Man I wish I had been able to hop into this thread earlier.

Reading back on all the fun stuff from EQ makes me wonder how it fell off...

I remember playing with Lasereth many times, we both agree that being in first person made you almost feel a "connection" with your character.

I started playing WoW and never felt the same connection there. Anymore it definitely is a stats race rather than enjoying a world and enjoying your character.

I really liked how things in EQ weren't "soul-bound" I remember giving my Necromancer's pets weapons...the better the weapon the more damage he'd do. Also swapping weapons with a friend was awesome (I beat Lasereth in a duel with his own weapon...couldn't beat him with mine )

I also miss that every class had it's own niche...all the classes in WoW seem to be getting more and more homogenized. Example, Rangers could actually track things, specific things, including other players bodies - you got paid money for this if you could help another player find their body that was way out in the middle of nowhere.

Biggest reason I play WoW now is that I loved the world from playing Warcraft 2 and 3. The stories are awesome, the characters are awesome. I just wish it had more of a "fantasy-realism" feel to it.
