See something you don't like on p99? Must be some damn WoW players!

And why not? Most of us, if not all have played WoW at some point. That garbage of a game has set the standard for mmo's for years to come.

The thing is, EQ (well, dikuMUD) set the standard for all future MMOs. WoW is an EQ clone.

And really the only differences between WoW and EQ when WoW launched were the lack of an XP-penalty for death, a lower time requirement to level cap (but not *that* much lower for your first character), and attempts to slow down mudflation with BoE/BoP gear and repair bill costs.

Really, WoW at release was just a vastly improved version of Luclin-era EQ.

And I don't care what anyone says, you're just plain lying if you think playing a Warrior or Rogue in EQ is more fun than playing one in WoW. Jesus, I don't know why they decided Warriors should be so boring...

Vanilla WoW is pretty much an improvement on EQ in every way. The one way it is not, is instanced vs shared content. This is the only reason to play EQ. Thx.

I had many an epic PvP battle over Azuregos. Once a Mage killed 27 of our raid members with a single blast wave...

Such is the price of curiosity.

I just think it's hilarious how a lot of people on this server love to blame WoW every time someone is a douche or a bad player.

I just got trained! Must be a damn WoW player!
Items too expensive, damn WoW players!
My group sucks, they all must play WoW!

Also, your logic of "most if not all of us have played WoW at some point" is laughable too. By that same logic we could blame oxygen breathing for everything dumb that happens. Why not? We've all breathed oxygen at some point.

Never played WoW. Haven't even seen the game aside from screenshots.

So true.

I also like how people say WoW is easy mode and EQ is so much harder than WoW. EQ isn't harder than WoW at all, it's just less convenient.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to say to me "Then why don't you play WoW then if you like it so much!" and feel like they've made some kind of (asinine) point.
