When i bought EQ2 in February i hadn't even heard of WoW, so i bought EQ2, but instead of making EQ2 like WoW, or vicea versa, they should just each go in consecutive rounds of "1-upping" each other, i think SOE needs to make the game appeal to a larger crowd, also while not leaving the hardcore players who have been playing since "Day 1" in the dust. WoW is a spitting image of EQ1 in my opinion. Also when i think of the idea MMO i think of Everquest, But i give credit for Blizzard for turning an RTS game into a MMO game. Also i think that SOE does a better job manageing the game, EQ2 has had 17 updates and an Expansion, and WoW has had a measly 8 (last i checked) I played the WoW 10 day trial, for 2 days, and coulnd't log in 25% of the time due to full servers and thats not even close to all the lag i hear about, was sick of it, the graphics were stale, the plot was horrible, in my opinion the whole Warcraft plot is a little weird, if they have guns and tanks, and all that good stuff, why is the game stuck in the 1200's. (OK time to stop bashing WoW)
The point is i hear more and have expierenced more bad things about WoW then any other game i've played, Yet i hear nothing of EQ2 i belive if more people from WoW played EQ2 they would 50% switch, ive already "converted" 2 of my friends from WoW to EQ2 and they thank me.
Anyway getting off-topic again, when game company's for an MMO compete, the only people winning are the players.
-I hear bad things about WoW, and see it everywhere, and hear nothing of EQ2, more advertiseing(didn't blizzard put out a Coca-Cola commercial in China or something.)
