I didn't say that SC will definitely be bad, I just mean that people throw around the "groundbreaking" word far too much when it comes to SC
Edit: Oh, and while you're right about EQ and WoW's relation, one major reason why WoW became so popular was because it is focused on availability to attract a wide audience. SC is taking the opposite direction with a niched style of game. Nothing indicates that SC will be good even now, because so few mechanics are out.
