World of Warcraft really is an EverQuest copy/pasta.
I've been playing WoW for over 20 years and am currently logged into it right now, so I'm not just being a hater. But I'm in the portal room in Stormwind, and thinking about how similar it is to the Plane of Knowledge. Except the Plane of Knowledge was exciting and a huge novelty. With WoW the fast travel mostly feels irrelevant or pointless. I only noticed it because I was going to a previous expansion to unlock a transmog for my new alt.
But my point is, it really feels like there was no original ideas with WoW. They are even getting to the point where EQ did around the time most of us quit, IE. churning out faster and faster expansion packs for $$$.
My girlfriend legit confused when I told her the new expansion is coming out in months, not years, because she's used to earlier WoW where an expansion could last years, not a year'ish.
