Why did some EQ players dislike WoW?

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

EQ1 basically died mid 2000's.


Fan Faires are dominated by eq2 players, guilds, and content. In Atlanta in 2006 fan faire, there was one table that held the eq1 players during the main dinner.



The key to understand WoW is that it was both new and comfort food. Everyone had played Warcraft. Wow's success was nearly automatic.



People loyal to the eq brand moved to eq2. I can' remember anyone missing eq1 after they moved on. It was not yet this "thing" that people are still attached to even though it is long since over. I cannot figure such people out. Let it go!



Anyone who is still posting about original everquest in 2022 is insane.
