The thing is, EQ (well, dikuMUD) set the standard for all future MMOs. WoW is an EQ clone.
And really the only differences between WoW and EQ when WoW launched were the lack of an XP-penalty for death, a lower time requirement to level cap (but not *that* much lower for your first character), and attempts to slow down mudflation with BoE/BoP gear and repair bill costs.
Really, WoW at release was just a vastly improved version of Luclin-era EQ.
And I don't care what anyone says, you're just plain lying if you think playing a Warrior or Rogue in EQ is more fun than playing one in WoW. Jesus, I don't know why they decided Warriors should be so boring...

So true.
I also like how people say WoW is easy mode and EQ is so much harder than WoW. EQ isn't harder than WoW at all, it's just less convenient.
I wonder how long it will take for someone to say to me "Then why don't you play WoW then if you like it so much!" and feel like they've made some kind of (asinine) point.
