Back in the day..

If you pulled a pack with out CC you died

If you tried to pull a pack with out a puller you died.

You needed a buffer/debuffer in the group or you died.
I was just thinking about this when I came across this post. I played EQ from the 3rd day it went live and for 8 more years. Played EQ2 for about 5-6 years. Played other games off and on (WOW, LOTR, some others) but none for very long. And I definitely feel like there is something missing from today's games, including FFXIV. Perhaps it is the lack of skills needed, the repetitive nature of so many quests and dungeons, the overall "vanilla" feel. I dunno, but there is for sure something missing. One thing that EQ had that no game has ever matched was the feeling of "we are in this together" - guilds actually mattered, and were not just some place to plant a garden or toss some statue into.
