A lot of people don’t remember this but instances are classic.

People camped kunark dungeons well after instancing became a thing, so I'm sure many people remember instanced kunark dungeons. That doesn't mean it was a thing during actual kunark, because it wasn't. LDoN was the official introduction of instancing and I didn't even play then, but I remember reading about it. EQ2 had instancing out of the gate in 2004, and it was lame, and it might be coloring your memory if you played EQ2 at all.

Instancing sucks, it's part of why WoW feels so bad. Another thing about WoW (I logged in last week for the first time in months), there's pretty much no incentive or reward for exploration. Every time I'm playing EverQuest I'm wandering around trying to find a camp that's open, or check on a rare spawn. None of this really exists in WoW -- I never care what's happening in the next zone over, or wonder what's on the other side of that mountain because none of it matters, and even if you do acquire a decent amount of money, it still feels useless..... what are you going to spend it on, transmogs?
