On: What made World of Warcraft's environments so compelling?

[tlear]

Interesting I liked WoW but environments never really entranced me like Everquest did. Mostly because of scale. Nothing in WoW compared to running from Freeport to Queynos or the boat journey

EQ doesn’t have the boat anymore! It’s still around and free to play on steam (both 1 and 2).

Playing those games in first person perspective makes them seem gargantuan. It’s pretty cool.

The boats are back, they’re just not obligatory
