For anyone interested, MMOABC.com has posted a massive screenshot gallery comparing dozens of Western MMORPGs to dozens of Eastern-developed MMORPG. Unfortunately, there's nothing more than just a bunch of pretty pictures, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but these guys are probably too busy grinding XP on twelve different accounts simultaneously to come up with like, words... and stuff. Perhaps they would benefit from The Wandering Goblin's Guide to Power-leveling From 60 to 65 in Just Seven Months! I know I did...
For those of you who are vaguely interested but not enough to click that link, I've hand-picked the best of the bunch (basically, all the ones with half-naked elf chicks in ridiculously unsafe battle "armor"). You're welcome.

all of the western MMO's have better art direction and vary more in style, the asian stuff looks like those crappy free Korean MMO's.
It is really interesting (to me at least) to see how cultural differences, create such different fantasy worlds and atmosphere.
Give me girls from eastern MMORPGS
Give me the guys from western MMORPGS
But as game play and mechanics go I think western games win hands down. If an eastern game comes along and changes this though, wester MMO's might be in trouble.
Frankly I saw huxley and I want that. I'm tired of all the swords and arrows. Too many. Lets get some space shooters and shit. Eve with faster gameplay D:
The Huxley MMO looks pretty cool.
