2011 - Everquest 2 v WoW v Rift ?

okay we have had comparisons back in 2006 about this, but both games have changed since then

Which has the :

1 friendlier community

2 better graphics

3 solo levelling ease

4 content at lower and higher levels.

5 revamped zones

6 value for money

Cheers be interested in the views!

Update:

Okay got some answers here are my views:

1 Everquest 2 much better community, WoW seems very immature with a lot of angry people playing

2 Rift is newer so that one here, followed by EQ2 and then WoW.

3 It used to be WoW but now it is EQ2.

4. WoW has very little content for higher levels, so again I would now say EQ2 has, RIFT not got that far to be able to say.

5. RIFT cannot be counted on this one, EQ2 and WoW are level on this, EQ2 is still revamping zones next up been Freeport.

6. Well EQ2 again sorry WoW lovers but cartoon graphics and lack on high level content don't do it for me.

    I haven't played EQ2, so, for WoW and Rift:

    1. Rift

    2. Rift

    3. WoW

    4. I prefer the Rift content, but WoW has more content

    5. Wow. Rift doesn't need to revamp; it's new.

    6. Depends what you enjoy. I'm sick of WoW, so Rift is a better value for me. If your life is raiding, WoW has more to do.

    1. friendlier community - WoW

    2. Better Graphics - Rift

    3. Solo leveling ease - Close but I'll say WoW

    4. Content at lower and higher levels - WoW, Post Cata (this is a plus, as it gets you invested in the world at an early time rather than force you to put in countless hours of dull gameplay just to get to some end raid... as wow was before)

    5. Revamped zones - WoW & EQ2 (WoW's are better though)

    6. Value for money - I think WoW is the better value simply because it's added so much content however its likley to be more expensive than the other two if you want the full experience ($100+ for all the expansions), rift has no expansions so it is only about $50 plus the monthly fee, EQ2 is different it is F2P and P2P at the same time, you get a choice... I would recommend the F2P version of the game simply because it's not all too different from the P2P and that EQ2 isn't good enough for me to invest my hard earned money into.

    Used to play WoW, but stopped about about 6 months or so ago, just before "Cataclysm" the new expansion came out, my friends still play it and they say that the community side of the game has improved as you can now communicate with your friends across servers, the graphics have improved if you have the computer power to take advantage of them. WoW was always fun to level solo or in a group and the end-game was fairly easy in Wrath of the Lich king. Cataclysm is apparently a lot more challenging end game but the leveling is still fun and fairly straight forward. All the areas in the game have been revamped (to follow the story of Cataclysm where "Death-Wing" destroys Azeroth. The game price is still the same at around £9.00 a month I believe :)

    as for the other games, I have never played them so I can't shed any light on them

    I'm still going to have to go with WoW. The game is getting alot better as they keep releasing amazing patches, Such as the new guild tabards as you gain honored and exalted with your guild. Guild levels. Guild finder etc. It a fun and time burner game that lots play. However Rift is not so bad as well. And everquest just sucks.
