World of Warcraft really is an EverQuest copy/pasta.

What I never understood about wow that worked in EQ and it made no sense to me.

If I saw you running from across the zone in EQ, I knew who you were. Like "oh cool there goes hazenblat, his armor I recognize a mile away"

But in wow, a game with much higher quality graphics, I couldn't identify one person from another in my groups.

I never understood why this was the way it was to me.

I think a lot of this is because when you're playing WoW it feels like you're watching a group of characters / dots from a far, but when you're playing EQ it actually feels like you're actually in the game and up close and personal with the people around you.

Secondly your gear changes so rapidly in WoW that your outfit may change multiple times a day. And items also look identical on every race, meaning you have to zoom in or hold your mouse over people a lot of times to tell if they are a night elf or a human.

But also in OG WoW each faction only started with four races and eight classes. Not a lot of diversity compared to EQ.
