Actually, looking at EQ2 some more it's interesting to see how close the design intentions of EQ2 and WoW really are; they're both oriented towards including a 'casual' MMORPG market. The obvious difference in graphics philosophies obscures many of their similarities. EQ --> EQ2 and Diablo --> WoW may be an example of convergent evolution. (Of course, it could still be to an evolutionary dead end.)
