Ok I'm in this one room in school and two people in there get into a big discussion and they are my friends though. But one of them plays Everquest and the other plays World of Warcraft and I don't play both because I think they are a waste and you are gonna get no where in that game. But they wouldn't stop they kept on discussing on which is better though thats why I'm asking you to state your opinion either you like WoW and side my one friend, or EQ and side with my other friend, or just think they are both stupid and side with me. So just post whatever you want on here I guess.

In single-player games, the objective is to get to the end, and (hopefully) have fun along the way. In MMORPGs like WoW and EQ, the objectives are numerous...get more powerful, acquire cool equipment, engage in PvP, make friends and overcome challenges along with them. If you have fun doing any of this, then it isn't a waste.

EQ is a much older, more difficult, and group-centric game. But if you're talking about EQ2, then it's pretty much comparable to WoW in terms of gameplay. From a graphical standpoint, EQ2 favours realism, while WoW goes with the fantasy/cartoon/comic book approach.

No game is a waste of time. Saying that is hypocrite, because it depend of the taste of the person.

lol......you hate both mmorpg's but you come to the forums to ask for our opinions on which is better? THat makes no sense. What do you care? Obviously you hate mmorpg's and think they are a waste of time, which seems like the true question you wanted ask. Do we think mmorpg's are a waste of time?



I spent nearly 5 years playing an mmorpg(not either of those). In the end I had a love/hate relationship with the game but you know what i wouldnt trade those times for anything. In fact If i had the money and a pc that could run them I would be playing them now!!. Give me a porta potty and an IV with nutrients and im good to go.



People like and enjoy different things, we are all individuals. Just because a group of people enjoy mmorpg's doesnt make them right and you wrong or you wrong and them right. If you think they are a waste of time dont worry about the people who love it just go enjoy whatever you enjoy. Like I said I could totally veg out playing them because I love them so much. Its like a never ending video game.



I havent looked at EQ recently or have any knowledge of why it would be better than WoW but I can probably guess. WoW has awesome 3d graphics and stuff but the loot system doesnt seem very good like every time you kill a monster you either get one of three items or nothing at all but its always the same 3 items. EQ has crap graphics(the last time i seen it) but probably has a better loot system or maybe a more complex character development system. I couldnt play EQ with its butt ugly graphics and british theme.



I'd give anyhting to be playing WoW, EVE, Asheron's Call, and City of Heroes/Villians.

WOW is much better than EQ. Though, I prefer Guild Wars myself.

I enjoyed everquest when I played it. I just think some expansions killed that game, lousy GMs, and buggy ingame. Waste of time, sure, but what video game isn't?

EQ2 is slightly more fun IMO, but WOW is definetly more polished.
