They may have more than twice that much now. However, in vanilla EQ2 (ie. after launch), which the post you replied to references, it didn't.

In fact, gear variety was one of the things that people complained about for a while in that game. I remember being pretty underwhelmed by it when I played as well. Several high end armor sets were literally reused models from a lower level set - not even re-skinned in some cases. People complained of being a level 50 character looking like a level 10.

Their armor was also not nearly as well detailed as FFXIV's nor was it nearly as modular.
