How did they get this game so right?

Because they were trying to make a fantasy world. Every other game that came after was just trying to make a game. But they didn't fail. They were trying to get people to play, not create a good fantasy world. By those metrics they succeeded far beyond everquest.

it's a good point. Every other game has to in some way, some how balance everything so choices dont really matter much in the end. Even the expansions of EQ past Velious did this. For example, choosing a barbarian warrior gave you shitty vision, no regen and no FSI. Not to mention you had no ability to solo at later levels.

Some classes and some races are simply better, and sometimes we choose a race/class combo in this EQ experience not because they are the best, but because we like them the most.
