Dont get me wrong, WoW is a great game but there is just some stuff about it that EQ2 has that i prefer which makes it in my opinion a better game.

PVP - WoW has BG/Arena yes but the way blizzard handles spells upsets me. They go in there and nerf a spell in both pvp and pve where as in EQ2 they went in there and made 2 discriptions you have the pve effect and then you have a pvp effect so one doesnt hurt the other

Customization - In WoW you can pick hair styles ... in EQ2 you can choose how tall or short you are. posisitions of the eyes/brows you can choose how fat or skinny you are ect.

Graphics- WoW to me is like playing a cartoon whereas EQ2 has awesome graphics

Talents vs AA - in WoW you get talents 1 pre level so you can only get 61 atm where as the AA system in EQ2 you get AA from quest, exploration, killing bosses/nameds

New player gear - in WoW you get white items with no stats till about 20 where you start getting better stuff (i know you cna get greens and stuff pre20 but they are few and far between just from quest) In EQ2 by the time you hit 10 with just quest they give you a full set of starting gear and weapons

Spells - In WoW you have to train at a trainer in EQ2 you get the spells when you ding (grant they arnt the highest rank of that spell but you get a free set to start out with)

Now for the big one

Player base - WoW > EQ2
