What? The only thing "hard" about this is being able to deal with leveling slow (but still killing mobs with less buttons used than WoW) and having your zerg be the first one to get a claim on something, and some, if not most, would consider these skills as not "hard". There seems to be this weird misconception that Everquest is "hard" when in fact it isn't.
I put quotes around hard to emphasize that other might think this stuff is hard, but if that is the case, good thing you play here, because you would never make it in any modern day MMO.

Compared to other MMOs, yeah, it is. I'm not whining in a sense that whenever I play I'm constantly dying and on-edge, exerting every brain cell I have to stay alive.
However, walk up to a typical experience-yielding mob in a modern MMO and P99 and just start attacking while spamming abilities. Do this 5 times in a row.
The modern MMO character will probably have full mana/hp by the end of it, the P99 character will probably have died/went oom by the third mob.
"BUT THAT JUST MEANS THAT THE GAME IS SLOWER!"
Maybe, but you're still not accomplishing the same thing with the same resources.
That being said, have an 8 year old kill a few lvl 50+ mobs in WoW vs doing a quad, single pulling or having adequate mana conservation in EQ.
