As crazy as this might sound one of the hardest decisions I ever made in 2007 was finally leaving EQ. The game was changing and the guild I was in was slowly dying off due to player attrition and not being able to raid. We were in Gates of Discord progression I think. Tried a few MMOs after that.
Neverwinter
Dark Age of Camelot
Final Fantasy Online
World of Warcraft
Vanguard SoH
None came close to EQ and from 2008 till now I only have my Hunter in WoW but only played for the battlegrounds. My original EQ Magelo is still online after all of these years haha

Note the last update shows 2007!
On the Pantheon forums I posted and asked that the devs make a good enough MMO I can play for about the next 20 or 30 years into old age. Tired of jumping between MMORPGs that constantly change and rebuilding characters in different games and trashing all the hard work. Keep P99 up for 20+ years I'd probably stay.
