WoW = Everquest for Dummies :lamo
EverQuest is ****
If you said LOL or D&D maybe you would have had a shot :shrug:

He has a point in that Everquest is far and away a more difficult, challenging game than WoW ever will be and a much deeper gameplay. EQ raiding is more than just tactics, it's also very strategic, which adds an extra layer of challenge. The only MMO I know of which is more difficult than EQ would probably be EVE maybe.
WoW took EQ's basic gameplay, and made it easier and more aimed for a younger, less patient audience. This does not make either game better than the other, but it does show that he makes a fair point.
I dunno. I played EQ some, EQ2 a lot, and WoW a ****load. I certainly didn't think EQ2 (which I played more) was any more difficult at all. A *tad* more difficult to solo, but then so was WoW back in the day. Granted, I didn't raid in EQ2 because I don't like raiding. But just soloing around? EQ2 wasn't any more difficult at all. Now, crafting is MUCH more involved. (or at least it was) But I wouldn't say it was more difficult, just more time consuming.
What made me switch to WoW from EQ2 was a new expansion that I bought for EQ2 that crashed my laptop all the time. The game became unplayable, so I switched to WoW.
meh, I tried WoW, just couldn't get past the cartoonish graphics and all the 11 year olds running around screaming "frodo lives FTW"

I just like the graphics of EQ2 better than WoW, that and there are way less 10-12 y/o tards running around the place. Back before WoW came out, on EQ you were constantly being harrassed by retards begging for free crap and $$. WoW came out and within a month or so all that stopped as the kiddies migrated over to WoW.
I'll agree with EVE, that is difficult but not EQ.
I recall WOW before it got dumbed down for the casual in the new patch especially raid wise where only 10 is necessary in some cases, where coordinating a raid with 40 people was hard
one person... Just one person out that 40 is all it took to have a really ****ty night. But, it was also kinda fun at times.
Yup. Seen a few of those kindleroy jenkins!!!!!
any of you rooky n00bs want to step up to the big league...I am on the EQ2 lucan d'lere server several nights a week. lvl 90 conjurer "Juwl" :lamo
Yup. Seen a few of those kindAnd, I've *been* that kind on occasion myself. (God knows I've wiped a raid or two - but at least I learn from my mistakes! LOL)
LOL I might reinstall EQ2. I still have a free SOE account for all of their games.
what OS do you have on your laptop? I have the crappy Vista and I have found that if I start the game by doing a right click and selelcting "run as administrator" I don't get any of the crashes that I used to have.
Vista. But the crashes happened with my old laptop. My new laptop is not a gaming laptop though, so it might not be able to handle EQ2 at all. I have a hard time playing Dragon Age on it.

I don't know if they addressed this in FF XIV, I'm trying to remain MMO free.
my son just started playing FF XIV and his biggest complaint so far is the lack of mobs. there simply isn't enough stuff to kill. he said that at one point there were more players on than there were mobs.
That sounds like EQ1 back in the day, when you could walk all through LGuk and never see a mob as the way too many groups kept everything clear.
