You're pretty much right that there is not much of a point to play on a legit server that is an exact copy of EQ Live. Its the exact same thing and nothing is new, but there is no such thing as a server that is exactly like live here. People try to make some as close as possible but its an impossible task unless someone steals Sony's server code and DB. On all servers here you can level up much faster, which is a big bonus to most of us who have no desire to spend years and hundreds of dollars getting a character to level 65. And most servers are much farther from Live than that. Custom Legit servers are the best servers here in a lot of people's opinions (the other people like not legit the best). They are a completely different game from EQ live, they jsut use the same graphics. Mobs use the same model but may be a completely different level range, quests and story lines are radically different. My favorite server is Scorpious2k and on this the low level zones are very similar to Live, but with some interesting and suprising twists and the higher level you achieve the farther from Live it becomes. And thanks to Scorp's genious we can level up to double the normal maximum level and fight challenges that are apropriate for those levels all while going through unique and fun quests and storylines.
