That was true in vanilla and it was true up to GoD at least (for the non-instanced shit) and frankly, I liked it better. I could jump in and play for an hour or two or I could join a group and stay for ten with new members as time went on. WoW's system means if you want to pug (and no, I don't for this reason amongst others) you will need to replace someone after the one-hour romp through who-the-hell-cares_001273. |
Is this for real? Are you really trying to say EQ was more casual friendly than WoW? Since when do you have to PUG in WoW at all to get exp? I would say 95% of all the quests can be completed solo as well.
This is in direct contrast to getting exp in EQ unless you happen to be one of the soloing classes like a necro or druid. God help you if you were a warrior and had to LFG all fricken day long if you were not in a good guild. You could burn away your 1 or 2 hours of free time just looking for a group.....oh yeah, also 30 minutes just trying to get a friendly wizard or druid to port you and then running to Sebilis or Chardok or whereever.
EQ more casual-friendly than WoW? Now I've seen it all.
