My point was that WoW and other modern MMO are based around moving from attraction to attraction. EQ was much more a world you explored and created your own adventures in (a la kids playing in neighborhood).

Can't tell you how much time I've spent exploring random nooks and corners of EQ that literally serve not purpose or exping for hours on end in some random room in the bottom of a dungeon or back of a zone.

Walking The Strip in Vegas : walking The Oregon Trail

The Strip is fun for about an hour. The Oregon Trail keeps trying to kill you for about a year.
