Personally I also loved the golden days, without having to start crap like Ventrillo, Teamspeak or Mumble to join a guild. I don't want to talk I want to write and play.
I give Wow credit for bringing up the benefits of an open world, but also a lot of misscredit for dumping down features like autostats, minimap, instances, ?! quest-design.
Stil stuck in the 1990s?
Talking is much much better for raid coordination and socialization. And i thought you claim you like to socialize.
The world is not going to turn back to the EQ lack of features. If you don't like it, you can quit playing MMORPGs. There are plenty of players anyway.
Cool. If that's how you want to play I don't have a problem with that but compared to EQ old school it looses skill. Let's face it EQ helped people learn to type which made them able to do more in the game. Like you said there's plenty of players and there's plenty that would like a game with the FEEL of old EQ. Keep your WOW and we'll move onto a game that does create that feel again. Thanks.
I really lol reading that. In this day and age, who does not know how to type and need a game to help them with it?
From what I've seen half the people in WOW. I can't remember how many times even trying to group people would ask to use Vent (app of choice I guess) in WOW because they couldn't type. Maybe it wasn't EQ's lack of voice or otherwise but I do think that the reliance on it these days has caused games to loose something. Again that's just my opinion.
I don't believe you. I have been playing WOW for almost 2 years, and know lots of people doing so. This just does not happen, or you are in a weird server.
I PUG heroics almost everyday and i PUG raids (the puggable ones, of course) regularly. 99% of these groups are done with TYPING. I have done vent with it may be like 3 times and even that is optional.
The only time vent is really "mandatory" is guild runs.
i started to use chat in wow ,when blizzard released wow-chat good luck getting your guild on that

Even my 10 year old can type-chat.

That's a good thing.
