Spreading rumors and false information just to get other people on the server to try stupid stuff.
All while Brad talked about the vision and took drugs.
The new game is equally nuts. Wizards with 13000 hit points. The entire game balanced on items alone. All the original treadmills replaced with clicking or grinding to get to the new treadmills.
The magic of the original EQ was not in the game world or the graphics. It was with the people that came to play it.

well said.
I want to add huge arse and totaly empty zones like WK, and a 30min LINE just to get into a group in orc camp in EC or goblin basement in HH
On top of that continiuous bullshit from Brad and then from SOE that "feature X will NEVER be implemented cuase it horibly violates game vision and gameplay balance!", only to have 6 month later :"look what WE come up with!"
yeah EQ1 SUCKED and still sucks. the only reason we played it cuase it was first and the only. And of course - its the people who make the mmorpg.
