Comment: Always brings fond memories. Even through new expansions as I continued to return to the game. While the fan base has deteriorated and the expansions to date probably number in the thousands I feel the need to rate it based on the time closest to release. While the commercial success of WoW will probably never be matched, neither will this game's undeniable success as the original groudbreaker or it's social aspect when it was still young

Comment: EQ is the Marilyn Monroe of mmorpg. She's a 10, and will always be in our memory. But, she's also dead. WOW is better in many aspects, and in many ways what EQ should have been. But, EQ had something special that the newer games, no matter how hard they try, just can't reproduce. Planes of Power changed the game forever, everything went down hill from there.

Comment: Everquest was one of the best MMORPGs I have ever played. The only reason I stopped playing was, yes, it was addictive.
The thing that was really special about Everquest is that you would see things in game and just be astonished. I remember when I was level 20-ish and I saw someone riding their giant horse my heart would skip a beat. For the newer games there seems to be no more of that excitement.
Another one of my EQ memories was being in Everfrost with a group and taking more time to plan a kill then to actually do it. That's another aspect that's missing in modern games, there's no death penalty, and there's no planning whatsoever.
It's just a shame they came out with Planes of Power, that was the downfall of this great game.

Comment: Incredible. Other than it's lacking graphics (compared to most newer MMOs) it's an epic game, truely. If you don't have the computer to run EQ2, I'd say play this for sure. Though I'm a bigger fan to EQ2, I still have a place in my gaming heart for this baby. A 10 from me.

Comment: I give eq a 10 rate because of its "social aspect" anti socials and social rejects shoudnt be playing a MMO to begin with. And btw solo content there is mass amounts of solo content anyone saying there is not simply does not know how to play a toon correctly (any class can solo) If you know how to play your toon.

Comment: Too much expansions, they should have left it the way it was.
After the second expansion I stopped playing the game, it was costing too much money for no real reason... It was if with every new expansion, more and more of the fun was taken out of the game.

Comment: The only reson it gets a 10/10 is because it is the greatest MMO EVER!!!!! that is untill the xpacs started all the way up till Omens they were great but now you have people at lvl 75 with no clue how to play their class cause they use monster missions to lvl and so forth most of the crap that goes on in the game now is stupid. there are items for sell by people that a lvl 15 can easily get but becuase people dont go old world anymore they are selling them as ultra rares for 100k+ it sucks now but was once the GREATEST i will always rember my 8 years with a smile.

Comment: I was shopping around a while back because i wanted to leave RS behind and get a REAL MMO. Saw WoW, and I looked at the system requirements, and If I hadn't taken some aspirin that morning, I would have surely died of heart failure. My hopes were dashed. But...I saw EQ: Titanium Edition and thought..."Maybe there is still hope..."
I've played it alot, got a few good characters, and have taken some breaks from it 'cause hit a snag in funds and had work to do. But...I can safely say EQ has a community like NO OTHER. Everywhere you turn: LF Cleric, FREE 200pp to all people under lvl 5!,Come join our guild!, Need few more for raid!...This is what I LOVE in a game! A social element! A game that made me want to get on not because I wanted to level and find loot, but level and find loot...with friends. I have a guild that's like a frickin family to me (In fact we called the guild leader Mom or Momma Q). The combat, music, and design are a little lackluster, but I was too busy participating in huge raids and brewing contests to care. Unfortunately, thanks to WoW, GW, And others, the world is not as populated as it used to be, although a few servers have HUGE populations. I like the "force grouping" thing because you have NO choice but to make friends to succeed in EQ. And, by god, when my money comes around, I will either prolong this subscription or buy some hardware for EQ2.

Comment: I had first played this game back in November of 2001. I'll admit that it was definitly one of the BEST games out there avalible. A large world to explore, a great number of people to interact with. At one point me and every one of my friends were all on the same server, hunting together, hanging out and doing quests helping eachother out and just enjoying the game as a whole.
As expected time took gaming graphics to a whole new level and Everquest felt the need to keep up in a way. They shot out expansions like horny rabbits and it eventually just lost its touch that it used to have. I played not too long ago to see if I could get back into it. Besides my guild and raiding every weekend it just wasnt the same and I quit again.
I've noticed though that they seemed to have mad accomidations to those who aren't able to sit there 8 hours a day and pour time into it and have made traveling a lot more simple and tons more faster than taking the boats and begging for teleports, but now that I look back, that was one of the more fun parts. I'm sure there are still people out there who will find this a very fun game still. Its just to those who had played it when it originally came out that are kind of left disappointed with what it became. annnd thats my 2 cents

Comment: I think that EQ, like WOW, focuses on the expansions more than the game itself.I got platinum edition ad played it for 30 days but now I can't even look at it and thats why I give it 4/10.

Comment: Solo content is nil in this game. Grouping is practicalliy forced. Graphics in most zones are exceedingly out dated, gameplay is generally dull and lack luster. Constant expansions will keep a steady drain on your wallet. It does have its good points though. Server stability, if you find a good solid guild you'll have a blast as its the social aspect of the game that makes it worth while. Highend content while exceedingly time-consuming is very well developed and abundant.

Comment: Everquest was my second MMORPG and I loved it for about 6 months. It was highly social and grouping was the way to go as soloing is limited. The graphics were nice and got better as the game aged and expansions were add and my favorite expansion was the Lost Dungeons of Norrath because of the instanced missions. I ll always have fond memories of EQ.
