I just joined this site today but I can answer this for you. I have played FFXI, WoW, and EQ2. Currently I am only playing EQ2 but only because I cant afford FFXI along with it and my wife preferres a game where she doesnt delevel when she dies...lol. Anyway...WoW in my opinion sucks. FFXI is better than WoW by leaps and bounds. EQ2 on the other hand is also a great game but not better or worse than FFXI in any respect.
