My favorite of all time was the original EQ, closely followed by EQ2. I have played Wow, and quit twice ... it just seems childish in comparison, and the community is absolutely horrible. Don't get me wrong, I had fun in WoW, it just wasn't as good, IMO as the EQ's. I had a lot of difficulty taking it seriously, where in EQ, I often felt like I was actually in Norrath (which is the entire point of an RPG, no?). EQ2 was not quite as immersive, though it certainly became more polished as it matured, but some of the game mechanics were so heavy-handed they made the game world feel more artificial. WoW multiplied that by 10.
