My first PC game was WoW. I didn't know how to use keyboards back then, and so, I was killed by boars 5 minutes into the game.
Fun times.

I'm old, so my first MMO was Everquest. I only did "hunt-and-peck" style typing using my index fingers prior to this. Within a month I was a skilled typist out of necessity.
Everquest also taught me that I have to keep very clear of WoW because I realize that if I ever started chasing that dragon, I'd wind up homeless.

This was the state of many RPGs to level up at that time, MMO or not. The more interesting quests or difficult ones came along when you had more kit to use. Though that said, most of WoW's initial quests available for a while were like that. In BC you started to get bombing runs, more point A to B path finding quests, etc.
So only every 25. boar has a liver there?
Nah, you just keep instinctively stabbing them in the liver to kill them.

Bruh this reminds me of when I played The Mana World
That game was all about the end-game. Questing up to max level was like the intro and could be done very fast with a good guide. The only good thing about leveling was getting used to new skills at a slow rate, otherwise it was kind of pointless and just something you'd quickly get out of the way.
Never got into the and game. The levelling is the fun part.
Different strokes for different folks, and catering to multiple playstyle is what made it so popular.
Ah. End-game was many things. But my fav parts was PvP and huge raids. Fun social nights of really challenging stuff with a group of friends you'll never meet irl 😍
