I was trying to explain that to my friend who I play Classic with. He always asks about EQ because he never played it. Like in EQ, the zones feel real. Mobs move all over the place, there's random events.
In WoW the world feels fake. There are hundreds of mobs everywhere, and you can just mount up and run through all of them without a care in the world. They don't really roam or wander, and just stand stationary in the same spot. It makes the world feel very inanimate and dead.
If you just tried to run through a bunch of hostile mobs on EQ, bad things would happen. You either die, or you train someone else.
