I'd play WoW if it came out 6 months before but sadly they both had to come out right around the same time and MMO's take up so much of your time I feel forced to choose one. Obviously thats EQ2 for me because I'm a hardcore gamer

EQ2 scales nicely. I was a hardcore EQL gamer but now due to work I'm a casual gamer. EQ2 has done a great job in keeping my interest as a casual gamer. The nice thing is if I ever get more time I can turn hardcore if I want. Not saying WoW doesnt have a hardcore side because they do. It just cant really be compared to EQ's.

Again this is the viewpoint of a lvl17 crusader. Things may change when I gain higher levels.
