MQing was not known by most people during classic. There absolutely is evidence to back it up too, like all of the forum posts and quest/item writeups that existed. Not to mention those of us who played back then and have said it wasn't known.

Regarding EQ websites, people of course knew about the major ones, but most people weren't able to be on the internet at work, and then when they came home from work to play the game, they couldn't be on EQ and a website at the same time. EQ took up the entire screen back then and there was no way to switch to the desktop (not to mention the extra lag even if you could do both at the same time). People were mainly only visiting EQ websites when the game was down.

Guess your server experience was different. On both my play and CSR server people were MQing in early 2000 for instance. Not really sure why quest writeups mean MQs weren't happening, as I said before there are plenty of quest pages on Allakhazam where you can go into the comments and see people saying things like "just MQ this part" or something like that.

Again, the part about classic that people seem to forget is that your experience was largely dictated by the other people on your server.
