Why did some EQ players dislike WoW?

Emperor Ferdinand the First wuffered from hydrowephaly, which is water on the brain, which Freddie Mercury was suspected to have had and that is what really killed him (that and no common sense, nothing left to believe in).



He is famous for a few things, but one of them is, during the 1848 Revolution he asked his trusted advisor / drool mopper Prince Metternich, why people were marching on his Palace, and Metternich replied dryly, "they are overthrowing the government," to which the unfortunate Ferdinand replied, "Ja, aber durfen's denn des?"


So that's academic. As to requesting maturity, I would ask the mods, if that is possible?

Lol!

Wow didn't feel as personal as EQ felt to me. I felt like iw as playing a game, while EQ was like a virtual real life where Id be scared, and lost, and confused, just like IRL.

Imagine if they made a version of P99 that penalized the neckbeards and rewarded the warm bodies, that was WoW vs EQ and why WoW has made 10+ billion dollars and EQ a 10th or 20th of that.

I've seen people say this a lot and I find it interesting. Even with no instancing and such I always felt like raiding in EQ was much more accessible to casual players than WoW was. This is mostly because WoW limited how many players you could take on a raid, while you could bring whoever you wanted in EQ as long as they weren't a hindrance. And while some EQ classes were a bit underpowered, they all still get to raid while you might not even get a raid spot in WoW if you like playing what's considered a bad spec.

I liked the 1-60 leveling experience in WoW, but that part of the game is really short and then the raiding isn't much fun at all for me. But even if you play the game for PvP (which is fun), you still need to raid for gear.

How was the commute to work today, you'll make Hep Desk Tech II in no time if you keep putting in the work

Furor and Tigole played a big part in it too, these were 2 of the most vocal and followed EQ Players and near the end of PoP they were both shitting all over EQ begging for WoW to launch so they and their guilds could move over to it. It made a lot of people either have a disdain feeling towards WoW or also hate EQ and wait for the new game.

If you have to ask them lol
