EQ was at its peak during PoP because cheap computers could be purchased at your local Walmart and broadband internet was available to everyone. There are a lot of people, including myself, which saw it (PoP) as a bellowing swan song for EQ.

I recall when PoP came out walking into a Best Buy and seeing videos of it playing as the display for new computers. This was the time when I felt like broad band was really starting to proliferate to more than just tech-savy house holds and PCs were on the front page of advertisements because Megahurtz were doubling every week.
I personally think PoP was a pinnacle because content was fun, good character progression opportunities, and high fantasy lore. The problem is after you have slain the Gods what else do you do in a fantasy game? GoD was terrible, both content and planning wise.
