You know, the games have advanced – better graphics and all; but I can’t so much say they are more fun. I’ll never get as deep into WoW as EQ, I don’t think – sadly. Well maybe not, I was pretty obsessive about EQ.

I’ve tried EQ2, some of it is ok, I even reactivated my EQ1 account a while back, it was cool – but changed so very much, it’s not near the same at all.

I’d like to see a hard core kinda game again. One where instead of going the first 10 levels of quests will net you with a full set of gear, basically and one level is as easy as the next.

Nothing like that first week of EQ – the world was so immense. You HAD to worry about getting lost, because there was no “I lost my way home, take me back” – button, lol

It gave a real threat to unknowns and made the world a big scary place. When I started WoW and figured out that all you had to do was rez at the soul binder dude and hearth home.. I was kinda like ‘meh’ – I mean, I could wander anywhere without any real penalty.

You know, if they ever did a Hardcore game like that again, or maybe even classic EQ servers, I might be game to try it. I miss the challenge. I miss the “not everyone can do it” aspect of the game.

In WoW – getting ‘epic-ed’ out is just par for the course, in the early days of EQ is was a major accomplishment. Indeed.
