Myself, I've played EQ for 2 years give or take. I will say this: It is one hell of an addicting game.
As to what will be the first MMORPG to topple EQ in terms of sheer player-base number?
Right now, I believe nothing will. That is only mentioning the other minor MMORPGS and the three primary contenders: SB, WoW and SW:G
SB is already out, did not exactly create a huge impact into the MMORPG world. Its not like 100K people moved to on out of one MMORPG to play SB.
SW:G has the best possibility, only because of fanbois and because its... well... Star Wars. AO turned out, at start, to be a -really- bad product. Those that flocked to it deserved to get ripped off. I -hope-, must be the love for EQ, that SW:G is an incomplete product at start as well, so all the fanbois and whatnot purchase the game on pre-order, and thus lose their money.
If an MMORPG wants to become #1 in terms of numbers (which is what we're talking about, not quality) it has to beat up EQ's bodyguards first: UO, DAOC, AC, and AO.
