If fee does not matter then Wow is the more in depth game. There are more skills to work with, Mounts and you can put together 100 person raids. The graphics are more cartoonish, more in line with Warcraft.
If you don't like paying 15 dollars per monsth to play a game then GW will keep you satisfied. The quest are just as good as WoW and the PvP is better as long as you are ok with team PvP.

I like GW better. WoW seemed to get so repetitive....collect 100 apples, make an apple pie...collect goretusk snouts/liver/eyes/etc create a goretusk pie. That and I hated the fact that I had trouble taking on more than two guys around my level.

i have GW on ATM (i love being able to play it windowed side by side with other things)
there is a message right now
"warning: if u download GW add-ons like bots....likely have your account stolen."
bc of the monthly fee in WoW you can be sure NO cheating is tolerated. that the number 1 reason imo that i favor WoW
wow (unfortunatly?) is more RPG, with lots of repetitious leveling and work, BUT thats what makes it rewarding to many people. getting to 60 and the chance at finding a rare recipes that make the time invested worth it to people.
GW on the other hand seems more like the zelda rpg, or arcade gautlet, you still progress but its not as "tedious" in the same way, im still only 6 but thats the way the game sorta seems.
i like that fact that WOW is hard, i LOVE that fact that you need to work your butt off and dedicate yourself to getting 60 so that you can eventually find a group of 40 level 60's just to TRY to kill some dragon (Onyxia) and even then if your team doenst work together u could spend 2 hours and not get the job done! http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4616
the raiding is just awsome i think. the only game that i hear as a real rival to WOWs's raiding and such is a game called Camelot.

damn, Ive also asked some ppl on another forum about this,now Im still not sure..
I heard GW will get expansions etc, that will add new skills/classes. How frequently is wow updated, getting new areas etc?
Another game to watch out for is: http://lotro.turbine.com/index.php?page_id=66

I don't know how often it gets updated and I can't speak for GW personally but the WoW world is just SO SO extremely incredibly gargantuam and there are so many skills you can acquire,etc. that I don't see why the current version would get boring anytime soon.
*cough cough* go to Scarlet Crusade realm *cough*

WoW was fun at first, got bored kinda fast though. I couldnt stand the binding on pick up items. I never got what I needed cause the things I needed were inside places to hard to solo, and in parties people rolled for them even if they had no use. But leveing in WoW is great, tons of bosses, instances, special monsters to find. Also I liked the mounts and raids, outside the lag I got in raids it was fun. But PvP isnt much fun there, higher lvls jump you all the time and guard graveyard and the corpse, never really get much of a chance to fight people around your lvl.

yah the vid u can also download on blizzards site, they keep people updated with the offical news. theres more bosses then just that 1 dragon now. (not sure if blizzs vid works either though)
"binding" is a slight mechanic added in WOW that is there to make sure items never become currency. once an item is bound to a player it cannot be traded.
there are varying levels of binding,
on use (when u use it)
on equip (when u stick it on the body)
on pickup (as soon as u loot it)
iv never found a "bind on use item"..
"bind on equip" constantly and "bind on pickup" happes with good stuff.
almost every green item (green is like a magical item in Dii) as soon as u put it on, display goes "equipping this item will bind it to you, continue?"
one time i played an instance with some friends and took out a guy who always gives a purple ring (purple is like ... a rare i guesss,, but its more rare then rares in dii). i got the ring and it bound instantly
another PLus fo GW is the streaming patch.
most of the time when they add content it seems the game just needs to do a little downloading. in WOW the game needs to stop, download and install, the re-start.
also the 1 world makes GW super cool bc u can play with east--west no 50+ servers ... however that does mean raiding looks like an impossibility unless a raid territory is somehow created... END game WOW is all about raiding, thats the fun
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds-part2.html
the whole battlegrounds is a new land of quests and fighitng
"The quest actually needs to be performed by dozens of players, as the shaman requires hundreds of blood samples to be brought before him"
"Once you return the requisite number......(alliance) summons a mighty Ancient of WarBoth....(horde) summons an Ice Lord Elemental.... the Ice Lord and Ancient of War will be enormously powerful creatures, easily the equivalent of a raid boss, and will give their side a decided advantage in the battle to seize Alterac Valley."

ooh, I cant wait to get....WoW! Looks amazing, with all those new additions and stuff I doubt Id get bored soon.
Ah I see what binding is, in GW theres something like it, personalising I think and in everquest 2 you have to "attune" an item to use it, which then means you cant trade it.
