Most servers had a single top guild gobbling up most content and occasionally a lesser tier guild killing random stuff they could find up and that was it.

I played on 3 servers too, Tarew Marr, Vallon Zek, and Tunare. None of them fit your description in the slightest. Though p99's 'competition' is unique, thats part of what makes it fun.

EQ was more popular and had more subs in a time when raids were instanced than they did during the era when they weren't. .

I remember TMO, order of redemption and realm of ages I think it was? I was a newb though, didn't really raid till later. Later on I remember like severed and some other guild, maybe night of vengeance or defenders of Akanon.

Subscription numbers would rise to over 500,000 active accounts four years after release in 2003.[3] By the end of 2004 the title's lifetime sales exceeded 3 million copies worldwide[68] and reached an active subscriber peak of 550,000.

When did instanced raids start? It was after I quit.

Still, 500k during LoY/LDoN (which was basically still PoP era) is pretty impressive.

People are doing mental gymnastics in this thread. If EQ had more subscribers during expansions that had instanced raiding... that is contributed to a meriad of different things such as, Computer/internet availability (It was pretty niche to have a computer good enough to run EQ in 1999-2001) and overall online gaming popularity.

Not because the raid zones were fucking instances dude. Like what are we even talking about????? 98% of everquest players back in the day hardly raided, let alone to the poop sock level of it mattering if the zones were instanced or not.

Can we get back on topic?

Trakanon should be a DPS race.

Real raids weren't instanced until GoD, anyway. Game sucked by then.
