Yea coming from EQ where dragons scurried around on the ground like retarded lizards to fighting a dragon that actually flies was pretty fucking awesome.

A lot of the EQ dragons had better personal lore though. Onyxia is just "Deathwing's daughter", okay great. After she ends her masquerade as Lady Prestor, she goes down hard in terms of cool factor in my opinion. WoW has too many dragons and makes them too "human" with their anguish, doubt and emotions. EQ managed to keep dragons mostly cool because they weren't a dime a dozen (outside of Western Wastes and Temple of Veeshan at least) and so it felt pretty epic when you were in presence of a dragon.
I'm talking strictly up to Gates of Discord when I stopped playing, but the dragons weren't really in EQ after Velious anyway at that point (I know they come back in later expansions).
