Yeah, don't those environments in EQ2 look really bland? Not what I'd expect from such a big game, but they do. For comparison, look at these...

Etc. Its not even close. The only nice thing in those EQ2 shots for environments is the nice look of the Medieval village... and those buildings do look nice. But I definitely prefer the beauty of WoW's amazing cartoon art. As I said, sure, EQ2 has more polys, but that is irrelevant when we're talking artwork as great as WoW.
And gameplay-wise I am sure that there will be no comparison.
Oh, and EQ2 has very ugly hills and trees, and the people while they often look good have a few not so flattering. See: the last two in that giant picture post of mine. :)
