Hardcore

[Lagaidh]

I've played and raided both games. There's just no question that EQ was more hardcore through Velious. Even if you break down the complexity for each game with pretty UML diagrams of the encounters and their solutions... EQ was chock full of new MMO players.

By the time WoW came out, there were guild and raid veterans who learned the content faster.

Hell, for the sake of argument, say WoW has technically more difficult content encounters. It's going to seem easier to a pile of veterans playing a new game.
