R.I.P MMORPGs... 1999-2004

I'm paraphrasing here, but I think the statement was: "My cat shits in a sandbox. Doesn't mean I want to play in it."

No game is going to have that feeling for YOU. There will be a whole new generation of gamers whose minds are blown by EQNext. You only lose your MMO virginity once.

...wut? My first MMORPG was WoW, and then in 2011 I went to P99, and I love it...

The majority of people who cry about WoW ezmode are prolly same people who wiped their guilds 1000x to heroic raids by not dodging shit or half assing their DPS. Stop pretending like EQ is difficult, the only difficulty in classic EQ is having enough time to no life everything.

Yeah, couldn't agree more. EQ was difficult when no one had been playing MMO's for 15 years. Now its so easy, its just a grind fest really. But the diehards will still try to convince everyone else otherwise.

One of the few times HB and I agree. People who complain about ez-mode were never part of a good team/guild to raid or PvP with. WoW still blows EQ out of the water in terms of difficult content. WoW still blows EQ out of the water for PvP. I would love to see some of the scrubs in the thread compete at the level of 2200+ arenas TBC era. I would love to see the scrubs posting here be able to hang in Ulduar/ICC hardmodes or AQ40 in its heyday

Well boys, it's been a fun ride... I truly believed it was "possible" to re-experience what MMORPGs were like once: Believable alternate world, exciting,dangerous, huge social commitments, friendships, etc

First post on this Everquest forum is about Eve Online. I have a problem.

It has nothing in common "to WoW" ????



1. Orcs look like WoW orcs

2. Humans look like WoW humans


3. Graphics are cartoonish like WoW


4. Probably solo to max lvl without talking to a single player


5. No need to think while playing, just mash buttons faster (WoW)


6. No time to communicate, ur moving around so much while fighting





Yeah, there's NOTHING like WoW.
A bunch of anti-social players, it's all going to be a coincidence! Absolutely nothing inspired by WoW's culture of "quick, fast, Everyone is a HERO"




I dare you to prove to me that EQnext would be the SAME GAME if WoW had never launched??? ( oops, that would require thinking)

When have graphics ever mattered? you play EQ1 which looks like complete shit imo
