i preffer WoW above EQ2, i've played EQ2 and moved on to WoW, because a few things:
1. WoW isnt from SOE, so there isnt going to be ******* up, look what they did to SWG, and now to EQ2, you need a super pc to run the game in full graphics..
2. I can play WoW without a credit card, just by paying through the bank, if i do that with EQ2, my account gets banned, because those ******** at SOE cant get their stuff together.
3. Patching doesnt take 24hrs, and the server (where i am on) doesnt become laggy or buggy etc.
4. WoW isnt from SOE!!!!
so dont tell me that SOE delivers a "better" game, i guess you never played WoW to lvl 60, because it looks child like in the beginning.
THe crafting system is complex, ok not as complex as EQ2, where if you want to make 1 thing you need to make 10 or 20 other items, to make the one item. The players are friendlier on the wow servers than i've EVER saw on EQ2.
I can go on forever that wow is better game wise than EQ2, graphic wise it could be better, true, but for a fact, look how many players WoW has and how many players EQ2 has..
