I am currently getting ready to buy a 2nd EQ platnum.The first I bought from another retailor and it works find b arring me getting to understand it as I am used to another game which I played exclusively for 2+years.The only problem I encountered with EQ was that it took 3 days to download all the patches before I could play it for the first time.I used to play neverwinter nights and the tech wasn't compatable with my brand new computor with the latest tech so I changed. I found that it will take some getting used to and am gratefull for the tutorial
area they provide.

Great Game

Please do not base your opinion on this game by some wife who says her husband plays tomany video games, she failed to mention she has so much time on her hands to type up a stupid post about the greatest game their is(maybe she spends to much time on the internet)... this game is great but it can take you away from your family especialy if your wife is a naggy(you know what). just my 2cents

If you never want to have a significant other buy this game NOW!
I nearly divorced my husband over this POS. Thank GAWD he has more than 1/2 a brain & saw his compulsive tendencies could not manage such a terrible waste of time & chose his family over this mess. We're talking 11 hours passing by like it's a minute people. There is even a support group for the people who've lost loved ones to this scourge.
This game has NO END folks. Buy a freaking game with AN END!!!!! SO YOU CAN HAVE A FREAKING LIFE!
I guess this thing would be ok for someone who'd like to explore what it's like to be crippled, or terminally ill & has no family or friends to think of. Maybe it'd make a good game for dire enemies....
If so, have at it.
But be warned, this game is trouble for those with any sort of compulsive/addictive behaviors in their past----leading to a high probability of losing family, friends & relations w/your significant other.
You've been warned.

Boring game!

You will spend half of your time in this game waiting because the game is designed for you to wait to recover your ability to cast spells and to heal your character. The game also has many bugs in it which makes gameplay very frustrating.

Game runs fine, but why the hype?

First of all, to adress a previous reviewer: I have Windows XP and I've had zero problems running the game. It takes a bit to start up, but the gameplay itself is fine.

However, after listening for years to all the hype about Everquest, I'm very disappointed. I find this game to be really boring. I just don't see what the fuss is about.

QUOTE "There is even a support group for the people who've lost loved ones to this scourge."

My necro has a spell called scourge.

A great game, with lax tech support.

The tech support does leave much to be desired, however, the overall gameplay is very good. You don't have a mmorpg go 5 years+ by being crappy. And as for Paisley, maybe you might've tried playing with him occasionally, you contemptable harpy? Granted, that much time is excessive, but it probably would've seemed less like nagging and more like guidance if you'd actually gone along on the ride now and again. It's not a bad game. I play with my husband, and we have fun, and still have time for our afternoon walk.

Runs Fine, takes a while to install.

Game runs great, just takes a while to install. Biggest problem is that you can not be running anything else while it installs. But since windows reccomends that you not run anything else, we are all doing that already, Right?

There is little or no lag in the areas I have been to, and the graphics are definatley not sub par.

I started playing in 1998. They have a little feature in game that will tell you how 'old' your character ('toon) is. I remember when I looked at the 'age' of the character and saw 70 days. 70 days!? 70 days * 24 hours/day = 1,680 hours. What a tragic waste of valuable time in my life.

I pulled the plug. Lo and behold, I worked harder at work and was promoted not once, but twice. I met a woman and got married. I remodeled my basement/garage.

Do not bother with this game. The longer you play, the more demanding on your time it is. LIVE LIFE!
