Just play around each server and see what you like, its all free so test as many servers as you want and pick what type of custom (or non-custom) play you like. I've been around the emulator for a few years (contrary to what my join date says) and the best way is to find out yourself how you like the server. Though its not a bad idea to listen to some reviews of the other posters

Also having different clients (i.e Titanium vs. SoF+) can affect your choice because while some servers have content in post titanium zones, others only use titanium zones for their server.

P.S. EZ from what I hear stands for Enhanced Zones and does not mean easy.

Lots of great suggestions for servers to play on. Project 1999 is a fun server, and feels true to the original experience. You do have to submit a request on their forums to have an exception to their IP policy, which limits you initially to on account only. Their policy against multi-boxing is pretty strict.

That being said, I am also looking for a server and plan to try out a few of them that have been listed. I'm mostly looking for a server similar to P1999, but that allows multi-boxing and/or GM commands. Mostly I just want to run around the world once in a while remembering better times of gaming and record some in-game footage.

LOL, I have seen that mentioned on EZ forums as well. I think a random person made that up and now it's spreading. Haven't ever seen anything from Hunter confirming that, and I am positive that EZ server stood for "easy server" when he created the server. It would be 1 thing if Hunter actually said that it stood for Enhanced Zones now, but I find it funny how people believe anything they read from random people on forums :P

Yeah, I know it isn't easy, but the difficulty of the server isn't what I was debating. I was just saying that the EZ in the name represents "easy", or at least it did at one point as far as I have known. Though I guess only Hunter could say for sure.

I haven't really played on the current EZ server, but my characters were some of the top ones on the original EZ server before the wipe almost 4 years ago when everything was lost. The hardest quest I did there was the LDoN quests where you turn in 4 of neck/ring/earring/belt and it upgrades it to the next level. Then, you turn in 4 of the next level to go up to the next level. I think it did that something like 10 or 12 times, so you basically had to turn in around 12000 items even when farming the highest possible ones which were level 6 IIRC. They weren't stackable either and you had to zone to another zone to do the turn-ins, so it was pretty rough lol. It was an insane quest and I completed it just before the wipe happened. It turned out OK though, because that is what convinced me to go full time with developing Storm Haven

Lol, I didn't mean to sound ignorant when I said that, either/or could be a plausible name for the server. I just thought Enhanced Zones sounded cooler in all honesty
