Example: back in the early days of WoW, raids were loaded with hunters because they all thought it was one of the top dps classes. Gotta get that legendary bow cause look at that dps!!! Fast forward to all the emu servers and then wow classic where it was like 90% warriors topping the meters and like 1 hunter per raid team. The game itself didn't change, people's knowledge did.

This is a very poor example that in reality makes the opposite point, because launch-era WoW was a very, very different game than the 1.12-based emulators and 2019 "classic." That game changed greatly. Didn't stop the 19'ers from convincing themselves otherwise though.
Similar issue on P99, you can very much see the difference between the folks who played original EQ and the players who either only played P99 or were little kids during the original era and consequently don't remember it very well.
