When, PoK, Bazar and AAs were added - the EQ was growing from 400k subscribers to 600k for yet another 2 years and 3 expansions - hows that possibly qualifies as a downfall???
eq was too hard core for the majority of people that played it.
Except there was no alternative to it for a long time, so people kept playing it.
When EQ2 and WoW came out, the majority of players (and potential player) have clearly shown that they prefer the casual gaming, rather than hard-core group/raid oriented gameplay. So they left.
Those who still like the hard core- they still playing to this day.

That sums me up. My best times in EQ were single groups - crawling through LGuk or Sol B. I put up with 3am finishes in Hate, Fear, Sebilis for as long as I could but eventually, one afternoon in TOV after my guild had been killing wyverns and dragons for 15 straight hours I just threw in the towel. Gave away my cleric on the spot and that was that. (For 4 months until I bought the game again and came back as a druid).
