UO around t2a was amazing, but became progressively more "bluebie" with the success of EQ and lost a lot of the magic.
EQ in its day was amazing, even moreso if you got to the endgame content, and on another level on a pvp server. You dont know what power is in a game until you LITERALLY have the ability to single handedly ruin the nights of 50+ people. The gear gap between a random guy who got to level 60 and a guy with raid loot was so insane, you were borderline unkillable, even against groups of non-raiders.
I started playing again for a bit a few years ago and the nostalgia hit hard and pulled me in deep. It was comical that raid content that would destroy full raids of 50-100 people back in the day could be done solo now. (Although tbf, thats not much different in WoW, I could easily solo all of the non gimmicky old raid mobs with my DK in WoTLK.)
Wow was great up until Cata, then I stopped caring.
Man EQ was so good in it's own way. Also the gear thing was really only true for certain classes IMO. Classes like Paladins were just unkillable gods with gear. Relix was from my server if that rings a bell to you. I played a wizard and PVP was never going to be fun for me. Even on non-pvp servers things got crazy salty though. Killing KT was nearly impossible during prime raiding hours on my server without GM involvement and even then they let some crazy stuff go when it comes to training raids. I'm not proud of it at this point but I was rather notorious for blocking raid boss kills for a time. (TBH I was notorious for a lot of things >.<)
