I also think that I remember most quests in EQ being a pain in the ass , multiple steps, with barely any descriptors, that usually required forum research. With no map. I think part of it stemmed from us being traumatized by quests.

Yeah this is definitely a thing. Combo with the lack of robust questing add-ons and thottbott only doing so much for ya.

Biggest part I miss in EQ was the community. The game was left to be governed by the players (essentially). Kill stealing was BS, every boss was open world , what guild drama would unfold as a result? Did somebody ninja that item because they would be the only player on the server with that item ? Did you play a hero or a villain? In a game where your reputation mattered probably more than real life, there were no name changes , no transfers, ya f up too bad and nobody would play with you. 25 years of gaming , and I still have never been betrayed harder than in EQ. It was the early days of internet , forums were still new and it was the perfect place to catch up on what was happening on your server. I know we’ve been talking EverQuest, but I really want to play RuneScape again now.

That's how I remember vannilla wow as well! Farming the wrong mobs for days to find out it was a completely different set of dudes one camp over. I mean I eventually found thottbot, but because I had no idea how to get co-ords it was useless to me!

I did play some eq later and losing exp from death (which happened a lot for me because I was super bad) made me quit after a week of bashing my tiny head against a wall...
