World of Warcraft is a theme park. You go around, and you hop on rides. You do what the game tells you to do. There is no other options.EVE is a playground. You can do whatever you want. There are no rides, no lines.
In World of Warcraft, you are strictly limited to following the path Blizzard wants you to follow. You can list the activities a normal player does on one hand.
In EVE, you are free. This cannot be stated enough.
The other big difference is the death penalty. The only thing in which there is any remote freedom in WoW is the PvP, and since there's no death penalty, there's no point in doing it. You don't get loot from kills or anything.

When I play a game like EVE it has a different feel to it compared to a game like WoW. When I play wow I cant shake the feeling that it was made to just sell as many copies as they could, really the only reason I see why WoW is so popular is because it bares the name warcraft and blizzard. Seriously would anyone give a shit about this game if it wasnt? There is nothing special about the game nor is it innovative. I mean the GFX are just sad, like I mean I could do better with Maya and I dont even know much about the prog, and this lame excuse that they want even people with lesser comps to be able to enjoy the game is just dumb. Why dont they have two options then? One for lesser comps and one for higher end comps, DAoC did it. Blizzard died for me the day WC3 was released, I remember I pre ordered that crap and was sooo pumped for it, man was I ever disappointed. Today it seems like blizzard only cares about pumping out garbage and making tons of money off ignorant little kids. lol am I the only one that hates blizzard now?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
WOW = Checkers
EVE = Chess
Support Bacteria, its the only culture some people have.
I'm tromatised by the death penalty in EVE even while not Pvping ! Maybe I should try WoW !
Just joking, I never have, I never will
