You rely on each other to do things and go places, not only at level 60 but at level 1 as well. The pace of leveling lets you build relationships on your character via grouping and actually having to communicate with the people around you. You learn who is good at what on your server. You make friends and enjoy doing things together.
You can go to multiple spots at any part of the game to gain exp which gives it that sandbox feel, the game doesn't force you to do anything or go anywhere specific. You can camp a mob for loot for 8 hours or go help a group of new comers, buffing them, passing off your junky bank items, etc. You impact the overall game by what you do and who you meet.
The community plays a major part in it, things like gm events, casinos, fun level 1 gnome battles, raffles, all kinds of stuff. When I log onto EQ it doesn't feel like
