Ah.
Yeah, at 2001 I got my copy of EQ, and my account... before then I just played on someone elses account, who let me on as I played, and my playing helped their character level up hehe.
Anyway... my first MMORPG I started playing was EQ I believe, yeah, EQ, then I got my UO... now I am up to EQ2 and SWG.
Even though I was one of the few who was fortunate to have broadband since 1998 in a home setting, I had not taken full advantage of it until around 2001-2002. I had to get broadband (heh, price dropped about 4 times since then...) because of the phone wires, the lines that come into the street I live on are poor quality, and the dialup quality was, if I was lucky, bah, enough of that talk... most of the time I couldnt get on, and I "needed" the 'net, and back then, boy, I remember when I finally got a 1mbit connection lol, it used to be about 256k when I first got it, now I have a 11mbit line
I support your desire for everquest, but sometimes it is time to move on... times have changed, so much has changed and improved... in my honest opinion, if what you want are the old graphics, maybe you can copy over the old models? I do not know if that is possible, but that might give you some of the feel of the classic EQ that you wanted.
I highly doubt that anyone will be able to play with you if you are running freequest, many people are either on 6.x servers, on Squeaker/Scorpious2k on the 5.8 I believe it is, or have patched to live and do not know where to look, and are there waiting for the emu to catch up to live.
By the way, I feel like the freeze is a good thing, fix bugs before any new ones are created... good idea... and I support it.
