World of Warcraft really is an EverQuest copy/pasta.

UO will always have a special place in my heart; I still have The Rolling Stones magazine where I first heard about it, and was instantly obsessed with the concept or idea, as something like this had only been a pipe dream for me. But I think it’s false to imply that EQ copied UO because EQ was in development for multiple years longer than UO [You must be logged in to view images.

I just get triggered when I see people imply EQ just stole UOs idea because it was actually in development long before UO launched.

Also I’m drunk and about to pass out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I will respond to other people when I wake up

I don’t watch things people urge me to watch.

But if you wanted to recommend a cool documentary about Everest, I’d totally watch it.
