the community is what made classic EQ great.

the difference between EQ and every other mmo was that when they created EQ they created a world first, and now when MMOs are created they are created as a game first.

EQ was a world that u just got thrown into and had to learn to swim or drown. people interacted because people needed each other to survive. current MMOs dont have that forced interaction for survival/progression, and moreover they "feel" like games, and because of that, they will never allow for the same immersion that EQ gave people.

theres a reason that every EQ server has unique little differences that separate it from every other server. above all things, EQ was community driven, and simply switching servers would allow for almost an entirely different game.

good luck future MMO makers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
