In EQ2, the players are more selective when forming group. Usually will stick to people they know only, especially when crawling dungeon since a single bad player will get a group wiped. The best option is to build your own group. To get group invite often you need to work on your reputation among players..:) If you talk like kids, brags, begs and greedy about loot, you can forget about ever getting group invite. Bear in mind, that the general population of EQ2 are more mature.
Fun is very personal thing. You might find it fun to play WoW but I don't. It all depends on what you consider fun. For me, I like to do quest without knowing what I will get before hand. So typically just fill up my quest books and run around to complete them. At the same time do some harvesting to make items, food/drink or spells. Also trying to push my char to solo everything...:) That might be boring to you but fun for me. Likewise what's fun for you in WoW is boring to me. My dream is to own a flying carpet in EQ2 one day..:)
