Eve starts of cool, then 2 days later it gets difficult. You don't know what you are doing. After 3-4 weeks you wil lbe hooked for life.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
1 1/2 years in and I'm still going strong, only having taken a 3 month break to play EQ2 with some old online mates.
Am even juggling 3 accounts at the moment.

Given more free time I could see the value in playing it further but I just dont have the time to dedicate to it, I am more of a casual mmo'er. WoW suited this till I hit the higher levels and started to raid.

We really must have played different games. I'm a casual MMO'er, always levelling in games slower than others in the guild / corp / alliance / whatever. WoW, even when I was in a large guild often left me alone playing catchup on levels, just becoming a grinding session which tbh is completely boring.
Eve on the other hand suits my changeable hours as skill training takes place in real time. The only benefit to a character directly attributeable to timeplayed is money in wallet, and especially out in 0.0 space its a doddle to make enough money to keep me in battleships, skill books or whatever else I need. 3 hours ratting the other night netted me 50m isk, and that wasn't a very good spawning day!
 
EQ2 can be very good fun if you have a group of players you reguarly play with, lots of interesting content which can keep you entertained for ages. Imho it's let down by the end game when you get to raiding but getting to the raiding level theres loads of decent stuff to do.

D&D Online is also a lot of fun, it's strange how I don't fel the urge to play it all the time (like i did with EQ2, WoW, EQ and UO) but when I do play it I always have a good time. I imagen with a core group for D&D it would be even better, some of the quests are amazeingly fun and 6 people could do nearly everything in the game.

Someone said Vanguard, totally diffrent game from WoW, EQ2, D&D (plus it's only in early beta) if you want a game with huge potential but hours and hours of work to get there then it looks good. it's hugly item based and is all geared towards the end game content of raiding and the like.

Vanguard still needs a lot of work but it is shaping up to be pretty immense. I may or may not have first hand experience, I can't say :p
