In classic I had a second account on the same computer. Why is that considered odd? Perhaps not as common as it would be today but it only took a second account and alt-tab

Did you play with WinEQ? Otherwise, you could not alt+tab.
This was actually a big deal that you could not alt+tab or play windowed during classic (without violating the EULA by using third party programs).
Edit: Patch introducing windowed mode.

EQ in a Window:
EverQuest can now be run in a window. To place EverQuest in a window, simply press Alt-Enter. You can also switch out of EverQuest to another program by using the familiar Alt-Tab. It is important that you do not do this until you are in-game, do not do this during the login process.
It is important to note a few things. Running the game in a window may reduce game performance a bit. And, as always, the more programs you have running at the same time the more resources they use.
At this time, due to some changes that need to be made on the front end, it is not possible to run two instances of EverQuest. We will be working to make the necessary changes over the next few weeks.

They later fixed it in April 2003 to allow windowed mode all the time, not just once in game.
