DAOC plays like what it is: an Everquest derivative made at a fraction of the budget (less depth to the world), where the end-game is focused on faction Player vs player battles (8 vs 8 in particular, for their version of high-end) instead of multi-group player-vs-environment content like EQ. It HAS PvE content, and a fair amount of it, but that isn't likely to hold a player long-term if said player is accustomed to EQ. The PvP zones are separate from the leveling zones, so folks who want to level in peace can do so, however once in the PvP zones it's very much open-world. It's an older game, without a great deal of the hand-holding which characterizes newer games. Folks bored with P99 but who prefer something broadly similar might be well-served to give it a look.

DAoC was a big step back from EQ PvE wise, kind of on par with FFXI. It was really much more about PvP and in combat it was basically in between EQ and WoW. Casters were similar in design to EQ, albeit far more streamlined (ala WoW). It had more abilities for melee, but were heavily position based and without any of the polish of WoW (or even that of EQ). Lot of clunkiness to landing attacks and getting them to execute properly (no stafing using special attacks).
The coolest thing about DAoC for me was the idea early on of competing for content in a zone called Darkness Falls. Fighting for mobs and dungeons was the best thing about EQ, and it made DAoC much more interesting. Unfortunately they gave up on the idea and gave each realm their own dungeons up to and included end game, basically leaving frontiers for progression grinding via pvp levels called realm ranks. it all felt pretty generic to me, but there's the 411 for anyone who didn't play it
