Thumbs down WoW so followed EQ
Is it just me, or does the WoW releases remind you of EQ? I mean, look at the expansions, Burning Crusade had that desert look like Kunark. Frozen throne is like well, frozen Velious and now the latest expansion gives the whole world a new make over, new beast race the Worgen and I bet you some how they end up going to the moon. They even have a new city called "Vashj'ir", wtf?

Thats the obvious, hes not stating that, hes saying how identical WoWs path is with EQs path. Not just "inspiring".

Hmm, I really hadn't noticed the pattern but their next expansion is "Shadows of Moo Kin" so it can't just be a coincidence.

Isn't EverQuest kind of based on Meridian59 in terms of game play style?

No, it's kind of D&D, regarding the classes.

Some of the people that created WoW were in a top EQ raid guild, so it is not that surprising.

I never really thought of Kunark as a desert expansion though, seemed like more jungles/ forests than anything.
