Which is more likely...
A) you having played on every server during the first year so you know definitively that this was the case and you are not just projecting your own experience

Did you read the official EQ forums and other various forums and websites at the time? Did you read the evidence linked?
It seems you didn't and are only projecting your own limited experience. Fighting over NPC's was EVERYWHERE; it was not just a few servers at all. That was the classic 1999 EQ experience, if people wanted it to be. Again, it comes down to the players in the given sandbox. If you happened to mainly just encounter people who wanted to do no-competition camps, which yes many people did just want to play the game in more limited fashion, then you were in a bubble. EQ was never supposed to be limited to that, nor was that ever the rules as given by the game devs themselves in 1999.
UGH, I wish so badly that more archives from the time period existed. Not that more are even needed, since there's already direct statements from the Game Devs, of them saying that fighting over NPC's was allowed and they wanted a hands-off approach to it, and for the players to work it out.
