Most of the consensus I get from players in game say PoP killed it for them. I found PoP to be one of the better expansions. Gave people a reason to EXP while max level. The raiding was great. I loved the encounters. And the progression, nothing felt better than your guild entering the PoTime for the first time. The accomplishment, the rewards to come. Was a great feeling.
There are a lot of things SoE has done to EQ I didn't approve of. But in the end I kept on playing it. I think I quit after the Seeds of Destruction expansion finally. Went a long way with it. Had a lot of fun. To me it was more about the relationships built playing the game. I was in one solid guild for many many years. And I didn't want to leave the game simply because of them. I think the people that were in great guilds (not just successful) found ways to enjoy the game even in it's later stages.
But alas one day I woke up, most of the original crew was gone. Seen pieces of gear with over 1k hp/mana on them and said...this is getting out of hand lol
