WB Malimus,
Classic EQ is fun to play precisely because it is difficult to master, and mistakes are costly. Things like not having an in-game map or quest log forces a player to do research and remember things - or 'gasp', ask someone for help. Each class has abilities that others can benefit from when fighting together, or just traveling which makes people want to form teams and interact. The minimalist approach to auctioning also adds another layer of personal interaction between PCs.
When Sony killed these things by adding Bots to bind, port, and auction (in a sense, a PC became a Bot in the Bizarre), they killed much of the difficulty and human interaction that makes the game interesting.
