Almost forgot! Probably the best part about classic Everquest is how specialized all the classes are. There are situations where you will basically need a certain class or class type.

Mana and health regenerates very slowly. Very few classes can speed up their mana regeneration and even fewer can regenerate other people's mana. Melee classes by and large can not heal themselves or if they can it's very slow and inefficient. Certain classes can't solo at all after a certain level.

There is really so much to this, I don't even know where to begin... Trust me.

There are planes that only a wizard can port you to. there are doors that only a rogue can open.

Factions! This game is NOT a black and white good versus evil setup. Everything is different shades of grey. besides your race you have to choose one of MANY deities to worship. (Certain classes can also choose to be agnostic.) Your race and class combination will make you loved by some and hated by others and somewhat tolerated by the rest. Most monsters you kill and quests you do will adjust your faction standing with multiple groups of people. This is very important. You can become despised in your very own hometown if you aren't careful. or you can make it your goal to be accepted in every city in the game!

I could go on and on...
