I have been playing EQ1 last month or so.. just waiting for MoP.. i might try Terra as well. I might even log in my team on EQ2 for a tad ( FTP style )

As far as the hate in WoW, its mostly due PvP. In EQ there are a ton of people boxing, i think most of them box alt tab style as well. EQ and EQ2 in general have a high population of boxers. You can easily find this out by scanning the forums and the hundreds of posts on "what combo should I box?" type threads. And when they went FTP. a lot of players started extra accounts just for the convenience of it, for trading in the bazaar/market etc..

btw.. you team is great! thats a common 6box
