WoW so followed EQ
 

Is it just me, or does the WoW releases remind you of EQ? I mean, look at the expansions, Burning Crusade had that desert look like Kunark. Frozen throne is like well, frozen Velious and now the latest expansion gives the whole world a new make over, new beast race the Worgen and I bet you some how they end up going to the moon. They even have a new city called "Vashj'ir", wtf?

EQ inspired all MMO's after. I dunno why you think its such a big deal.

Lol never really looked at it this way, kinda funny.


Thats the obvious, hes not stating that, hes saying how identical WoWs path is with EQs path. Not just "inspiring".

every modern mmorpg is basically EQ with social tools + maps + easy mode

I agree 50%, UO gets the other 50%

Hmm, I really hadn't noticed the pattern but their next expansion is "Shadows of Moo Kin" so it can't just be a coincidence.

old school UO dunks all over every MMORPG, backboard glass all over the place

Isn't EverQuest kind of based on Meridian59 in terms of game play style?

No, it's kind of D&D, regarding the classes.

Some of the people that created WoW were in a top EQ raid guild, so it is not that surprising.

I never really thought of Kunark as a desert expansion though, seemed like more jungles/ forests than anything.
