Wow, I'm broken now.

After trying EQ2, I am amazed. It's 20 times better than WoW.
However, I'm not deep into gameplay. Does it get better or worse? I'm very interested, and considering buying.

The kids. If you are insinuating I am an adolescent playing WoW, you would be mistaken. My World of Warcraft subscription ended last month and I am currently frequenting EVE Online. k?

You sure told him!
eq2 is fairly expensive to start, all teh expansions and al. But it is on par with WoW, the only difference is, eq2 has eq1 rep to deal with. And sony doesnt help. The illusion is eq is ahardcore raid game, but the truth is, it is the same as WoW interms of progressiona nd endgame.
I played eq2 until levle 50, and went to WoW, and just play WoW for now, mainly because i have eq2 is a little to expensive to go back to, and im waiitn gfor AoC.

The really sad thing is that, so far, it looks like all the new games are copying WoW. Which means that theres every chance that this will remain the best game out there.
It's not so new. I have 3 people in my guild from WoW. I meet people in the game all the time that tell of other things they have played and that they had left carebearland from boredom, etc. Their biggest complaint though seems to be the community. An analogy I heard one time, "Playing WoW after a while was like trying to drag myself out of bed every morning for a job I hate".
Yea sure EQ2 is sooo much better then WoW, prove it by gettibng a player base punks. You got nothing at all and it's because the game blows chunks.
If you have any questions please ask. I have moved on to WoW from eq and no longer have any desire to play a dead game. Thank you. (posted by another selling his account in EQ1)
Some of you carebear people like to just say the same thing over and over. 8 million, incredible. However it has been reported that 5.6 million of them are in China. So big deal. Out of the ones that are left, how many are second accounts or more. How many people play the game just because a friend does? Bandwagons. A kid would hang out in a flower shop, if all his friends happen to be there.
If you play what you want because that where you want to be and your better off. Most of these arguements come from just a kid being a keyboard commando, or someone who hasn't ever played EQ2, or not since its early days and doesn't have a frame of reference to base the game on.
It's amazing how many people say so much but mean so little.
We got the point a long time ago. But I suppose if I played a carebear, I'd need an ego boost once in a while too.
EQ2 has imho an awesome crafting system, you need to be alert when crafting pressing the right skill at the right moment, so it actually became fun to do, combat animations are also really nice, maybe a bit over the top for some, but personally I like them.
One of the flaws of EQ2 is the lack of variation in armor models, but the devs are aware of this and working on it.
The reason for me to start playing eq2 again is the more realistic enviroment + the game has housing + a really nice crafting system + a wider selection of races & classes.
I will never say EQ2 is better or worse than wow, just different games but both suited for the solo minded mmorpg player. (to put it simply wow is more simplistic and more polished while EQ2 has more dept and possibilities but because it is a more complex game it's not that polished like wow is)
Yes, they are different games, but ultimately they are the same. You kill stuff, you get stuff. You gather stuff, you make stuff. You interact with the world and your fellow players in both. The only major difference really are the seamless world in WoW (no zoning) and the completely different approaches to art direction for ingame graphics. Similar retail fees, similar monthly fees. In EQ2 you can play as a fairy now, so that's kind of innovative and interesting. There's two new races and some new content in WoW with TBC, so that's kind of interesting too.
Same fed ex quests. Same drop quests. Same annoying player base. Same annoying leveling system. Same, same, same. What EQ2 has over WoW? Graphics.. What WoW has over EQ2, a variety of play styles. What they both lack? Intrigue and customization. SURE, sure.. You can do this or that in either. Fact is they're both cut from the same cloth.
Just WoW has more personality and the maps are massive. EQ2 is a tad prettier but their animations are bland.
