You never played Vanilla. Raids were almost impossible for over 90% of the players in the beginning. There are professional WoW players today, who are sponsored. It was designed for hardcore and casual players. With the Addons it got more and more casual friendly.
Soulbound items did exactly the opposite, materials were still traded and when it was crafted there was no resell value. That meant the demand stayed high. The economy was also influenced trough expensive mounts and auction taxes. It may be not as complex as EVE, but big because everyone participated in it.
- JanezStupar 15y agoI have and I also played UO and my friends played EQ. Comparing to those two tittles WOW is super tame and casual. Edit: I played EVE too and it is pretty much up there with UO in terms of there being a real possibility of getting a heart attack by playing the game.
- patio11 15y agoIt was the difference between working at Foxconn and working for a Japanese megacorp: sure, there's a casual option among the two, but neither is exactly stress-free. (Bona fides: participated in 3 of the above 4 soulsucking activities.)
