Well, what I noticed from going back to live is a lot of content was tailored specifically for one time one place. When I went to live during the Underfoot expansion everyone was rusting at the top and the content for about 40 levels was geared for full groups of raid geared twinks. They never readjusted the content from when it was cap. This was a major turn-off as a returning player. I made it to cap so I could finally group, but by the time I got there the taste was so ashen that I soon after quit.
As far as where EQ went wrong, I cannot say. I was 29 at the time and the travelling bug bit me and I moved to New Orleans and RL was too interesting.
