Looking for a server -"Classic" feel but EZ mode
First, thanks to everyone who is involved in setting up this project and the various servers; I could only imagine how much work is involved.
I am an old-school EMarr player who tried out EQEMU a few years ago and had a blast. I am about to jump back in and am trying to find a server that essentially is Project 1999 but with EZ mode. In other words, my dream server would be:
1. The original game and/or the first few expansions. I started playing right before Kunark was released and played through Luclin and want to "take a trip down memory lane". I don't care if the other expansions' content is on the server, but I want to fight the "original" mobs (Vox, Fear, etc.). In other words, I'd want to experience the same PoF that I played in 2001 but without the headache.
2. Higher drop rates/spawn rates - while I want to enjoy the fun of LGuk, I'd love to only have to kill the Frenzied Ghoul once or twice to get the FBSS. Super bonus points if the pre-nerf guise still drops.
3. Faster exp gain - I have two kids and a demanding job so I'd like to be able to get up to 60-65 in 3 weeks or months rather than 3 years
4. Solo/bot friendly - See #3 above. I have essentially stopped playing multiplayer games because I frequently need to go AFK for an hour or two at a time. I ideally don't want to two-box and would much rather be able to use bots. If the game was scaled to allow me and 5 bots to handle Inny or Vox that would be perfect.
5. Original graphics/spell effects - not as important as the others.
Thanks in advance for any guidance as to what server I should choose.

I have skimmed the list, but some servers don't have a website and some of the explanations aren't clear.
I was just looking for any player recommendations based upon experience, but if I offended anyone by being a newb, I apologize. Also, if this is the wrong sub-forum to post, please let me know where I should have posted instead.
Thanks.

you aren't going to find any one server that meets all criteria. you have to just pick one that hast most of them and compromise with that until you get bored and try another one. thats what the rest of use do, especially those of use that don't box

Thanks for the recommendations. It is hard to tell from the various websites (especially hard to tell on Karana's) but do these rely upon "custom" content or loot? I would like to avoid those types of servers if possible. For example, if I go to Guk, I want to know that there will be a FBSS waiting for me. Likewise, I'd want to be able to start around FP and not in some weird plane that was added years after I stopped playing.
Thanks again!!

99% of solo servers have some kinda or full custom. Karana is pretty well customized with a quest up to 3.0 epic ect. But still has nostalgia drops in most zones most servers keep this but will also add additional drops to said names ect. Casual dreams is prob only server I know if you can still play nostalgic but solo all way to quarm in planes of power. Its gonna take time not a server you will hit 65 max aa and best in slot gear in a week. Best bet jump around servers play on em see what you like everyobe has there own thing going on.

Thanks! I think I am between Casual Dreams, Visions of Grandeur, and perhaps AxClassic and will give them all a shot! When you talk about jumping around - can you move characters between servers or will I need to create new characters on each one?

You will need to make new ones on each just like you would on live VOG is box server no bots only solo friendly if you box. AXCLASSIC is dead pretty much

Being a "newb" usually doesn't offend anyone, so no need for anyone to apologize for that. I did happen to notice you have been on this search
for about 7 years now ?

Haha, unfortunately the friend with whom I was playing got another job and we stopped playing. Thus, I guess I am restarting my "quest" to find the right version of everquest.
