What caused the decline of EQ as the #1 MMO?

[oldhead]

The games direction is what killed it for me. The development staff leaving and SoE changing the "vision"

But yeah if you look at numbers the herd didnt jump boat till there was greener grass. (wow)


Hell, i was happy when wow came out. Doac was dead for me and there wasnt much out that was good. Kinda like now. (besides p1999)
10 mins into beta I knew that this game was "it". Called my buddy and told him its the new EQ.
He didnt believe me until 6 months later. he is still playing that pos ;p
