I still enjoyed it more than new mmos, but it was a far cry from EQ in terms of quality.
Careful. Those arguments, that combat takes too long and needs speeding up, or that you traverse the world too slowly, are exactly the same aeguments that kids use today to claim that EQ is objctively worse than modern mmos.
