Velious was epic. To use a poker term, "the nutz". Things started to do down hill with Luclin and PoP.
I didn't mind AAs that much. But with Luclin and PoP, Everquest turned into Evereasy for me. Just got bored.
But no MMO since has come close to meeting EQ pre-Luclin IMHO (though I did enjoy Age of Conan for awhile). Aion wasn't bad either.

Only one other game I ever played had the same sort of feel that classic EQ had: Vanguard. That game was introduced early and was too buggy to make it. Itemization was also incomplete and clearly not hand tooled but script driven. If these flaws had not been present, that game, also started by Brad McQuaid and cohorts, would have been "EQ3" and done very well. But alas, SOE bought it and then slowly destroyed it. They fished a drowning butterfly out of a pond... and then they proceeded to pull off its legs and wings, one by one.
