Huge open world, dangerous areas where you can just die if not careful, figuring out the lore by reading text and worldbuilding, figuring out the game and quests with other players.

Maybe it was closer to Elden Ring than modern WoW, but lol no.
Like, a man in a dress with pronouns is closer to a woman than a man is. But it's still not a woman.

I'm talking specifically about the complaints the Blizzard Dev has, the games are similar in that specific way.
Obviously they have huge differences too.

Yeah I'd say EQ was the Elden Ring of MMO's, but WoW has always been hand-holdy and theme-parky. We even commented on it back in 2004 when it came out, comparing it negatively to EQ. It was fun, but it was no FromSoft game.

With radar guidance systems, bear ass quests, auction houses. Not to mention overall it was way easier. I don’t think I died in wow until I was in my 20s. I remember thinking it was pretty easy coming from EQ. It’s not comparable to Elden Ring at all, completely different experiences.

Your first day logging into EQ, at least it was for me.
You're a human in Freeport with nothing but a rusty club, a cloth shirt, and a note to find your guildmaster (whoever the fuck that is). It's raining and dark and you also can't see shit. Go try and talk to a guard but hit 'a' before opening the chat prompt and proceed to get insta killed by the guard. Loading, please wait.
Welcome to EverQuest baby! Where everyone starts as a Wretch!

I was big sad t hat wow didn't use that glorious engine to run a literal EQstyle game. with huge open world dungeons you camped shit in, and meaningful, incomperable loot. hard level experience. emergent game play. etc etc. instead they made a glorified quest hub mover.
That coupled with the utter lore butchery from WC 2-3 and i was out. didn't make the first expansion

i made a troll. in game gamma was so bad i couldn't see shit (despite troll vision). i fell into a hole. couldn't figure out how to look up to get out of the tiny water pit. logged out. started another manz in an area with lots of players who gave tips. some days passed, then i played the troll again equipped with wisdom of how to not fall in holes.

I think if I were looking for a picture to sum up the concept of Beta Faggot it would be impossible to top this one.

That’s cool. I’ve wanted a drone view video of the map to just buzz around and look at how big and connected it is from above. Looks like that’s the way to do it.
