Everquest

MilitantB0B · 2003-07-30, 02:05 PM

Does anybody know if this is a good game? I have limited my self to 2 Pay to Play games at a time. I figured PS will be my action packed p2p game, now I need an RPG p2p. I am sick to death of DAoC, so I come here to ask you guys how Everquest is.

Also, can anybody toss me a link to a good everquest site that gives description of the classes and races and stuff like that. Thanks.

Avoid this game at all costs. It's fun for the first month, then it gets boring but you can't quit because it's THAT addictive.

Geez, Well then, since everquest is satan, what MMORPGs would you suggest? Anything but DAoC.

As fun as you make that sound

I was looking for more of a traditional RPG, where you control a person, not a ship. If anyone knows of a good replacement MMORPG for DAoC please let me know. I am really sick of DAoC, but I don't ditch it just cause I like MMORPGs, I despretly need an alternative.

I suggest that while you wait for WoW that you try this game called runescape. It's got lame graphics, but it's a cool game. Watch out for the people though, some are really nice, but lots of people are bitches, too.

WoW doesn't intrigue me. I heard that there is little to no PvP action.

What about SWG? Good? Not Good?

I played E&B for 5 days. It's really good if you like really repetative stuff. The places look AMAZING, but getting around the game and doing missions can be extremely SLOW and BORING.

<sigh> is there no good MMORPGs?

I personally enjoyed EQ. And I have friends that still play. I only gave it up because I wanted to keep my wife and life.

It's a very addicting game. I hate to admit it, but i am intrigued by EQ2.... I am worried it will suck my life away as did EQ

I say if you are thinking of EQ, then try it. But heed our warning....very addictive. That's why it has been dubbed "EverCrack"

As for any other MMORPG, I suggest waiting for WoW. I am going to look at both. But it all depends on what you are in for. If you want PvP action then I suggest another, ShadowBane. However I left SB because it was too buggy. If you want RPG action then wait for WoW.

What makes EQ more addictive then DAoC?

My mom is going to buy Everquest:Evoloution as we speak

�io · 2003-07-30, 04:12 PM

I say get it and simply use a little thing called restraint. I've never played but the BOHICA gang is gonna get into it soon and i'm anxious because the only bad thing i keep hearing about EQ is how addicting it is and that is NOT a bad thing.

MilitantB0B · 2003-07-30, 04:17 PM

Everybody says that it keeps you addicted long after it stops being fun. I know that most MMORPGs have that quality. What makes EQ soooo much more addictive then something like, oh say, DAoC?
