Speaking as someone who rolled on the racial PvP server the day it was launched, the main appeal was that it was a brand new experience. Most of us never thought about how janky EverQuest PvP was because there was nothing to compare it to at the time. It was in a class of its own. Verant was writing the rule book in real time.
It's hard for a lot of us to go back to classic EQ PvP when we've experienced PvP in newer MMOs that have perfected the formula over the last 20 years.

Makes sense. Also, when EQ launched ultima online was it's only existing competitor, which was both popular and infamous for it's pvp. I remember being tempted to roll on one of the original EQ red servers because I was coming from UO and loved it's pvp, but I rolled on Povar instead cause at least you could still opt-in with the whole priest of discord thing (fast forward 20 years and noooooobody actually goes red for real on a blue server). Just a different time and place.
