The introduction of horses was something I always figured they probably wanted to have at the original classic launch but it was just never ready or finished until luclin. Horses were a huge part of ultima online, and everquest definitely took certain development nods from UO being it's predecessor. Even stuff like the bazaar was pretty similar to UO's vendor system, which allowed you to sell things afk for set prices and collect the money later without any player interaction. And then the EQ franchise didn't even get around to player housing until EQ2, and it was that lame instanced dollhouse version that sucks.
