What I meant: EQ2 was ment to be full blown competitor for WoW, one that would put the newbie to its place in the corner
And for a moment back when games where published EQ2 was leading. Then WoW made knockout and EQ2 came yet another MMO fighting for scraps. Quite a difference to Everquest 1
That's why I don't count it succesful, though it sure is financially succesful.
It's just that it is like if The Beatles suddenly released single that got only in Top Ten. Sure it is succesful, but not what it was aiming for. Or what would logically be level of its success
