Like it or not, pre expansion Warcraft is probably going to be as close a successor to EQ as there will ever be.
- Classes mimicked EQ classes, by and large, with a little more flexibility.
- Community was excellent before cross-server BGs were instituted.
- One generally had to work to get decent gear
- The raid game wasn't insanely easy like it is now.
- in depth lore, questing, storyline.
The largest differences I think were the lack of a need to group for general level advancement and removal of any death penalty to speak of.
