I convinced a buddy to give it a try. The dated graphics seemed to cause him to lose interest more than anything else. Admittedly, EQ's outdoor areas might be described as ho-hum relative to what can be found in some newer games.
I wouldn't expect the learning curve to be much of a problem. The newbie zones on P1999 have maps available, and EQ's actual mechanics are extremely simple--EQ's difficulty stems not from its mechanics, but from the way it hits the player like a hammer when the player makes a mistake.
