The biggest appeal to me of EQ was exploiting. But that was pretty much the only appeal. EQ classes were -incredibly simplistic- and for a long time combat in EQ was about as stupidly simple as you could get.
Yes, but at that time simple was infinitely more complex because to the average gamer of that time all this shit was brand spankin new. Unless they played muds for years, but those were few between. So while the whole tank, healer, dps, pulling, kiting etc is painfully obvious today it was not back then.
