Why did some EverQuest players dislike WoW when it came out
Honestly, most didn't. WoW was extremely popular among EQ players.

How did WoW affect EQ’s playerbase?
It decimated it.

SOE had stopped publishing population numbers by that point (very likely because they knew how embarrassing they would be), but ... let me put it this way. WoW came out in November 2004, and just a few months later 18 servers closed.

So WoW destoryed EQ's population, but to be fair it wasn't all WoW's fault: SOE shot themselves in the foot with the EQ 2 release also.
