Personally I like EQ2's idea of having overland zones as solo only and dungeons (open or instanced) as group content. It gives a nice divide to the player and keeps things simple. Plus it means the solo content can be more friendly and the group content more challenging. Yeah, trains were no doubt the cause of a lot of frustrating.

Trains along with XP loss from death, grinding mobs for XP, and forced grouping were all reasons I burned out on EQ and moved on to DAoC. I think the last straw for me was losing a level in the forests west of Freeport because I was repeatedly getting killed by the griffon that wandered there as I kept trying to loot my corpse. Of course, I'm as a gamer, I'm interested in experiencing content not over coming challenges. I don’t miss trains at all.

A lot of groups would try to stay as close to the zone lines just for that reason. It was .... well, it was a memory, not sure if it's good or bad ;) Used to happen all the time in FFXI as well.

Maybe they changed it after a few years because I don't remember it being so bad later on but initially I remember getting lost constantly. For example, that tunnel in between Surefall Glade and Qeynos Glade was impossible to navigate!
