It is absolutely true that WoW literally buried the original EQ in subscribers because literally everyone could raid. Those of us that did make the cut in EQ called it "EQ Lite" for many of the same reasons you list.

I was in a small family guild on BB server, its true, unless you were in the three top guilds you didn't see anything. It's one of the reasons I wanted to come back to EQ, a second chance to see all I missed. Just recently got to see VP for the first time. WoW helped establish the idea of "if you buy the game and pay a sub fee, you should be able to raid." and this was backed up by the playerbase on messageboards "I bought the game I am entitled to see all of the content".
It didn't feel L33T/Uber in year 2000 terms.

This idea that raiding was ultra competitive on Everquest live during it's original release is complete fiction. What P99 has become may appeal to some, but it certainly isn't the game being played in any way like it was ever intended.

I can't really speak on that from experience. I only remember Ring of Valor and Arch Overseers (decent guild names) getting into some drama a few times.

Blue server
The only way to keep it L33T and tight like people remember is wiping the servers every 3-6 months. Release all three expansions at the same time and let the super dedicated get their server firsts, when most of us get 60 (because we are lame) then its time to wipe again, this will keep the L33T intact. I will not be playing because EQ requires that much time for a player like myself to get L33T, which defeats the purpose of L33T.
