Does EQ2 Have A Larger GameWorld Then World Of Warcraft?

Imperator101

I know Everquest 1 is Larger then WoW but its graphics are not so great but Im sure you could make it look fairly good if you max the settings on a high end gaming computer. EQ1 has more then 500 Zones, still I don't know if that over 500 figure includes all Dungeons/Instances.World of Warcraft has 90 zones including all the expansions but the game world is still bigger then Guild Wars 2 probably. If you include Dungeons/Raids in WoW then the total is 253. 

 

What about EQ2? How large is it? 

 

http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Zones_By_Level   It does not look like EQ2 has many zones, how is it bigger then WoW? I also heard there is player made content in EQ2 but does that include player made zones?

EQ2 Is simply vast, a lot bigger than WoW. But I would also say that a lot of these zones are redundant, you will never do them unless you are after shinnies and silly achievements.

Same applies to wow

Not redundant, if you chrono, or mentor to help friends etc. I m one of those silly people I guess.

its pretty big.. but ya... 90% of the zones are empty and redundant. EQ2 funnels you to endgame and repetitive grinding of a small amount of content. but ya, most of your time leveling up will be soloing with a henchman. Rarely do players group in dungeons, they pay for max level characters to mentor and AE run through dungeons which is the most boring thing I can imagine.

I tried EQ2 for 4 months and was lured in by the big world and number of dungeons.. but the gameplay was pretty poor and most of the time felt lonely. guess I was trying to relive the EQ feeling but honestly the game feels more like diablo2 or WoW than it does Everquest.

I enjoy EQ2 but i agree its a very different game than EQ1 - and more similar to WOW

EQ2 always felt smaller to me and not like a world at all because it's so instanced and zoned up. I haven't played WoW in years now though but Blizzard really ruined it with fast travel everywhere, killed the world feel.

I agree with you, EQ2 world feels smaller but as you pointed out it could be because EQ2 worlds are instance and WoW is seamless.
