1. Distrust of EQEmu servers. Putting time into a game run by private owners who aren't accountable to anyone (not saying it's a bad thing, but as a paying customer you have a bit more weight and reason to complain when stupid things happen)
2. Distrust of going to the pirate lagoon to attain a copy of EQ Titanium. Extreme computer illiterness (making this a word if it's not) and wariness of Trojans/viruses. Call it old grandma complex. Won't open any file cause they all have viruses that steal your identity.
3. Boxing. It's fun. I was boxing on the TAK Project earlier today. I feel I'm able to get a lot more involved in playing when I'm responsible for not only charming, CCing, healing and pulling at the same time. Makes playing a cleric more tolerable as I can tab to my Druid or enchanter and do things there. Especially on raids.
4. Content/Expansions. Luclin/PoP are some of the most well liked/successful expansions EQ had. They balanced so many aspects of the game. AAs brought viability to many classes on raids that lacked it for awhile. It gave purpose to exping once you are max level, instead of encouraging alt #27363. Then there's the raid mechanics; Shei in AR, Emperor in Ssra, EP Gods, PoTime, and several PoP flag raids like Rallos, LMM, Agnarr, Bertox, MB - These events were far more entertaining and engaging than Classic-Velious raid content. Tradeskills became useful in Luclin/PoP. Etc. PoP confirmed best expansion for a large chunk of the EQ population. Knowing it won't be here is a big deterrent for many. Nuke red and make P2002 that goes to PoP. You'd see 2000+ server size I thinks.
