WoW so followed EQ

[Overcast]

When everyone uses the same spec - is there a point of 'specs' existing?

Yet, you care so much about how someone else played their character. Why? Who cares if it was better? Sounds like he raped with his spec.

No I cared about the fact he was ignorant about how to play his class. It's like rolling an Enchanter in EQ and never using it to CC anything because he didn't know Enchanters could CC.

The inherent flaw in the spec system is.... the spec system.

^ This is exactly why i tried to identify I was not flaming. I know nothing of this game, I really, again, was commenting on the spec system.

I think one of the things I really liked about AC was not that everyone used the same spec but that because you were able to choose your spec you could create much different characters by combining spec's in different ways.

Like in AC, there were four schools of magic, War, Item, Creature and Life and every mage used all four and pretty much every melee used three. The question was, how do you spec them and what other skills do you take?

Some Mages, specialized in War and Life and only trained Creature and Item. These were basically the DPS mages. Then there were others who would specialize in Creature and Magic Resist, so they could resist other mages and debuff their opponents into oblivion.

Proof that even WoW devs admit that WoW would have never come to be if it wasn't for Everquest.

I agree 50%, UO gets the other 50%

A friend who played UO for years once told me everything EQ did, and everything every other MMO did afterwards and advertised as "novel", UO had done in some form - and often better. "Lord British" may have been eccentric, but he was also a brilliant designer in his time.

Not taking anything away from EQ. It built upon what went before though.

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?

Lots of WoW devs were avid EQ players (and many of them were in Legacy of Steel)
