new to EQMU newbie questions

[Faso]

Hey guys/gales,

I play EQ often and stumbled up this. With that said i have a few questions. Probably the typical newbie questions.

1. What is the benifet of playing here rather regular EQ?
2. Do you have to pay to play on these servers?
3. Why would you play here instead?
4. Do you guys still play on the regualy EQ servers?
5. How do i get connected to this so i can try it out?
6. Can i use my EQ characters, or do i have to make new ones?

Sorry for all the questions, i was just confused. Thanks in advance for your input.
