Haha.. The thing that cracks me up about you WoW Fanbois is how you praise the game, but never actually say WHY the game is going to be good.
All you see is "WoW PWNS!!! I like blizzrd!" "WoW is much better yup yup yup"

I wasn't interested in either one really until my bf mentioned it and then got obessessed with it. Using his natural charm and l33t speaking skills and having answered all my questions with favourable results, I too found myself eagerly awaiting new news about WOW and its release date.
WOW obssession it seems, is quite contagious to us gamers who know what makes a great game.
Which is more than I can say about EQ2! It is totally a been there done that kinda game. Bland and boring.

So apparently "you gamers who know what makes a great game" all believe that all it takes to make a great game is that Blizzard made it? Cause thats all I hear from 90% of the WoW fans is "Blizzard is making it and they've never made a bad game, so WoW will pwn all!" or some such crap.

*LONG POST*
You want some things that make a great game....
Enviroment-you know the players around you and how they all act..and how nice and supportive everyone around you is......I eman some games everyone is talking crap to someone and someone thinks there better then this person and that person and how some people tlak ot to no no matter what. and how some people only talk to high level people because they think lower level people are nothing but newbs and are just gonna beg.
Gameplay-This is how the game is handled....like some games have awsome game play...i personally liked the EQ gameplay and the DAoC and FFXi game play....and how the spell screens were and the backpacks and everything so i think all of these games were pretty well made...
Graphics-you know your saying how all you hear is people saying o WoW will be good only because Blizz made it...well you know what I hear from almost EVERY one waiting for EQ2...OMG EQ2 WILL BE THE BEST BECAUSE THE GRAPHICS WILL BLOW EVERYONE AWAY......SCREW THE GRAPHICS......its not only the grahpics that make a game......so seriosuly...whats ot say that EQ2 wonlt be like its creator...EQ....I mean I hear complains from peopel saying in EQ all you do is strive to get the best armor...well whats saying EQ 2 won't be the same....what becasue you HEARD that there will be tons of quest....so there are tons in many games doesn't make them good....
Storyline-I'm not to sure of the EQ2 storyline except the fact that there are 2 Warring cities...qeynos and freeport.3.....well in WoW it is set years into the future after WC3 and they are continuing from that.If they say they have a storyline and it sticks to it from what you see and have doen then it should be good but at the samne time it should be a good and complex story line
PVP-I am not a fan of PVP I mean I like it but i don't look for it in a mmo because to me its not the pvp that makes it a great game....its cool but to me its jsut a test of strentghed....I mean wow I can beat someone in a fight o boy i am the man
Costumer service-Blizzard and SoE both have a great costumer service but some games seem to have a bad CS...i mean from what i hear HZ has a bad CS but that doesn't really make or break a game in my world...so i will leave that to you...
Well this is all I have to say...but seriously....just look at the past EQ expansions from SoE alot of peopel say they suck ecause SoE took over and well lets see.....EQ2 will be made by guess who...SoE...so just think about it...
and don't get me wrong i am a fan of EQ but i would rather wait for WoW at this point

Yup, sounds like a perfectly good reason to me! Blizzard ownz!! WOW will pwn all!
It might have something to do with the fact that WOW takes place in the same world as Warcraft III, a world which I might add has an incredible amount of depth and story. And since Warcraft III was a great game, and every Blizzard game is a great game, I like those odds!
Therefore, I have come to the natural conclusion that WOW will pwn all! Particularly EQ2!

U assume much, any gamer knows what makes a good game, it doesn't matter who the developer is. I am not a blizzard fan-girl. I am a nintendo, squaresoft, anime fan-girl, but not a blizzard one. I like WOW for legitimate reasons.No right-minded fool forsakes truth for falsehood

^^So youre comparing an RTS to an MMORPG? BAHAHAHAHAH... hahahaha... haha. ha. Youre right WOW will probably blow your mind because it sounds like it doesnt take much.

You know, had you ever actually played WCIII you might have realized that the game had a number of RPG elements that in my opinion were pulled off very well. And I didn't compare WOW to WCIII, I said it takes place in the same world, which it does, that's not a comparison, that's an obvious fact, one which your simple closed mind for some reason wasn't able to realize, but that's a discussion for another day.
And anyone who's played WCIII knows that it has a great storyline and that Blizzard has put a lot of work into the history and depth of the world, and that this is one of the things about WOW that will make it a great game. And this is also an area where EQ2 can never hope to compete.

