As an old EQer,I just could never make myself like WoW.I did try it,and it seemed everything to do was trivial.I personally did’nt like a lot of the chat,i’m guessing teenagers etc, or really immature adults,and there’s no worse thing in the world than to get a good group and your tank says “my mom says i have to go eat now”,/shrug.(actually happened)
I’m still in a high end raiding guild in eq1,and have recently given EQ 2 a shot,i love it,and if not for the people i’ve been playing EQ 1 with for seven years still playing i’m not sure i’d ever sign back in.I have,so far leveled a cleric to 42,completely solo and have a warden to 27.It does’nt take that long to level and at the same time not everything feels “trivial”.If folks have’nt tried EQ 2 and could never quite get into WoW,i’d highly recomend trying it.Just my 2 copper=).

I believe WOW has the numbers because EVERYONE has tried it and come to the realization, you can feel better, things happen faster, and are easier through it. Leveling is easier than I’ll get out, and the game has BASIC functions that are user friendly. I’ve seen 10 year olds with epic 70’s, it doesn’t take skill to be what you want. I mean sure it takes more to get into high end, but since the WOTLK patches, it has gone to easy. I hit my third 70 cause my character is stuck in transfer for pre WOTLK and the day of hitting 70 I ran Kara (which used to take all blue and 1/4 epic gear) and Zul Aman (used to be not even full epics could run this) The grinding for rep isnt there anymore, and ANYONE can play the game, if my girlfriend sat down for ten minutes she could be up to speed…

I need help im still scared of SOE because of what they did to starwars Galaxies i was hardcore into that game untill the day they had the combat “upgrade” So basically is Ever quest 2 worth playing because my best friend that i have been playing online games with for 8 years is quiting wow to play it. So if anyone has any thoughts about Ever quest 2 or any reason i should join my bud and play it or somethign like that my Email is misterpibb897@msn.com please email me i really want to know about this game

I must be odd in that I never could get into WoW. It was mainly the people there.. I think I could have just been unlucky but trying to get a competent group on WoW was like herding monkeys. I never once found a group where people didn’t repeatedly do stupid things and get us wiped out. On EQ2 I can find a competent group or even a kick ass raid party with minimal effort.

i agree mostly, i played everquest and everquest 2 and trash talked WoW in eq2 almost every day. then when i saw more people were playing WoW i thought id try it. when i started playing for the first day i found out that i hate just doing quest after quest.. i need people to interact with at 2 in the morning to keep me going.. yall feel where im coming from?
