Call me a new kid on the block, but I like the newer graphics of EQ2. I really cant say a whole lot of nice things about WoW, as I dont like there cartoonish style models. I have a nice computer that can handle games like EQ2 at full tilt and I love it. The shading, lighting, particle effects, mapping ect.. its all just great to have as it makes it feel better.
But Im not all about graphics. The biggest thing that got me on EQ2 was all the new features. Guild Manangment, the new UI, combat system ect.. When I think of EQ, I think of how I used to just click Attack and watch, get the xp, and move on. I couldnt do quest all that much because I didnt want to have to sit down and write down what I was doing, and where I was going next. Newer MMO have the quest log, a way to help you along on your questing.
I guess I am a new kid and not a old schooler, but I spent many many sleepless nights with EQ, and no game has ever deprived me of a life more. I still like to kick back and play EQ when I am in that old mood, but I find myself burnt out on it no matter how long I go with a break.
Ahh sigh....
