The only "hard" part about EQ raids was that mobs had obscene amount of hp compared to players dps. Specially during Luclin era when disparity was exceptional huge. We had 42 people at Seru raid - it took us 47 minutes (our GL timed) with perfectly tuned mechanics to kill him. It wasn't hard - it was tedious. Half of the raid was a sleep, another half was telling dirty jokes just to keep themselves entertained. If we would wiped, it would only because of loss of concentration over such ridiculous period of time. It wasn't a test of skill at all, more like test of attrition.
EQ maybe "hard" but WoW raids are a lot more fun.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
