Only true for those folks for whom EQ was their first online game, hence plenty of people can say the same for, say, Warcraft. Online gaming was new, but not brand-new, when EQ came out.

First online multiplayer game I played, in 1994, was 6 bucks an hour plus long distance dialup costs. Suffice it to say I didn't play it much!

All of these are also valid contributing factors, by the way. Part of P99's appeal to me is the fixed era.
