A lot of stuff called 'quests' in mmorpg's nowadays shouldn't be, in my opinion. They are mostly just 'tasks'. run here, bring this, find these, kill that, now do it some more. Those aren't quests...quests are supposed to be something that is daunting and takes a long time and research and luck and staunch companions. Yknow, like in the movies. I like to think that the original EQ quests are more quest-like, and the zillions of teeny little 'quests' in WoW and I assume in EQII are more of the task variety.

I think the epics in EQ are still some of the best examples of actual quests worthy of the name you can find in any mmo.

Agreed.

WoW's version of epic quests are legendaries and are released one at a time, require consolidating all drops to a specific player, and are really nothing like EQ's epic quests.

Sure, lots of classes had bottleneck epics that required waiting in line within their guild, but in general people of different classes could all be working on and completing their epics at once.
