Yeh but it's not about it being easier because I don't mind hard games but functionality. The map on EQ right now is a joke and things like not being able to play in third person mode because you keep clicking on yourself. The horrible combat where you just stand there and it does a lackluster animation of them hitting the mob every few seconds. The stiffness of the movement and how clunky it feels, like you're trying to turn a lorry round on an old European village street in the mountains while it's covered in rocks lol.

I hate the nasty UI that isn't any fun to use like WoW and even things like that that way point thing floating in the air that EQ2 had. Just give me a proper map and put the way point on there instead or an icon over their head telling me thats the person.

The loading between all the zones is something I hate and what I love the most about the world is the world where it's all seamless between zones, apart from the main conts. However they do well to make it feel seamless where you have to travel on a boat and it loads in the middle of the sea.

I love how WoW did the classes where each one has 3 ways to play like a Priest can do heavy damage, healing or survival. All the classes in WoW are fun to play where as everyother mmorpg I've played I spent my entire time trying to find a class I liked and then quit.

Swimming in Everquest is so hard like you have to keep pressing space to float up and trying to get on a ladder to get out of the water is impossible. Found myself stuck in the water of the Lizardman starting area in Everquest lol.

I'm so thankful for all the improvements WoW did and the amazing quality of the content which is head and shoulders above any other game. My only gripe with WoW is I hate the direction they went with all the MT and all the giving gifts away left right and center. I hate how theres no in game character customization and you have to pay for it. I hate how theres no housing even so long after launch.


My fave mmorpg of all time was SWG Pre CU but I can't deny that WoW improved the actual functionality.
