I would guess that the reason for this phenomenon on EQ has less to do with proper differentiation of races than the general lack of RP in the game. If somehow a fully worked out race with loads of background and unique features happened to make its way into the game, everyone would probably treat it pretty much like they treat all the other races. They wouldn't CARE if it came from another planet or lived in caves and ate slugs or something, they'd just go ok whatever, when can I kill stuff?
