Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today (www.pcgamer.com)

Thanks to fan projects, it's still possible to play EverQuest as it used to be. The latest fan-run classic EverQuest server, Project Quarm, launched on October 1. Like other unofficial fan servers the Al'Kabor Project and Project 1999 before it, Quarm strives to present the game as it existed back in the first couple years of the game's life—warts and all. Unlike Project 99, however, this server will progress through the classic era all the way through the 2002 Planes of Power expansion, seen by many to be the peak of the EQ experience.

Always cool to see fan projects like this. I know there are a few out there but I'm struggling to remember the names of them.

I thought there was one for Ultima Online I saw but that might have just been an article about its official online mode.

The article really seems to be for people who played EverQuest or similar MMOs a while back and are nostalgic about them though
