Eq feels more natural and not like your in a video game. I like the feel of naturally wondering mobs running through forests or open fields. Most modern MMOs have the same mobs in little groups everywhere that all have HP bars and names above their head, saying its level. It just doesn't feel as natural as eq can be. I like the mystery of not knowing what level the mob is or exactly its hit points unless targeted etc. Makes it more of a challenge and the mob your fighting doesn't look like a cartoon with damage numbers coming off its head and health bars everywhere just making everything feel like a video game and not a natural surrounding. I do agree a game that is more challenging and forces you to ask questions or seek help from others is much more fun them a game that walks you through one story line and holding your hand the whole way.
