It's the immersion. When you logged onto Everquest in 1999 and walked outside of your starting city, you would often have no idea where you were. Actually, lots of times, you wouldn't even be sure where you are inside your starting city. It created uncertainty, fear, and adventure. Even after you learned a certain area, it was easy to become disoriented. Especially at night. You felt like you were truly living IN an epic fantasy world.
