Comparing WoW to EQ is largely pointless. Warcraft was on the order six to eight times more popular than EQ even in EQ's home market (North America), and the former also had international appeal that EQ mostly lacked. EQ (and to a lesser extent Ultima before it) demonstrated the potential of the MMOG market, but it was Warcraft which tapped that potential.
That being said, I can definitely compare wow-classic of 2019 to Warcraft of late 2004/early 2005, and in that case the modern product falls far short. Today's product is warcraft-lite.....a thinned-down decaf product for folks who only want to dabble or who couldn't handle the real deal. Yuck. I wanted the real thing, didn't get it, so I elected not to settle for a half-measure.
