I know, and not only that but they are still producing expansions for it. I have to hand it to them with their handling of EQ. Unlike EQII, Vanguard, SWG, they did right by the EQ community.

  In MMO terms every year is special since the number of failed MMO's far outweighs the number of successes, EQ may never make it to the big 10, just like many that never make it to the big 5, every MMO has rather large celebrations on their day of release, since there may never be another one. The public are fickle one day their favorite game is their most hated game, and MMOs that suffer that fate on a grand scale have to finish.
