What Expansion Did You Quit Live?

GoD was really a raiding expansion, and was considered to be extremely tough even for people who had mostly time gear. Most guilds on Live didn't even beat GoD until the level cap was raised in OoW - and still most struggled. You had to basically be time geared to beat the group mission to get flagged for the 1st raid zone, and most people just weren't that geared up.

From a raider standpoint, GoD had some tough, but very good raiding scripts, OoW did also - however add WoW, all the other games being much easier to play, the terrible storyline EQ tried (another dimension), and everything else that was going wrong with EQ, you could tell it was going downhill - plus a server merger is never a good sign.

I played from early Kunark until Secrets of Faydwer, retired, came back, beat Seeds of Destruction, retired for good. Honestly I only stayed because of the friends I had in my guild, I use to hate the direction the game went.

I have always felt that Luclin was the start of the decline, especially since Velious was probably the best - imo, especially from a raiding standpoint.
