anyone near them. They were like level 65 so they hit pretty hard. After 5-10 seconds of fucking up someone they'd revert back to walking their path. As I recall you couldn't actually hit them back, you just had to run. I remember cracking up at shit like that.
I'm sure I know others but I haven't played since 2003 so I've long since forgotten them.

Probably like two years ago now we discovered that when someone got feared by a mob (like entire raids from Nagafen/Vox) the game treated them as NPC's. A few of us would take our wizards and just hang out while our competition attempted dragons, whenever it would fear we'd start AEing everyone. If the tank ever got feared successfully we'd root/nuke him down asap. Was always hilarious.

Wow, that still functioned like that in recent history?
I'm almost certain that existed back when I played. I remembered not wanting to duel necromancers in EC because sometimes people would pile on while you were feared and kill you with DoTs which would cause you to die with lost XP.
