Round 2: Challenge - Difficulty vs. Reward
If you think that working towards a goal should not be an easy task, and that the harder the road, the sweeter the success, then you have a fairly tough choice. WoW in its beta stage appears easier, especially early on as character advancement is quite pacey, but does slow down somewhat as you progress. EQ2's leveling process is noticeably slower, even as early as the pre-teens. Challenge in the form of difficulty of an encounter is probably going to be an even match, as designers on both sides have take care to ensure that balancing and designing encounters is easy for them to accomplish. So because of the leveling speed...
Winner: EQ2 on points.
