World of Warcraft is the true spiritual successor to EverQuest.

[Wakanda]

This may seem like an inflammatory thread, but that's not my intent. I frequently see EQ players debating over what the true spiritual successor to EQ was or will be. Vanguard, Pantheon, M&M. But to me it's super obvious that the true spiritual successor is WoW.

Classic WoW has more in common with EverQuest than it does modern WoW. WoW was heavily inspired by EverQuest, with some of the top devs being former EQ players themselves. If you had a time machine, and you wanted to show some kid in 1999 what MMOs would be like in 25 years, you would almost certainly show them World of Warcraft.

Do you agree or disagree?
