Why did some EQ players dislike WoW?

[Encroaching Death]

I remember playing EQ and Asheron's Call, and then when DAoC dropped it was like a fine ass naked woman walked by me and I got tunnel vision and I completely forgot about EQ and AC.

Then WoW came out. I largely ignored it until I saw my sister's boyfriend playing it and I was like "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUU???"

Then I ate some ass.

I'll try to understand, but I have a feeling I have a long road ahead of me.


Thanks.

I loved WoW.

I remember thinking back then "WTF happened to EQ?? Someone got drunk and redesigned all the character models and zones. It's not even the same game."

I still think that today.

Lich King was peak wow raiding. After that things went downhill

Wow was basically inarguably a better game. Like 90% of people switched. The only holdouts were that it was slightly cartoony and hand-holdy
