I think Shards of Dalaya rocks personally it is quite a bit different than the original EQ, but I find it to be in good taste overall and the community is really good overall much better than most mmorpg communities I've encountered. Read there rules/info section and if it sounds appealing give it a try. The server usually has around 100-400 players/accounts online at a time and your allowed to play 2 accounts at a time just note if you try playing 3 accounts simultaneously you'll be banned. There's also a server called EQ Classic and Project EQ or something like that which might be worth checking out if you want something that replicates the old EQ servers up to around veeshan expansion releases
