Wow has more quest and is a lot more friendly for the casual player than games like everquest 2 and lineage 2.

Wow has a relatively fast advancement rate, so that in maybe 30 of time spent ingame, you'll probably hit the max level. There are also way more quest than other mmorpgs...

For example, I played Lineage 2 longer than I played wow, and in % of the level cap, I got closer to it in wow than in L2.

In L2 it take extremly long to level, if you die you lose xp and items, if you die a few time you can lose day's worth of xp...

What I'm trying to get to is that for wow they tried to remove all the annoying things found in other mmorpgs, so that playing it would be fun instead of a chore.

That's the difference in style, I'd describe wow as fun, and eq2 as long.

The closest thing to D&D would be D&D online that is expected to come out in 2005.
