World of Warcraft really is an EverQuest copy/pasta.

Apparently, when WoW was finished and they had to build the world one of the devs who were deep into EQ raiding asked one of the higher ups what he wanted, and followed it up with: We could just copy EverQuest with our own lore? That pretty much became WoW, sure they tuned it around a bit, but basically wow is just the love child of EQ raiders and suits without a creative bone in their body... Then came bobby...
