WoW certainly could break the mold,unlike the other shitty mmorpgs..like shadowbane,ffxi,daoc,and lineage II.(Ive played them all,and none of them can hold a candle to Everquest.)
I am curious though,if it handles like EverQuest..or if its a point+click and your character runs to that location.
Being able to move your guy with your mouse(looking around,strafe running etc)makes games much more enjoyable.

It handles exactly like EverQuest. I mean exactly!
Also, just reading the General chat during the game, all of the people so far have said it literally is the best MMORPG ever made. The game makers/producers/whoever didn't say that (not that I've heard), the actual people PLAYING the game have. And we're talking about people who have level 60+ characters in EQ, Star Wars Galaxies freaks, ALL of them. The main reason they are saying (along with me) that it's the best one ever made is because it's simply FUN. EQ had the "grind" where all you did is just level up in a party. WoW is simply FUN, and it's fun all the time. I honestly have a smile on my face for some of the quests they are so funny/interesting. I haven't played an MMORPG that was this fun in a long, long time. And I've played quite a few
For instance: Last night, me and 4 other people in a party were traversing a cave to finish a quest (one of those "kill this many of these guys" quests). We came across a guy in a crevice of the cave who was hunched over. We talked to him, and he was a Colonel of one of the armies in WoW. He said if we took him to the nearest town and were his body guards (the place was swarming with enemies) then he would give us an awesome item
So the Colonel starts walking like T-1000 out of the cave and we are blasting everything in site, trying to keep the Colonel alive. Then, all of a sudden, Colonel busts out a huge fucking broad sword and starts MUTILATING the monsters around us. I mean slaughter-house material here. Then he starts running towards an entire group of Orcs and he begins to slaughter them one by one. I, of course, are doing Area of Effect spells with my mage character. The other paladins and warriors in my group are over there slaughtering the enemies with the guy. He was just prison-raping them all. I mouse-overed his stats, and his health was about 1/10th down from fully-healed
Fucking badass. Then he went back to the path and started walking like T-1000 again. I mean this guy nuked PIGS, BIRDS, ANYTHING that came in our way. We got him to the nearest town and I was awarded an awesome new robe
I haven't had that much fun in an MMORPG in........ever. Good times
