Nope. Original EQ was about grouping and making friends . Venturing out and discovering unknown areas as an unbalanced class with heavy penalties along the way.. which forced you to socialize and partner up to tackle on mobs(PvE). If you like competition maybe you are playing the wrong game and/or server.

lmao, that may have been YOUR experience with classic EQ... however that wasn't everybodies. There were top guilds on live that would award DKP to anyone who could make a recruit guild quit via drill sergeant esque tactics. A quick google search will show you a hundred of old forum posts non-p99 related, mostly being nostalgic about guild drama/raid drama back in the day.
My guild on Live, a family guild who couldn't kill Vindi in Luclin, even had a Ally/Hated guild list on their 90s era guild board.
And to your point, a LARGE majority played the game you are describing... but that's mainly because we were all huge noobs. People barely got 20 fps back in the day, let alone knew where the fuck to go to hunt, min/max strategies. But, raiding was really for only the servers elite/highest playtime people. Sure, you may remember doing plane of hate raids in Velious, but how many of you had a piece of TOV gear in a casual guild in Velious? (I'd love to hear your story - but I doubt any of ya'll do unless something crazy happened and you won a /random) Fuck, I never even heard of Vulak until I started playing on p99.
Which brings the point back to what i've said a billion times on these forums. Raiding Tov in Velious was for hardcore players. Raiding VP in kunark was for the absolute hardest of harcore players, there were servers who didn't even have VP dragons dead until well into Velious. Just look at the wiki for veeshan's peak. It's a zone dedicated to the hardest of hardcore raiders. Which pretty much how top end raiding on this server has been represented since p99's inception, as it was back in live.
