WoW is fucking incredible. It's extremely enjoyable. I've played the stress test, played on my friend's closed beta account, and am looking forward to open. The graphical feel of that game is very much in line with WC3 and whatnot. It's got the exact look of WC3. Battling in WoW is pretty decent, much better than EQ, can't comment on how it stacks up against FFXI. The best, best part about fighting in WoW is that when you die, you have the choice to either 1) resurrect right at a graveyard at the cost of less than 1% of your XP for that level or 2) run back to your body and take no hit in XP whatsoever. If that's not good news, I can't tell you what is. Professions are limited. You can only have 2, which creates a situation in which people specialize in things and get really, really good at them.
Almost all the XP you can get in WoW comes solely from questing. You can grind all you want, but there's no xp like quest XP. I mean, in the time it takes you to kill enough monsters to get, say 1000 xp, you can probably finish a quest in about half or a quarter of that time. Most times, the quests are pretty simple. Kill this many of this thing, collect this many of this thing. But it's still, for me at least, 10x more fun and 10x less frustrating than EQ ever was.
