I quit around the time Velious came out, but those guys made EQ their life from 1999-2001. A year or so ago I read an old Reddit post that was a story from Furor recalling how during Kunark he helped a guild do a CR in one of the Planes with his 20 personal Staves of Forbidden Rites. Those guys were not "casual" in any sense of the word.
Casuals may have been the majority, but poopsockers have always been a part of EQ.

Sort of. It was mostly the case of them being so far ahead of everyone else. Sure, there were a couple other guilds close, but once Velious landed, I rarely saw them (as an officer of a lower tier raiding guild). That said, there was indeed the occasional run-in for a contested mob. But more often, I'd find my guild tangling with guilds that were nipping at the heels of FoH.
Alas, I do not think any of the Veeshan FoH alum still play p99 due to Agnarr in anticipation of Pantheon.
And as far as neckbearding, man, so many of us did exactly that!
