Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today (www.pcgamer.com)

Agreed. Which is why I think EQ is the best of the old mmos because the world, quests, combat, adventure, etc, have a bit more depth and challenge to them, and the game is still slow enough where socializing is a thing. The game was designed to be that way. There is a lot of down time involved between waiting for mobs to respawn, so there was a lot of opportunity to chat with your group/guild mates.

RuneScape is all essentially the same thing, but feels watered down.

Hey, I'll take every oldschool MMO friend - doesn't matter if we come from different tribes.
