Raising the lvl cap past 50+ is what ruined EQ

Personally speaking, power creep via gear is what put me off.
Well that, and other MMOs coming out with an emphasis on PvP =)


There was still so much content to explore, yet the devs kept bringing us to new places to experience it.

IMO if they would have added levels/content for the 50+ crowd in Antonica while leaving gear for lower levels alone I would still be playing to this day.