I take Uilwen's side on this...just shut ur damn mouth and give up...cuz uve lost. I mean there are RPG elements in WCIII...the Heroes gain levels, and that doesnt happen in hardcore RTS games....only in RPG/RTS hybrids, which is exactly what WCIII is.

the only little kid here is you...thinking your someone or something special....
dude a RTS can very easily become a MMORPg why do you think the peopl whoa re beta testing WoW are very happy with it so far...and thats in a beta testing state.....
see its hard for a MMO to become a RTS....thats why Lords of EQ sucked horribly.......
but see look at it this way......Blizz has not made a bad game yet.....for 1......they have a huge rep and not for just 1 game.....so far in beta and all sorts of testing people have been very happy........and atleqast blizz is staying traditional with the graphics and stuff man....
so take your arrogant newbie posts else where buddy.......
And what makes you so sure you'll get the beta.....o yeah thats right your just cocky and arrogant and think your the man......
If you don't like WoW then stay the hell out of the WoW forums buddy....as simple as that

LOL youre lost bro. He did compare the two, even though he said he didnt. All these people who think D2 and WCIII are RPG's and MMORPG's are just lost. Just because they make good games doesnt mean they know how to make MMORPGS. And half the people hes arguing with are WoW fans anyway, like me. EQ2 will still be better though.

Ram your just an idiot.....D2 is a RPG you idiot....and in a sense it is a mmorpg.......I never said it was i said it is in a sense.........
and he said WC3 in a SENSE is RPGish with the whole hero thing....heros level gain skills and use them in battle...and some units even have skills so in a senseit is rpgish.....

OMG D2 is an action game, and NOT an MMORPG by any standards. Online and MMO's are not the same. Who lets these people in here, seriously. Go back to the WoW homepage with the rest of the fanbois.
Edit: Personal attacks are a good way to get banned btw, best watch your step.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... just a sec let me reclaim my composure ..... hahahahahahahahahahah .... srry again ... just one more sec ...... hahahahahahahahahaha .. okay now i'm done. D2, which i assume is short for diablo 2 (correct me if i'm wrong). So you said that D2 could be considered an MMORPG.....hahahahahaha seriously man ........ i fell srry for you... lol
Oh by the way, how do i know that i'm getting into beta? It was a promotional thing they did with lords of everquest. If you registered it with your everquest file before a certain date, and did some other stuff which i forgot, then you get an invatation to the EQ2 beta. So yes i will get in, and then i will come back and tell you it is great and awsome.

ok let me rephrase this then its a MMO not a MMORPG....and for one i never said it was that I said in a sense you could consider that...and bob that whole Lords of EQ thing is stupid I couldn't figure it out I bought LoEQ 2 and I didn't see anyhting anywhere that said enter the beta now.....
and oyu know I have no beef with EQ2 because i am a huge EQ fan but seriosuly people are jus tbeing stupid about the whole thing.......always talking about the graphics.....
so seriosuly I am not trying to fight with you guys....I apologize for all the comments I have made......but I mean you know bob I am with you on the fact if icould beta EQ 2 I would probably come here and say it is good too but same time i would do same thign for WoW....I eman I have given fact in other post on why WoW will be good......so if you dfon't mind give me a bunch of hard facts and lets stop this hardcore argueing......

Yes...i know...change is hard, and some people are too scared to do it. But in the end change MUST happen. Those who resist change will be doomed to repeat the mistakes of our past.
How is Everquest 2 not staying traditional.....do you really think a new mmorpg coming out will dare to have original eq graphics, i say not...wait a minute...i forgot WoW. (yes i know they are going for a different style, but still you have to admit it looks like the original evequest graphics) Everquest 2 has improved, and if improvement means its not traditional, then i'm afraid i don't want improvement anymore. Think about what you say before you say it, it will make you seem less......unknowing.
I'm wondering, how can an RTS easily become an MMORPG, and how can't an MMORPG become a RTS. You also mentioned that WCIII was like an RPG......um....NO, simple as that. Diablo 2, well...just read my post before this one. lol....lol......
