| My personal opinion on it:
Why did WoW get so popular? Brand name and the fact, at least for the first 59 levels, it's easier than even the most basic of offline games.
Everquest came out when the market was young and undeveloped. And, whatever is popular in China rules the market. Get rid of inland Asia and WoW population shrinks to half and LineageI/II disappear. WoW still dominates the market by around 50% still.
Personally I prefer the depth of EQ style games. Which is why I currently play FFXI and only Vanguard interests me in the future. |
