I said much the same thing after I'd played them both, though I disagree with you on the value of EQ2's class system. Personal opinion.

I'd like to play EQ2 simultaneously with WoW (I liked my Iksar Fighter and my Gnome Wizard), but I can't justify the cost with my finances already so tight. WoW is the more enjoyable game, so WoW it is.

Aye, maybe the class system is really a matter of preference. But it can't be denied that EQ2 has far more (eventual) classes than WoW. 24 to 9.

But as you progressively broaden the classes out from the original four, the variations become fewer amongst the groupings. They are not 24 distinctly different classes. I'm not sure 24 distinctly different classes could exist! I certainly appreciate the breadth of the choices allowed you by EQ2, but you really can't contrast WoW's 9 distinctly different classes against EQ2's often marginally different subclasses (marginal within each class grouping, obviously).

Point taken. I agree that the difference between say, the Paladin and the Warrior is far more pronounced in WoW than in EQ2.
