i played WOW for 6 months, then came back to DDO
DDO has
1. dungeons that are quests. super awesome over pure dps runs
you put a DPS meter on this game, and you ruin the mmo aspect of it
2. REZ ability in raids (and at all for that matter)
WOW is more about the trinity failing and party wipes, with no real rez ability with timers like DDO
as a new player raiding in WOW, when you die they dont rez you, at all. you just have to wait for the party to wipe, or to succeed without you. it sucked.
3. REINCARNATION system
this is the best long term grind strategy i have ever seen for a mmo
in WOW, you have alts. in DDO, you have mules
completely different approach to the mmo
i labeled wow a vaporwear hamster ladder. no sense of anything permanent in that game.
WOW is a sweaTY competition game
DDO is a casual long endgame mmo
