WoW is bloody great, polished and just all round fantastic.
If you're casual (Else you'll be done with new raids after 2 weeks apparently)

I for one ain't casual but don't want to go hardcore (As WoW funny enough forces you to)
so I go with EQ2, it's just much more solo and sandbox stuff (Decorating!)

Wow is the better game by a significant margin. I judge that by content.

Of course, this is just *my* opinion..........

Wow, hmm easy to play, doesnt change much and is basically the same all the way through.

EQ2, last time i had played this alot of the better quests had been removed (boat rides) opening these ment something when completed, now you dont need to do them. Somethign that made teh game worth while. Alot of other changes too. Some poor, some good, but it can now be played with a solo character (as at one time you had to be grouped to even tie a shoelace).

I have seen it from release (left after 3 months, not solo playable) went back on the liveupdate 18, was goign to subscribe again but then liveupdate 19 hit and made it go back into the dark era, 1 year later i went back and found significant improvements, but then left 2 weeks before Vanguard was released (no need to put anything here on that piece of crap). Can see it going the way AC2 has gone myself.

So far i havent been back to EQ2 since because yet again i find myself doubting anything to do with the SoE nametag to its name, that also includes an upcomming mmorpg called gods and heroes, but with the SoE tag on it, i find myself very dubious to it (much like many many others who have made posts on various places, and i am inclined to agree with their worries).

well both are life suckers.  depends on if you like cartoony graphics or not.

Both are Great games

WoW can be overly simple but you can solo with easy all the way to 70th and there is PvP

EQ2 more complicated but graphically superior, you will need a group for later levels and for later quests like the flying carpet quest, and guilds are a must for later raiding.

Can't say anything bad against both games they both will keep you busy for a year or more.

P.S Try a Shadow Priest in WoW and an Assassin that is Str based in EQ2.

Ive actually played them both, and like them both for what they are. they are totally different. I played wow for like 2 months and found it to be really dam easy. even though i'd still play it again it was kinda monotnous because it was so progressing and easy if you've played any MMORPG before, you can master this. and EQ2 was pretty fun but there was something about it, im not really sure, but i just didnt like it after the first month. maybe it was all the questing, i dont mind questing but all that game was, was questing. so they both have their downfalls. i think if i was to choose between EQ2 or WoW, id play EQ1 again lol.
