Going along with the history of EQ - it is also important to know there were 2 or 3 dozens of D&D games on PCs from the early 70s on. This does not include other roleplaying video games. EQ is not the first MMO either. You had Meridian 59, Ultima Online and MUDs (multi user dungeons - which were text based) prior to those.
There are many RPGs that predate, or grew on outside of D&Ds influence. Everquest is just Highly influenced by D&D and did more so than previous MMOs/MUDs (the mud statement may not be entirely true, Im just going off of my knowledge).
