World of Warcraft vs. EverQuest II Article

Warcry is the latest website to publish an editorial that compares the two recently released MMORPG giants, World of Warcraft and EverQuest II. A snippet about the “end game” of each:

Everquest II is promoting an end game similar to that of the original game. You won’t be gearing up to fight other players. Your reason to get nice armor and weapons is to better equip yourself for fighting even bigger and nastier monsters. Some of the end game encounters will require many groups working together towards a common goal.

World of Warcraft encourages players to kill big monsters also. The end game goal here, however, is one of PvP combat. You’ll be getting better gear so that you can do battle with other players in battlegrounds. Details are still not fully revealed, but the end game will be a PvP-oriented one, much like Dark Age of Camelot’s Realm vs. Realm was.
