Well, a review on Xplay (g4techtv) came in on EQ2 vs. WoW.
EQ2 got a 4 out of 5.
WoW won with 5 out of 5.
There were poor little bunnies used for mindless slaughtering... "Whyyy? Whhyyy?"
And the death sequence in WoW is actually pretty cool, and original. When you die, you make a walk (of shame, perhaps) through the ghost world and return to your corpse, allowing you to continue where you left off.
