Ohyeah, and mobs that require more than casual facerolling to defeat. Can't forget that.

Modern day PvE is for pussies: WoW killed open world exploration with mounts and flight paths.
Open world PvP is a thing of the past: WAR gave it their all, but in the end BG's won out.
Mirakka82 summed up the risk factor pretty well. Other games have harder raid content in terms of scripting, but no game punishes your inability to evaluate risk or think ahead like EQ does.
Returning to EQ classic has really brought to light how complacent modern day MMOs has made players in general. Stupid, avoidable deaths are rampant. No one notices when another player is getting trounced by a mob right in front of them. Camps aren't respected. No one thinks twice about managing their own threat while in a group, etc.
P99 is everything right with what EQ was. Meanwhile, everything right with EQ was watered down and smashed into baby food by modern MMOs.
