Me and my friends from middle school played mostly Blizzard games; SC, WC3, D2. When we saw the WoW trailers that were coming out, we were blown away by the whole idea of an open world, multiplayer, and character building. I didn't know what MMOs where back then - my best friend knew what EQ was, but he hadn't played it. We couldn't wait for WoW to come out, so we decided we should play EQ to tide us over until WoW released. It far surpassed our expectations. A year later, my best friend moved to WoW like we had originally planned, but I had become an EQ loyalist. As two young MMO addicts playing two different games and going to two different schools, we completely lost contact after that.
