Pretty much EVERY MMORPG nowadays is an easymode shitfest. EQ was the only "real" one, IN MY OPINION. After WoW and EQII everything got some shitty cartoon-graphics overhaul and playing solo is the best way to level. Raids are shit with like what, 25 players max? You could have 70+ in EQ, it actually felt massive. The graphics are BETTER than any modern MMORPG because they are dark, gritty, medieval, etc. All games nowadays look like fucking Free Realms. Grouping in EQ is fun because to survive, you can't all just be a warrior, you need a healer, slower, CC, tank, and normally two DD classes to play effectively. Teamwork is fun, promoted, and needed to advance far in the game. That is why I have been playing EQ since 2002 and never looked back. I tried WoW for the trial, I quit after three hours. I couldn't stand it. Quests are stupidly simple and unfun. Anyway, that's my two cents.
