The OP assumes that EQ is all about gathering pixels and "winning". If this is the case, I 100% agree with you. Modern MMOs have much more depth to their combat systems, raiding targets, etc.

But I don't agree with the premise. EQ isn't about those things. What makes EQ great is that the system lends itself to socialization.

I make more "friends" and have more interaction in one night of EQ grouping then I do in a year of most new MMOs. I mean that literally.

when actualy raid world become more and more complex u usaly needed o sociaalmor have charisma to keep together a bunch of psychos lusting for pixels and often(as was my case ) because a feud with other guidl(from other server nothing less).


But u forgot aswell how much cry was in everquest there was always alot of QQ btw different class and balance, i still remember how pissed where clerics when deepwater helm use begin to be very popular for downtime group healing , ( and they lobbied to get it nerfed and their own arms in the same time).
