Nostalgia and then reality results in disappointment.

I played EQ 1 for a few years starting in 1999. It was a blast. People were always ad-hoc grouping together, talking to each other after a camp fight.

I remember just starting and my home base being in Queynos and a bunch of us level 5s went with a lvl 12 on an adventure to Freeport. Most of us died and we helped each other with corpse runs. Trains coming out of Black Burrow were a blast, everybody would zone out to that little corridor into West Queynos.

Those days are over though. I did download Project '99 years ago, went through a bunch of hoops to get it running, and 15 minutes later after logging in, just deleted it. Nostalgia meets reality.
