I think that between hard core (EQ1) and spoon fed (WoW), EQ2 was a good balance of difficulty and progression, but IMHO they screwed up their class system. They made freaken 24 classes, where they only needed 12, and the kind of choice that WoW gave classes with talent system, EQ2 designers made for the players before the game even starts. (did they really needed 2 druids, 2 warriors, 2 bards and 2 rogues? Nope, not really)
As a person who played all 3 games, I eventually arrived at conclusion, that if you want a game system done right - do it yourself =)
I never had problem with EQ1 been too hard, nor WoW been too easy, but in my mind the only way to set up class system - is the way I think it suppose to be =)
Thats how I arrived at EMU, and been working on my own server AND system ever since =)
