I might be heading to EQ2.Follow

I started with EQ2 went to WOW and am back with EQ2

I left to go with a friend.

WOW doesn't have as much boring and time consuming useless activities as EQ2. WOW does lots to make the game go faster. They mark quest mobs on map and screen to make them easy to find and the tradeskills are much much better. (EQ2 makes you sit and pound keys for long periods of time.) In the early part of WOW progress is very fast. Selling is very easy in WOW as well. (The old EQ2 method of selling requiring you to stay on-line and in your house was just plain stupid. They have improved it but I have not used the vaults yet.)

The parts of WOW I did not like were.

I was on a PVP server. The opposite side (Horde in my case) would often gank lower level characters and camp their corpse to turn the ordeal into 40 min of repeated corpse recovery. The players were so high and got no credit for killing me that this was not fun PVP. Sometimes a high level will group witn a low level to gank so the low level gets unfair PVP credit.
I never minded getting jumped or even camped by players who got PVP credit for the kill. That is an integral part of PVP. WoW should either make high level ganking not possible, give penalties that would matter, or spawn help from above to attack and kill the gankers.

Also the user interface in WOW has problems. In EQ2 you target the tank and cast/fight the tank's target. When that target dies the tank selects the next target (or a mob hits him and gets selected automatically) and everyone is on target without having to retarget tank and /assist (can make macro but uses a hot button or action slot.) There are many addons in WOW that improve a weak user interface but they break everytime there is an update.

Blizzard uses a peer-to-peer update method and has relatively few update servers. I don't want executable software on my computer that has been on someone's computer I don't know and I don't want my computer used as a server to distribute Blizzard's update so I disabled that. Updates would take 4-5 hours or more to download with a 6 MB/sec connection. Then after the update was installed, all my addons would break requiring another period of time to straighten out the user interface.

Finally, I like to 2-box (run 2 characters at the same time using 2 accounts.) The EQ2 user interface is much better suited for 2-boxing. EQ2 lets you type hot buttons ahead. I can tell the warrior to wild swing, kick, and wound in 3 quick button presses which will take maybe 10 seconds to complete. During this time, I can heal, smite, etc with priest.

I hate the EQ2 tradeskills and may stop doing them altogether.

WOW is good for single accounts in PVE modes and is good for PVP if you have enough friends to kick the jerks butts who gank you (3 level 60 friends roll in and camp his corpse)

Both games are good. Each has different weak spots. Depends on what in-game friends you have and your personality.

You can also try this to see how you like it. Keep in mind that it is just the tip of the iceberg, the real adventure awaits.
