True Sadre, yet nothing in life worth having comes easy, otherwise it's not cherished.

I'll try to understand, but I have a feeling I have a long road ahead of me.

Thanks.

I loved WoW.

I remember thinking back then "WTF happened to EQ?? Someone got drunk and redesigned all the character models and zones. It's not even the same game."

I still think that today.

Lich King was peak wow raiding. After that things went downhill

Wow was basically inarguably a better game. Like 90% of people switched. The only holdouts were that it was slightly cartoony and hand-holdy

*parts of wow are better especially when the difficulty is actually tuned up

Not true at all when wow dropped. EQ shot themselves in the foot and the overall end effect may have resulted in 90% leaving to wow...but it had nothing to do with wow being a "better game" and that period of time took 2 years to occur.

I saw all the systems blatantly stolen from EQ and the game was frankly boring. Run tl;dr quests for a week to max level? That's absolute hell to me. I actually enjoy exp grinding, so Lineage II was a way better fit for me. Multiplayer Diablo PK / castle siege game with a grind from hell and 4% exp loss on death, so getting PKed actually hurt.
