LOl no you didn't.

386 was old and burred in 1994.
Even if you still had 386 in 99, you wouldn't even be able to load the game.

I played on P-2 450 with 64RAM and 8MB Video and it was OKish but not great. When Kunark came out it couldn't handle it, so I didn't play Iksar or even went to Kunark zones until I got a new PC a year later.
The absolute MIN I managed to get the game going was my friend's Celeron 300 with 16 ram and 4M video.

Modem wise 36k or 56K US Robotics was the norms for pretty long time.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
