MMORPG's... The Difference...

[Slayden]

Personally I am finding it very difficult to become interested in any of the newer MMO's- but they just don't seem to fit.

Now, I know many long for their newbie days for many, many reasons, partly being that thats when everything was new and fresh, and our addictions thrived.

Maybe its just because EQ was the first mmo that I ever experienced, for example, us older people believe ___ was the best music, and the beatles being great, while the newer kids think it sucks, and the music of their generation is the best music.

So my generation was EQ. There is something about the original EQ that draws me to it, and still does, so many things that i like about it so much more than any newer mmo up to date. The style, the graphics, the spells, the lore, the zones, the choices, the hunts, the creatures, the detail. I just can't put my finger on it all, but to me it was just, the perfect mmorpg.

I've been playing EQ2 for nearly a week, and i'm in the wow beta. Personally i'm finding wow a bit more enjoyable than EQ2, but aside from that, i'd much rather be running around norrath, taking down those hill giants with my soulfire and a few friends in rathe mountains, while waiting for that big plane of hate fear raid that was going to gather within the next few hours... And keeping an everwatchful eye out for those evil darks that may attempt to ambush us.

I guess its just me, i don't know, all i know is, i miss my EQ =/
