At their core both games are very similar elf simulators (eg. you can be an elf druid who levels up killing orcs and doing quests in both). However, they come from very different eras, and thus have very different philosophies. For a long time WoW's success convinced everyone (including the people making EQ) that EQ was MMOG 1.0 and WoW was MMOG 2.0 ...
... but a lot of us have found that the "improvements" actually made things a lot worse. Your story is the perfect example of that, and it's why we all <3 P99 so much. Welcome.
