EQ vs WoW

[Bardp1999]

EQ is not better at anything WoW does other than "being more time consuming and unforgiving". If WoW was camp-oriented, grindy, less forgiving, and not a theme park of bull shit quests it would be superior to EQ in every conceivable way.

The problem is normal people cant play a game like P99 so WoW catered to the masses (as they should have) - what they needed was a hard core server that acted more like EQ or UOs Seige Perilous for the real hardcore guys.
