I almost find it funny, their different games, some people will like one over the other.

I keep hearing this too and am baffled, it's about the same as it was in the original EverQuest. It may seem faster since the game is a lot of fun and you can gain experience from doing quests as well as grinding.

Nope its fast because its simply fast.I took 10 day gameplay to hit 60 and thats not much i know people who did it in 6-7 days gameplay.
I did a lot of running around and pvp on the side and still did it in 10 day gameplay.

To cut a long story short i am an old time mmorpg player from back in 1997 with UO.
Honestly speaking in the early levels WoW and EQ2 are neck to neck with WoW winning by a bit.
Mid levels WoW beats EQ2 badly.This is a boring period in EQ2.
However,high end game EQ2 is the champion by a mile over WoW.
Though WoW has pvp its so badly done that if you played DAoC you will be bored of it in under 1 week and thats really all you do in WoW once you hit 60 if you are on a pvp server.If you are not then boredom must be even worse.
EQ2 starts to pick pace after level 45 and keep going.
Also there is much more ineraction EQ2 then WoW and its not because the server capacity of EQ2 servers can take more people.WoW is very solo and not very social.You can be on a server in WoW with 150 on or 1500 and it hardly seems to matter.Everyone is soloing .
So i have decided next month to cancel WoW over EQ2 simply because
a)i like a mmorpg to last me more then 2-3 months.WoW simply is dead after you hit 60 and the pvp is a total bore with no real incentives.EQ2 lacks pvp(hopefully they add it someday) but has so much to do when you max out.
b)the social interaction in WoW is simply pathetic.Much better in EQ2
c)i can see myself logging into EQ2 at xmas 2005.I can't even imagine logging into WoW by mid year even.
I also found much more server outrage with WoW then with EQ2.Those playing on the original WoW are all in long queues for hours.Thankfully,after 3 days of launch i made the move to a less populated server so do not have this issues and as you can see not kept it in my views of this games.
I will not comment on graphics as i am not a big graphics fan.But EQ2 with a good system is much more realistic and better looking.
To me EQ2 is definately a better choice for long term play.Its easy to see why many reviews and site give the nod of WoW over EQ2 simply put i did the same because until you get past the mid levels WoW looks way better then EQ2 but after that forget it EQ2 keeps rising and WoW basically becomes same old same old .

I'm at 15.5 days /played and just dinged 50. I've gone after a mix of greatly enjoying the game, which entails exploring and such, and levelling, since I wanted to catch up with a few friends who started before me. I don't believe you got 60 in 10 days played, much less anyone you know in 6-7, without utilizing some kind of exploit. Sorry, just doesn't seem possible. Did you really register just to insult the game?

Please post a link to your char profile on wowplayers so I can point and laugh at the hollow unequipped shell of an L60 that only solos....
I guarantee my gear at 48 is better than any L60 that soloed all the way up...
there is no way you can get the uber items from any L40+ instance alone even at 60...
let alone solo scholamance or BRS/BRD or the temple...
You played the game to grind.. which is not how WoW was designed...
I see so many L60s with literally crap equipment casue they soloed all the way up.. then they inspect me a lowly 48 and go wow where did you get those blue and purple items...
Yes i am in the most powerful L60 guild on Gorefiend.. yes we have 45 L60s costantly farming BRS for Onyxia keys so alot of gear gets passed down... but if you look at our profiles you will see we are the ebst eqiupped on the server...
including the Horde Uber guild...
There is SOOO much to do at L60 and so much gear to get ready for dragon and battlegrounds...
there is way more top level content at this stage than L50 content in EQ2...
sorry but just becasue you powerleveled solo past the best part of the game doesnt mean there is no content...

Fact you probably have never touched EQ2(or at least made level 50 in EQ2) means you have no idea what there is to do at level 50.
And fact you yourself say you are only level 48 in WoW means you have no idea of what it is like at level 60 in WoW and hence can not judge what there is to offer at level 60 sorry.
Yes i might grind hard but at least i have maxed out both games and can judge what the high end content has to offer.
When you hit the maxed out level of both games you can come and call my post garbage .Until then your comments are restricted to knowledge of ONE of the two at mid level range.
If you say oh i played EQ2 to late 30s and WoW to late 40s and i think WoW is better I would say yes you have a comparision view there(note i even awarded mid levels to WoW).
But to come and say EQ2 has less content at max levels then WoW when you might have not even have played EQ2 past a few levels(if at all) and as you state not even hit max level in WoW is so funny as you don't know and at best are relating to 2nd or 3rd or even 4th hand information.

Xenif made it in 7 days gameplay and he was wildely posted upon and he himself posted this as he was first to do it.Do you really think a exploiter would go un noticed been so public.
There are numerous of us level 60s running around as it is.
Sorry but if you think i needed exploit to get to level 60 thats your problem not mine.I have never used one and see no reason to exploit.
Fact remains it seems to even mention ingame that WoW has any problems is to get a barrage of insults.
At least in EQ2 you can say in general(ooc there) that so and so is messed up in EQ2 and not get the flying insults.
Shows where the mature gamers went to and reinforces my views in the everlasting WoW vs EQ2 debate.
I am happy at least i seen the end game of both to judge where i be playing for the next few months.
Up to rest to decide.

Wrong again newbie...
i have been L60 several times over the beta period for WoW...
now I just dont have the time..
my entire guild is L60.. we all started on day 1...
I know exactly what there is to do at L60 in wow.. as my guild is prepping for Onxyia this Sunday and they have been prepping for 2 weeks non stop farming the L60 instances...
each run though takes 3-4 hours
then they do it again...
do you have a full set of L60 epic armour from BRS/Schoolo?
didnt think so...
Yes I also played EQ2 in beta and release..
the game is completely laughable for content and for design...
there is less than 50% of what WoW content has at L60...
At this point if WoW gets thier battlegrounds and PVP system in place it will make the top level game in WoW 75% more content...
So it comes down to who can patch thier game faster with high level content... EQ2 has next to none compared to the high level isntances for WoW...
BTW newb where is your L60 char profile what server and guild is his newbness from?
I told you were to find ours... Sinister on gorefiend use wowrankings.com and take a look...
apparently i hit a nerve on your gear.. guess you really are a wortless newbie...
piss off...
