Nostalgia and the social element missing in other MMOs.

This was it for me. EQ was my first graphical MMO, and it has burned some synapses in my brain that cause all other MMOs to be... fun, but rarely for long, and never have that same feel.

DAoC came really close and I still have very fond memories of playing it, but nothing was EQ for me but EQ.

The social aspect for me, i would hop on wow use the dungeon finder do it and be back in my home town without so much as having to talk to people to advance and progress in the game. lvl 1-85 and didn't know anyone, you can say its my fault but there are no people doing dungeons they all use the dungeon finder which uses people from all servers and chances are you will never see them again.

here you see the same people leveling up in the same spots you get to know them. Ill hop on eq just to chat to see what people are doing, I used to hop on wow and just stand their because i didn't want to group with a bunch of randoms and standing around the AH i didn't recognize anyone, just a faceless game.
