What would it take for a new mmo to recapture the feeling of eq?

So it all comes down to some intangible feeling you get when playing....hmmmm


There are people who feel this way about WoW, UO, DAoC and about a lot of other games. Put EQ down on paper and its a pretty unremarkable time sink.

For me I think it's special because the world feels realistic and doesn't feel like a game. It's challenging and I feel like an explorer and there's a strong community. To this day I still tell non eq friends when I talk about the game the time I was in dalnir and some other group went to 3rd floor and lost their corpses and we tried to bail them out... long story but interesting. I think these types of things were just fun and a different experience that I haven't been able to find in other games. When I play eq it just hits the right spot.

edit: btw I forgot to add the dalnir experience happened here probably a year ago [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], feels like a longer time than it was. That just proves my point though lol. I'm still making new memories on project 1999 and it's just an extension of my experience.
