I personally don't. It seems like EQ was in development long before UO launched.

And UO was a much more simple game to develop. I do think you can easily make an argument that WoW was initially an EQ clone.
But it triggers me how many people I see pretend like the devs of EQ saw UO and decided to rip off their idea.
Like what the heck??
On a side note, this
documentary basically corroborates the fact that EQ was in development for a really long time. And that it actually did get a lot of it's ideas from a MUD rather than from UO.
