So the game sucked cause zones were not blunt square boxes with no land features what so ever like West Karana?

actually, the Karanas are one of the reasons I love EQ so much; while people who actually enjoy those zones is a minority. It makes the world seem realistic and vast in that it should mostly be empty space; and the first trip across antonica is one that most of us remember. It made finding the ogre shaman camp actually feel like you found something and want to tell your friends, and go check out. Theme park style of new mmo's killed this feeling for me.

other than that, risk/reward/thinking outside the box/rate of progress is why i like eq>everything else.

also, i loved playing original EQ when like everlore was the place to get info, and it was half false (i really used to believe in the lake rathe monster) and therefore you had to just figure it out yourself, nowadays there is a guide for everything.
