I would imagine diffing the original eqstr_us.txt off the original EverQuest CD against the current one would be instructive too. I'm sure there is an iso floating around somewhere..
Classic clients did not utilize a Strings file. Most things were hardcoded in the client or sent directly from the server in full plain text.

As the game expanded in other languages it became necessary to create the strings file for each one, and it also helped cut down on bandwidth.
