Let's look at 13 of 30 Amazon.com reviews from different individuals of the guide.
By the way, the guide's average Amazon rating of is 1 star
Quote:
- "Apocryphal, or at Least Wildly Inaccurate"
- "At first I thought this book was awesome... until I realized how many mistakes (in spelling, missing sections, inaccurate information, incomplete information, etc.) there were."
- "Can't compete with the FREE EverQuest web sites!"
- "It not half as bad that a lot of people have posted here on the online reviews. That said, there are far too many mistakes in the book to recommend it to new players of the game."
- "The maps are inaccurate, and the item tables are VERY incomplete with some magical items listed, but none of the usefull stats on those items are listed. Spells are listed, but casting times and damage amounts are wrong for many of them. The class iformation is wrong, in at least one case listing the wrong prime statistics for a class, which can seriously hurt you later later in the game."
- "Most of the information is not even correct. I was extremely dissapointed. Verant should make the publisher recall this book."
- "This is not a strategy guide... it is an attempt by Prima to reach into your wallet and remove [the amount of money] for nothing more than a pretty colored cover with the name EverQuest®, and Kunark."
- "You know it's a bad sign when the game publisher releases a statement denying any responsibility for the accuracy of the "official" strategy guide before the book publisher even has the guide on store shelves as was the case this time."
- "This book has several MAJOR flaws which make it not worth your money at all. First, a good portion of the information is downright wrong. Typoes abound, and zones have been switched from continent to continent." ((Lol, this one made me laugh))
- "Full of incorrect information that was obvious had the writers *ever* played the game at all. This is the *official* strategy guide backed by the publisher!"
- "If you can use your browser to read this review......then you can also use it to search for websites that have up to date and A-C-C-U-R-A-T-E information on the game of Everquest. To bad the folks who put this book together didn't try that first."
- "The facts are wrong. So why buy it?"
- "Please, for the sake of your sanity, run FAR away from this book. Save your money, buy 2 more months of EQ instead. Surf and search the web, byou will find more and better (and MORE ACCURATE) information."
