For me it was the epic quest lines that took months and months to complete. It made that reward more worth it. In WoW the best gear you can get is from drops from raid bosses. In EQ2 some really great gear can be obtained from questing. This is of course before the latest expansion where things went to a token system for rewards like WoW. I stopped playing EQ2 before this system went into effect. When I quit EQ2 and switched to WoW I kept asking or searching for the big quest lines. I asked my friends "what quest should I be on?". It seems WoW's quests are only there as a means to level up. They are overall meaningless. In EQ2 I had quests in my journal at all time and would never think of deleteing them. In WoW i have no trouble completely purging the quests I get from a hub after I had out leveled them and moved to the next leveling area. What was it about EQ2 that made you want to resub?
