If You Need to Know....

If you need to know whether you would enjoy EverQuest, this is the purchase for you to start off with. You will get a good over-view of the game, the feel, the requirements (both time and expense-wise), and the cost is reasonable (comparatively speaking with other or past EverQuest costs). And the first month of the montly fee is free. But the graphics are just NOT up to today's standards. If you like the game, your next choice is to pay out the same amount of money for the "Luclin" expansion to get your graphics to something tolerable. Then the prices just go up from there. If you can play and enjoy the game without becoming an ADDICT, then I would say go for it. If you already know you want to play EverQuest, to the possible exclusion of everything else, then look for the higher end of packages and expansions currently available.

Misleading system specs

The System specs listed here are out of date. Since the Luclin expansion all users must have DX 8 and thus, Windows 98 or better.

********DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU RUN WIN95!!*******

Yuck!

Beautiful graphics (but if you have tech issues- forget it! (Sony loves to play the 'it's someone else's fault' game), some interesting features- but its the players that make this truly bad... Imagine a world of wizards and warriors all played by pushy, obnoxious 11 years olds, and you get a taste of EQ (or Ever Crack as some call it). Odd thing...Found the game very frustrating.

Staring at a wall might be a better use of time...

Classic Everquest for the die hard

It consumes my thoughts both when I am awake and when I dream. However, why do I feel like I'm running in place and not getting anywhere? After the first 2 hours it all seems the same. I always think there will be something new but there never is. But I still play...

We are in there world now!

Well as the title says we are in there world now.. This is a play on Verant's catch phrase for Everquest: "You are in our world now", and that single phrase wraps it up in a nut shell.

Everquest is a highly challenging, highly energetic, and highly addictive game. You spend many many frustrating and rewarding hours online trying to develop your characters story and traits. You face many dangers and gain tons of unique items to increase your stats.

And for those that are truelly into the extreme RP experience Everquest allows you to create an alternate life with other "real" people across the world..

I highly advise you purchase this or the upcoming Planes of Power gift set (this according to Verant's web site will include the core game and all three of the updates).

One part inovation, four parts blunder... Neverquest!!!

I have played this game for a period of time, and my review of this package is not good. Actually, it is down right awful. When the package was first released it had promise. Please note, I said 'had'. Playing solo in the world is not possible without hooks, crooks, gouges, and the like. The premiss of the game is to kill, PERIOD!! You can do anything really interesting without killing. Meaning, if you want to make a character that is an armorsmith, you would have to go out into the world and kill untill to made enough exp to level and then take enough time and spend enough Gold pieces to make an item that is for a character 5-15 levels below you, THEN the item can be sold back to a vendor at a 10%-50% loss (What a plus!). Not only that, but the best items in the game can't be made, they are found on the bodies of the huge creatures I mentioned earlier.

Verant's idea with this game is to keep you online as long as possible. Long medding times, ubber creatures that can't be killed by small groups, lack of a real economy, broken quests, ect., ect., ect. In some places the world itself is broken (I actually ended in a room with a cat's face on all the walls *this was not a part of the player world*). If you like MMORPG's, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!! Look at Dark Ages of Camelot.

If short, this WAS a good game that went HORRIBLY WRONG!!!

Thanks Verant!!! Next time just give us a paper cut, and pour Gasoline in it... then light it.

An unjust God allowed Everquest to be...

I bought Everquest under the delusion that I would be connected to a wonderful world. Well it was real looking and some of the people were really nice, but...THERE IS NOTHING TO DO. You spend all of your time running around killing bats, and pumas. If you even manage to get to level 13, you have to wait till level 25 to do a quest. Anyone who knows anything will tell you that takes a long time. I have a pretty good attention span but even I can't take just killing creatures for months. I needed a plot or a goal. I wanted quests for God's sake, quests. Anyway, I do not recomend this game. May God have mercy on those who are stuck with this game.

EverQuest is a great game

all these people who say EQ will ruin your life or become your life, have no lives. I have played for awhile now and Being of at least half-minded, I can tell the difference in a game and reality and therefore do what they say is impossible and turn the game off. I am not a victim of Eq like everyone else claims to be. IF YOU HAVE ANY SELF CONTROL, YOU CAN PLAY EQ AND HAVE A NORMAL LIFE TOO. REMEMBER PEOPLE IT'S ONLY A GAME, FOR GODSAKE, JUST TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF. BUT YES I RECOMMEND THIS GAME IT IS FUN.....

I have seen the future-and it works!!

The size and scope of this game is just amazing. It is not perfect but it is, in my opinion, the first successful massive on line role playing game out there. It is so BIG, ambitious and varied that it is almost impossible to see everything and do it all. This is also a social experience:I have made friends from many different countries and cultures. Working in a group of six-an American(me!), 2 Germans, a Swede, a Chinaman and some guy who didn't even speak enough English to let his team mates know where he was from-is a LOT of fun. I think the future of gaming belongs to concepts like EQ-perhaps the next generation will bridge the gaps of language, nation, region and culture via this new medium of communication.
