World of Warcraft vs. EverQuest II

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft and Sony’s EverQuest II go fourteen rounds in a boxing-style comparison article at GameSpy. When the dust settles, though, World of Warcraft comes away as the champion:

Wow (no pun intended)!. There were a couple of real surprises in that fight. While World of Warcraft won with a respectable 6 points to EverQuest II’s 5, there’s more there than just a score. There were three points where both games were equal (Character customization, ease of travel, and combat), and more than a few where EQII clearly outmatched it’s rival, most notably in the area of avatar’s physical customization, role playing, and crafting. This is, perhaps, by design, as World of Warcraft was created to be a friendly, no hassle experience designed to appeal to everyone while those with a bit more experience with MMOs who want to try role playing or get into a deeper crafting system might want to dive into EverQuest 2.
