Seriously I don't see why WOW is so popular? MAybe its just better advertised or because its got Blizzard backing it up? Everquest II seems like a better game in just about every way though.
Friend of mine talked me into trying WOW. Since he tried EQ2 I said I would give it 1 month. The only good things I have found is on a technical standpoint it performs very well. I mean you can open up the game and within 15 seconds be on-line and playing. With EQ2 it takes me at least 3 minutes since it wants to download everquest2_delta along with LON crap every time.
That is really about it. The player base is very immature. I have gotten to 23 and about the most player interaction I have had is random invites to duel, join guilds with obscene names, and thats about it. The auction house is a pain to use IMO, and prices on lower lvl stuff seem rather inflated.
Try to do SOLO quests on WOW and you have to worry about breaking camps with 4 or 5 mobs in them. That is at least when the stuff is actually spawned, usually the stuff is over camped and you can't even find the mobs you need. I guess a high lvl can group with a low lvl and the low lvl will get exp and quest updates, so you can only imagine what they do? All the quests seem to be exactly the same. Go kill X amount of mobs, or go gather X amount of uncommon loots from mobs.
In any case I have 2 weeks left on WOW before the time runs out. I think I will be coming back to my 77 necro after that. I had been a little down as PU groups have been down on eq2 thanks to kunark. However in 23 levels I have had like 2 3 person groups and thats about it on WOW.
