Played EQ from Beta 2 to a few years ago, 6 years as a bard and a couple as a beastlord. Really loved the game Pre-pop, got so tired of back flagging guild members post-pop. We were one of the top 3 raiding guilds on our server and raided nightly. Loved the teamwork required.
Now people just seem to solo until they need something, then toss 72 people at a boss until dead, which is why I dislike WoW so much.
