Better still, invite them over, put EQ on, and let them watch you play (since they have previously played WOW) so that they can decide if EQ is something that might interest them.

I remember visiting friends (at the time), watching them play for hours, studying the in-game map, then next day, going to the store to buy EQ, set it all up, then start playing.

Oddly enough, even though we all were on the same server, we hardly met in-game. In fact, I stayed on the server, and they both transferred to different servers. Year or two after that, we all moved on in different directions in our lives and ceased all contact with each other.

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll all be fine. It's when you nearly come to physical blows in a bar in Bangkok, that your friendship is f**ked (true story).
