EQ made the news a couple of times - eBay/plat sales being a giant economy with a massive GDP was one. Someone offed themselves over something that was painted as being vaguely EQ-related, and that made the papers. Some addiction research papers singled out EQ and the results were widely published and debated.

Playing EQ a decade ago and reading the news was a little like having a relative who was put in jail for tax evasion and hung themselves with a pair of boxers. Sure, you're kinda connected to the headlines in some way, but you don't exactly call your parents or bring in a clipping of the Sunday Times to show-n-tell.
