Wildstar certainly seems cool and I love the sense of humour that they are interjecting into the whole thing so I really cannot fault them for their efforts to date.
That having been said Wildstar is not Everquest. Everquest, for me, has a gravitas to it that nothing can quite duplicate. I can still rattle off the names of the primary gods : Rodcet Nife, Tunare, Rallos Zek, Veeshan, Solusek Ro, Prexus, Mithanial Marr, Erolisi Marr, Quellious, Karana, Bertoxullous, Innoruk, Cazic-Thule. Each of these immediately pops images and memories into mind from over a decade ago. Feelings of anticipation and accomplishment that much more polished games since have never been able to replicate.
To people who did not play EverQuest when it first came out or who never played it this probably sounds totally bonkers, but to me MMORPG = Everquest.
God damn I hope they didnt fuck this up.
