Project 1999 is a free MMO that reset Everquest back to Velious expansion launch project1999.com I've been playing Project 1999 and Classic Everquest is every bit as fun as I remember.

Everquest is the Dark Souls of MMOs, nothing is handed to and death is expected; but the difficulty of the journey is just the fire forging you for greatness. "End Game Content" raids are challenges of legendary proportions where the successful completion of the raid itself is the reward; and no 'instance' limitations and rules to stifle your creativity in approaching the challenges was nice. Hidden quests and stories that can be discovered through chatting with npcs.

Discovering hidden things like this through staying in character really adds to the immersion
