Nostalgia is a big factor for sure, but this game has a bunch of uniquely interesting mechanics and design elements, even if there's a long list of other things that desperately need to be updated. If you go in with a group of people who all collectively decide to actually experience the game, it can still be good. It's extremely difficult to find that and still won't be as great as it was back in the day, but a worthwhile experience nonetheless. I wish your friend had given it more of a chance!

Ditto. I found myself trying to not get offended because he was talking so much crap on the game. To me classic EQ has a really special place in my mind, and as much as I hate to admit it, the game has shaped who I am in real life.
I do however realize that the game certainly has its quirks and is highly unpolished. Back in 1999 there weren’t any other MMOs on the market, so people had to trudge through the bad game design elements of Everquest to see what was on the other side.
