Not to get too off the topic, but I just wanted to point out a few things.
WoW and EQ# are fairly popular MMOs, therefore it is not out of the norm to hear these names crop up in a MMO comparison. Believe me, many people hear "WoW this...EQ that...WoW does this better, etc" almost as often as they will hear Chuck Norris jokes. You just have to grin and bear it.
Secondly, IIRC, WoW was made for the average gamer. Not the hardcore people. Hence why individuals who are considered "hardcore" tend to get bored quickly with such a game.
Thirdly, in reference to Vanguard: say no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. I just hope it will be a refreshing MMORPG.
Fourthly, you can make friends in WoW if you want, Chris. Sure, you can level to 60 all by yourself, but you are correct. Where is the fun in that? There are 5-man instances . It is not an efficient way to level, but it's more fun than grinding.
I won't even touch upon your political joke, Mr. Quilty-Harper.
Was Microsoft's vision for Vanguard Vista exclusive? [Update 1]
