Some of us genuinely love the game itself, and even playing it in all its boring grindy form. I know this is a foreign concept to younger gamers, WoW gamers, and many raiders who are more into strats, practice, racing, BiS and hanging out on discord than actually doing the boring parts of playing EQ, but its actually true for many of us.
There's a lot of people who just relish leveling different classes, races, combinations of both, etc. All the stuff you mention is secondary to actually enjoying Everquest. At the end of the day it sounds like you realized you didn't actually like playing Everquest that much after the novelty wore off and you had your epic level 60. Now you are here trying to figure out why anyone does this but you're looking at it the wrong way because you don't have that concept of actually liking this old game, warts and all, for what it is.

That's a good point. I have a group of friends I played with in high school start playing on p99 back when I was in the raid scene and the kind of stuff they would do in game would blow my mind (wait for the boat vs. port, level in some weird off the wall zones, make really dumb gear and build choices etc). It was kind of like watching that Michael's Shennanigans YouTuber who would just do goofy stuff instead of raid.
I know I enjoyed playing the game for a long time and have never loved another class like I did my bard, but once I saw behind the curtain on how the mechanics of the game work, doing that random stuff just wasn't as appealing to me.
