People hanging around banks was definitely classic, although I don't know if it was just because of the UI limiting your ability to move items around easily. I think a big factor was also that people didn't always feel the need to be doing something productive (like grind or camp something) while in game, and were happy to just hang out in city areas and be social.

I do remember running into people in pretty much every bank I used back then, although some were of course more busy than others. On Mithaniel Marr the Gfay bank always had several people, and the Qeynos bank had at least a couple others, as did Rivervale. I don't remember seeing too many people around the Kaladim bank though.

Of course, the North Freeport bank was THE place to be on our server, and usually had dozens of people in and around it. I still don't understand the appeal of EC as a trading zone, NFP was so much better.
