Ya, I tried to get my friends into it, they're not down. Ironically one of them plays Dark Ages--a game perhaps older with worse graphics and overall is like, kind of a step below (there's very limited gear in the game)--but he can't stand EQ.

DAoC was a while after EQ actually. It went (Meridian 59 etc.) -> Ultima Online -> EverQuest -> DAoC

The first person aspect bothers some people (and with limited/poor 3rd person view support), the graphics, the incredibly simple combat system, etc. There's actually a lot to not like about the game.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about EQ? The 3rd person view is the same as any other MMO, plus it has 1st person if you mouse wheel in (though the melee bobbing makes it tough to deal with during combat).

But for me, it's the item system, the world...no one ever really built a world that felt as alive as Norrath. I like that the game isn't instanced (not yet), and that there aren't necessarily "bosses" in the game, just rare spawns. I don't like looking at rare enemies as bosses because developers tend to make them very ... linear. LGuk has a lot of rare mobs, they all have their own rooms, and they all drop cool shit. The fact that the game's better loot revolves primarily around rare spawns and not instanced dungeons (and that almost all gear is able to be traded with no level requirement) is what makes the game fun for me.

Lots of bosses in EQ, but they are raid bosses. For single/group play, the nameds are awesome I agree
