World of Warcraft is a theme park. You go around, and you hop on rides. You do what the game tells you to do. There is no other options.
EVE is a playground. You can do whatever you want. There are no rides, no lines.
In World of Warcraft, you are strictly limited to following the path Blizzard wants you to follow. You can list the activities a normal player does on one hand.
In EVE, you are free. This cannot be stated enough.
The other big difference is the death penalty. The only thing in which there is any remote freedom in WoW is the PvP, and since there's no death penalty, there's no point in doing it. You don't get loot from kills or anything.
Best description that i've seen, and i've played Both games.....dying in WoW is no fun...dying in eve is a lot of fun.....(killing is more but thats another story)

WoW = McDonalds
Eve = 3 course meal at an expensive restaurant
3 courses is an understatement

WoW PVP?
after killing the guy wearing uber epic armor and weapon set for the seventeenth time, the taste of victory turns to dust since you lost as much time killing him as he did. and you gained nothing, he lost nothing. an hour wasted.
more than an hour......but point stands........no point to playing WoW....only gain there is no loss...its like a fantasy world out there for the people who are blind to reality (not talking about the fact they're dancing around with pixie dust and ferries)

is there any real "Skill" to an MMORPG pvp kill? ive allways seen it as who has the best gear wins.
course maybe EVE pvp is different.
you can have all the best gear but if you don't have the skills or brains to fit your ship your SOL

Only thing missing from WOW PVP is DAOC style frontiers.
After that, the game would be pure gravy. :)
More like pure crap.
Any PvP in which you simply respawn when you die is stupid.
its like playing a game and having god mode on...just pointless....

We're sorry you don't like FPS type game mechanics. We're sorry that you do not like World of Warcraft. We're sorry you think that the player should suffer needlessly upon death. We get it. Go away.
I like FPS games.
I play Unreal Tournament all the time.
However, World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, not an FPS.
If it was an FPS, the mechanic it uses would be fine.
We're sorry you don't comprehend basic MMORPG mechanics, and the difference between two very different genres.
We're sorry that you don't comprehend PvP beyond the idea of "needless suffering after death," like the fact that without any sort of consequence for PvP it might as well not exist.
Even at that i don't consider WoW even to be an MMORPG.......Dark is making good points....Sky is flaming....
