Everquest is the best and would win any day. You can play WoW with your eyes closed and hit 70 within a few days, its aload of crap. Do the same on EQ and have your arse handed to you on a plate at lvl 3!!

Hands down my vote goes to EQ 1.
Many of you have just proclaimed WoW is a better game just because of your loyal nature to the game you play. As some one who played EQ before PoK came out, I was really entreeged by the difficault and level of play everquest was able to put out. Dieing was just dieing it ment LOOSING hella exp if that ever so handy rez wasnt around. The dedicated player that I was I really couldnt afford the time of being in a intense raiding guild it just required to much time and effort. I truely loved the game for its difficault nature. Soloing was great with a HUGE risk of dieing and a chance of taking all the reward depending on the mob. I suppose its like gambling, it always gave me a good rush. Starting in eq as a newb with know money or any kind of starting budget was sure a pain, but you where able to start making solid money after your skills and levels increased. There was nothing better then Twinking the shit out of a toon, which has become all most impossible in eq2 and wow. I Tried playing wow, and found it incredable easy, things where just handed to me. I found it truely to be a much less serious game then EQ, due to the eye candy graphics and easy nature behind the game. The fact of the matter is people that played Eq think wow is to easy, and wow players cant get into Eq because its so diffcault and a much slower game to become good at. So people that began with Eq stay fans for Eq and fans of Wow stay fans of wow. Both games are good, but for me i like a bit of a challange. you just need to find what suites you the best.

All you have to ask yourself: 8 months down the road, which one would I be more sick of playing?

I’ve played WoW and EQ2 When they both came out. Storyline, I must say, goes to WoW. Illidan, Arthas, all of it - it’s just great. But gameplay, and funderfulness? EQ2 all the way! I’ve played a warrior up to 70, and every other class to 50-63… and am just sick of it. But EQ2? There are so many classes, so many things to do… you can’t ever get bored of it!

WoW vs EQ(2) = SAME!
WoW is a game you play with friends that can pick it up 2 seconds after it’s downloaded. Everquest 2… more of a game you go into on your own, or with 2 or 3 dedicated friends. But let’s not look at the past, what about the future? WoW and EQ2 are not the future… DIABLO 3 baby! W000T!

EQ - Depths of Darkhollow 70 End Game Cleric
WoW - Sunwell Patch 70 End Game Enhancement Shaman

Both games have catered to the vast differences in players. EQ got easier, WoW raid bosses got harder. The huge difference between the two: EQ takes 54 guys to kill an end game raid boss, minus the newer expansions. WoW takes 25. Both games have copies each other. My hat is off to both. I can’t pick between the two. For nostalgia, I’ll go with EQ. Splitpaw is still one of my favs. Instances changed mmo’s in a big way. Back in the day, big guilds had to compete with other big guilds to kill something. Because there was only the one live boss on the server. Naggy is up? Oh shit, run quick or so and so might get him. Both games cater to the casual now, and have different gameplay. I’ve wiped on twins a million times in wow, and i’ve wiped on Mayong a millions times. Give em both respect.

I’m going to say WoW over EQ1 and EQ2.
I’ve played all 3, including Star Wars Galaxies, Planet Side, and DAoC.

EQ1 - I’ve played up to lvl 70 on a Rogue and lvl 65 on a Shaman in a very high end raiding guild and then switched to WoW full time shortly after its release.

EQ2 - I havent played that high - maybe up to lvl 20 and didnt really have any motivation or interest to go beyond and play anymore.

WoW is great because its the first game I could get my RL friends to play online with me. They would try EQ1 or EQ2 or other games and just found it either difficult or not that fun after awhile. WoW allows users on Macs to play with users on PCs - thats cool when some of my friends use Macs only and they couldnt play EQ with me.

Lore & Role Play goes to EQ1 - way easier to get involved into the story line and role playing because you dont have everybody running around saying ‘wtf’ or ‘omg’ all the time. WoW has a lot of FPS gamers playing it and the developers include that type of lingo in their NPC Talk ‘Goblins saying “Keep it Real’ and ‘Wasssupp’.

Difficulty and a challenge - goes to EQ1 - You can’t do everything solo - if you want good gear, you will need to group and if you want epic gear - you will need to raid.

Mature players - EQ1 - This obvious - Older game, older players. You also are forced to conversate and get to know people as their is more downtime in EQ.

Easy to play & fun right from the beginning- WoW - As soon as you start playing wow - its just 10 times easier than EQ2. And its a hundred times easier than EQ1.

Casual Play goes to WoW - You can accomplish a lot in just a short amount of time - doesnt matter if you are solo or with groups.

Least Frustration - WoW - You can die and it sure you have to run back to your corpse, but its usually 1 min or so away and all you lose is some gold later when you pay to repair. And we all know how easy gold comes in WoW.

Quests - WoW slightly over EQ2. WoW makes it questing easy and enjoyable with nice rewards in money, exp, and rewards.

PvP - I never pvp’d much in EQ1 or EQ2, but I think WoW has this one with its world pvp, battle grounds, and Arena matches. All which help to earning gear as well as having fun killing the other faction.

Graphics and Visuals - Goes to EQ2. Its just a much prettier and realistic environment. WoW is cool with its cartoon feel and its actually pretty easy on even low end systems. But EQ2 has better graphics. EQ1 has improved its graphics a lot - but its still older and therefor doesnt look as pretty (but thats not why people play EQ1 )

It seems alot of people are voting for WoW, But there is no real reason why WoW is better then EQ. Just that WoW would own EQ blah blah. I think there is a bunch of younger people that play WoW and to them graphics is all EYE CANDY. But EQ has been around for much longer im are talking about years. EQ is a great game and really advanced and it takes some brains to play it. One wrong move in EQ could whipe out your group or your raid. Its gonna take WoW years to catch up to eq and even when they do catch up eq will be years ahead of them(Bigger world more items etc.). Still all these mmo game you play most of there ideas came from EQ. So you take your pick go play with the kiddies with nice graphics or play a real good game that has been around for years. The only reason why EQ doesnt have EQ2 or WoW graphics is for the simple reason that EQ1 has a bigger world and more advanced. Now if they give EQ1 the same graphics as EQ2 and WoW then EQ2 wont sell

EQ1 would win over WoW by a longshot, Everquest is much more difficult to level and Gear in. It takes longer to get high status in EQ1. If you can touch 70 in 2 days on wow but it takes almost a month+ for alot of people to get to even 65+ gives the person alot more time to learn and practice and their over all ability to play their class is raised.

Everquest end game players would eat WoW End game players for breakfast.

EQ1
75 Beastlord
70 Necromancer
WoW
70 Hunter (retired)
