Eve Online is as great as EQ was, just in a very different package... Sci-fi and PVP focused instead of fantasy and PVE focused, but the harshness and depth and breadth and social nature are all there.
Only downside to it imo is the world is generally empty as a world. The world itself is just the place where stuff happens 99% of the time instead of something worth experiencing in and of itself. Not that there isn't a lot happening or that it isn't fun stuff, but the whole "player-driven awesomenessssss" line the Eve devs love to throw around is as much an excuse for not developing PvE content as it is a true description of great player-driven shenanigans.
