I remember playing EQ2 more or less at launch, starting out on a boat with no class and slowly (over the course of 20 levels) gaining the class-defining features for my swashbuckler.

I remember betraying Freeport, coming face to face with Lucan D'Lere and being executed as a traitor. I remember waking up in the Commonlands and having to make my way to Qeynos while still KoS to the guards. I remember the 1,000 gnolls I had to kill to earn my ring of citizenship and the right to a house in the city, the right to train beyond 19th level.

And I remember coming back years later to a game which I did not recognise...

Not to mention making your way through Nektulos at L11/12, unable to simply hug a zone wall like you can in EQ ^^. I loved the betrayal quests, they were epic. I checked back in a few years later and was disappointed to find those quests and the associated factions had been removed =/
