My honest oppinion. The Graphics. All the equipment pretty much looked the same, im sick of all the cartoony mmorpgs that have no immersion wow is the same way.
Second: The lack of any penalty in the game...
Dying has no penalty, travel is too fast. You feel much more immersed in a game if you cant click a button and teleport anywhere you want. Travel = realism theres no danger warping from one location to another. Pointing at everquest you actually would think, is this journey worth the danger of dying after traveling 30 minutes from one side of the continent to the other only to be slain by something?
No thrill = No longetivity
The gameplay is solid for both this and wow but its all about the lack of immersion which you get from 3rd person mmorpgs.
The reason people get so immersed in an mmorpg is the fact that it feels like they are injside the game and thats what you get from for instance everquest. You were looking out through the eyes of the character.
The only game full sandbox worked on without players camping places killing everybody for the hell of it was the very first mmorpg, Meridian 59.
Had the best battle system, lvling system, equipment system and when you pked your name turned red which gave everyone in the game the right to kill you without penalty as well as most merchants wouldnt sell to you until you atoned for your crime which was not easy.
When there were random pkers it didnt last too long because there would be anti-pkers and when you die in that game you lose a level.
best implimentation of a pvp system with a sandbox driven skill setup. If some future mmo came up with a game like that again, except modern it would be a best seller.
Why would someone who likes EVE and its take forever to do anything enjoy a fast paced game? They are two COMPLETELY different games so your opinion has NO merit.
To the previous poster, read what your sig says. My note on the matter is. With shared xp in an area whats going to keep leechers from just following you around stealing xp while you do the work?
Are you still playing (or subscribed to) your first MMO?
