The problem doesn't come from jealousy for many players. The only thing the subscriber base dictates is how much money the developers make which is also a deciding factor of how long the game will operate.
no ones mentioned Asherons Call 2. As a former player, i can safely say WoW took ALOT, and i mean... ALOTTTTT from that game.
Such as?
The user interface layout.
Ahhi see well this goes to prove my point that very little if anything that Blizzard has produced since warcraft 3 has any real origonality in it.
I wasn't the one making the original claim. The reason I listed the user interface layout is go spend some time in nearly any forum to hear the shit spewed over how the user interface looks like WoW and all praise be to it's holy name.

Heh i know what you mean. For many years ive been a fan of the Games Workshop franchise and to hear WoW fans say that there developing MMO is a rip off of WoW when in reality WoW was a partial ripoff of warhammer [tabletop] it just makes me tired.

EQ2 started out very original, had a EQOA + EQ mix feeling to it, I loved it. Over time they changed it to be ALOT more player friendly like WoW. Its still EQ2 and not a WoW clone. I can say this and I play WoW. People just need to grow up and not worry about the other games and just have fun with the game thier playing. Its not your 15 bucks a month so why trash other MMOs, People play all 3 of them, so that alone should tell you we all have different OPINIONS.
I can't comment on LOTRO - as I've never played it.
I agree with the posts saying that it gets picked on because its the most popular. It fails in the same way a lot of other MMOs do, including the ones you mentioned. I think it has a better pace than EQ2 and I thinks its more immersive than LOTRO. What gets people going even more is the kind of ignorance that you showed in you original post (concerning EQ2), no offense.

As long as its on top (most subscribers, most notoriety) this won't stop. Like Microsoft. Of course I'm sure people will continue to bad mouth it afterwards. Also there will be the fanbois that can't stand when WoW gets disrespect, as in other games. Until the perfect game comes out that everybody likes and everybody plays
hmm dont you guys remember what it looked like right when wow came out on these forums.... "wow vs (enter any game here and the original poster + every other poster [who registered within that week] will bash it and praise wow)"------well the only reason i play wow is because of my guild and right when AoC comes out were goin there. Also i did play EQ2 its a great game and far superrior than wow. though i dont have my old rig i have pentium 3 crap box right now and when AoC comes out its new rig time.
EQ2 was released a month before WoW. I really doubt WoW copied anything from EQ2 in that mean time. Besides WoW took aspects from EQ and improved upon it, WoW even thanks EQ in its credits. LOTRO and EQ2 and WoW all share very simaler gameplay. A blindman can see that.
They all share similar game play because they are cookie-cutter mmorpgs based off of the original EQ and Meridian 59.
Exactly so back to my original question, why is WoW the only mmo getting all the bashing.
If you think WoW is the only game getting bashed then you dont venture off the WoW forum much. EQ2 gets bashed by people playing WoW, Vanguard gets bashed by pretty much everyone, SWG gets bashed by people who are still pissed about what happened years ago, etc etc.
And to answer your first question, People bash WoW because they do not like WoW.
But EQ2 is very different, at least as much different a MMO's goes these days, and allthough eq2 has been "wowified" lately, at launch the difference was quite big.

I can bad mouth WOW because I don't like the graphics or the community. I like the community in both EQ2 and LotRO and the graphics in both of them.

I'll take something that is unoriginal and fun, over something original and boring
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
I'll take something that is unoriginal and fun, over something original and boring
My point still stands.

I agree, although that's not the purpose of this thread or relevance of the user interface debate that's brought up all too often.

No one asked - that's not the issue here.

I agree Lotro and WoW is very alike.
But EQ2 is very different, at least as much different a MMO's goes these days, and allthough eq2 has been "wowified" lately, at launch the difference was quite big.
