I played Everquest back in the day then played hardcore on Project1999. Project1999 is a free emulator, they recreated everquest from Classic to Velious, servers are packed, prob more populated then original game. Figured I would throw that out there if anyone was interested.
The creators of everquest were working on Pantheon- Rise of the Fallen, was suppose to be the next best MMO but the dude died, so dono if it will be finished.
