EQ was a lot of peoples first MMO. I personally feel that once a person has invested so much time and money into a game it's hard to stray away from it.
Everquest provided a magical experience back in the day. Most people will always compare a new game they play to old school EQ. It's probably why so many games fall sort of people's expectations (if they aren't completely horrible to begin with).
I often question if there will ever be a game that will instill that magical feeling I got when playing EQ. Sadly I don't think there will but only time will tell.
Only games to truly captivated me:
Everquest
Everquest II
Ultima Online
