World of Warcraft: EQ of Today?
I used to be an Everquest player - back in my days at MIT. I was an officer in a guild, and my gnomish enchanter was an absolute badass. Of course, I was hyper-sensitive to the proverbial addiction risk, and bailed on EQ when I started working full time.
I’m now braving the temptations and taunts of WoW…and having a blast. The truth is that I was level 6 before I finished playing for the first time, and found myself right at home in WoW; it was just like being back in EQ.
It’s my goal to document my experiences over the next few weeks here. Sure, there are thousands and thousands of places you can read more about WoW - but I’m hoping to bring you the MG perspective. In other words: how is WoW for the casual player? How does a person with a full-time job fare in this world of addicts? We’ll see.
By the way: I just hit level 7.
