I think XI was a lot more hardcore than WoW ever was, but yeah, WoW didn't have any of the quest tracking we take for granted in this game. No object highlights, no map markers, no nothing. You needed an addon for that. The quests were written to give you some idea where to go and you went and looked around until you found what you needed. There were uninstanced dungeons too, areas with limited access that were filled with elite NPCs that you didn't want to touch without a group or severely overleveling the content. I loved that stuff. Really helped the world feel real and immersive to not have everything revolve around my character.
