People refer to Everquest as Neverquest since there are remarkably fewer quests than other MMPORGS. In reality the quests in WoW are not a challenge. Its always the same
Kill X of Y <insert enemy>
Get 3 Lion Blood
Escort X NPC to <place> (shudder)
They are mostly time sinks to create the false illusion of not camping a certain area.
The lore of WoW is amazing, the world looks more "alive" i guess. BUt it cant replace the great social part of EQ.
