Some notable ones are in the Plane Of Sky, namely, on each island in the zone you have to kill the {{Mooks}} to get PlotCoupons, then kill the boss and give said items to Sirran The Lunatic (your "guide", for lack of a better word).

** Back in the days near launch, it got ''dark'' at night, and in caves as well. For races without inherent infravision or ultravision, you needed buffs of the same name to see. At some point, SOE decided that night blindness didn't add anything to the game and brightened everything up. Infravision and Ultravision spells still exist, but are novelties at best instead of borderline-necessary buffs.

*ChokePointGeography: You have to pass through Blackburrow to get from Qeynos to Halas. Back in the really old days this was a pretty big hassle. Although the path only went through the upper level of Blackburrow, there was a chance that either a grizzly bear or a named gnoll with a level in the high teens[[note]]the upper level of Blackburrow is designed for player no higher than level 10, and even the toughest sections of Blackburrow are scaled for players level 15 and below[[/note]] would spawn and wander around killing people until a benevolent high level player killed it. For that matter, the tunnel leading to Blackburrow on the Everfrost side was an absolute bear back then too - without some form of infravision, it was easy to get lost in the dark and torn apart by lower level gnolls while you couldn't see well enough to run away from them.

* FrigidWaterIsHarmless: The snow-filled Barbarian city of Halas is separated from Everfrost Peaks by a lake. The only way to get into or out of the city is to cross the lake. There is a raft that automatically sends players back and forth, but most players just choose to jump in and start swimming in the glacial water instead of waiting for the delay in the raft. Barbarian characters in particular start off almost completely naked save for a kilt (and matching top for women), yet suffer no ill effects from diving right in.

Once races from Norrath came to Luclin some Akhevan learned their languages as well. However, some of the [[TheFundamentalist more extreme Akhevans such as Aten Ha Ra]] considered this blasphemy and a huge civil war started, resulting in the "No other languages" faction summoning a giant storm to destroy the other side's city and leave it in ruins.

* ResurrectionDeathLoop: Dozekar the Cursed in the Temple of Veeshan. Draconic law states that a dragon must never mate with another dragon of a directly opposing element, because the resulting offspring will be both extremely powerful and completely mentally unstable. Dozekar, a fire element dragon, mated with an Ice element dragon, and their resulting offspring was the prismatic dragon Kerafyrm. Kerafyrm would eventually try to wage war against the dragons and needed divine intervention from the dragons' goddess, Veeshan herself just to put him to sleep. Being Kerafyrm's father, Dozekar was cursed to spend the rest of existence being killed and then resurrected by draconic priests over and over again. Adding Insult to Injury, he is cursed to die to lesser mortal beings and adventurers, which Dragons consider to be pretty degrading.

** [[TheMedic The Healer]]: Clerics, Shamans and Druids all have healing spells, although the Cleric is the most purely healing oriented. They're all Classic Healers too.
** Melee DPS: Rogues dual-weild and backstab. Monks and Shadowknights to a lesser extent can perform melee DPS as well.
** Ranged DPS: Rangers utilize bows and arrows. Then there are the various caster classes. Wizards are pure elemental DPS, Mages use elemental pets, and Necromancers use [=DoTs=]. Druids have some elemental DPS potential as well.
** The Petmaster: Beastlords have one single pet and their abilities are all linked to said pet.
** Crowd Control: Everquest pioneered this adventurer role, and Enchanters are the class that excells at it, although bards can do it a bit, and necromancers can do it well but only on undead monsters.
** Buffer: The main role of Bards nowadays, although Clerics Shamans and Druids also have buffs. Necromancers have one single and surprisingly useful buff called Dead Man Floating.
** Debuffer: Although most classes have some debuffs, the Shaman is the best 'slower' in the game and can cast the widest variety of debuffs.
** Jack of all Trades: Historically this was what Bards were supposed to be. However, years of mudflation have hobbled their ability to perform most of their roles, leaving them as pullers and buffers.
