EQ is for the top 1% dedicated raid players. To be the top 1% dedicated raid guild in classic EQ you had to have numbers and poopsock spawns.

Wow is still a changeling game it's just not unforgiving all the time like EQ was.

It may very well be for a certain 1% segment of the MMO players, but it isn't the "top" 1%, just a very ornery 1%. EQ had a lot more appeal for the cybor whores and trade skillers than it did the raiders. There were a lot more of those long after the raiders left to play other games.
A certain segment of players stick to all games. If you wanted to play a really hard game you would have stuck with Ultima Online. That was like playing everquest but with a level cap of like 10, where a couple of hits from anything would always kill you, and when a player jumped you they could loot everything you own, and sometimes steal your whole house if you were dumb and had a teleport rune on you.
