Vulak is a particularly good example because in original EQ Vulak was such a wuss the encounter had to be taken out of the game completely once word got out, and he wasn't put back in until such a time as the encounter could be modified to add a semblance of difficulty. The main barrier to high-end progression in the original game was that mode of gameplay wasn't the type of draw it is on P99, most players never raided at all or very seldom, with that minority being spread out between a bunch of servers, and exceedingly few guilds could produce the kind of stable roster needed to progress at that level.
