Sony sold off the SOE to another company no longer owns EQ

so its obvious why everquest has such long term interest. Its because it satisfies existing in a fantasy land. Its one of the only games that does that for me aside from vanguard. It makes you feel like doing little things matter.

In WoW or other games it just seems like they dull your senses when it comes to giving you rewards. Its not really about existing, its about consuming content, getting the best of things. EQ is one of the few games where you can be content without leveling, where you can enjoy a game just as much at the middle as the end. Thats what it was up to the end of luclin, until PoP made the whole game top heavy. People need a reason to exist in these games, not just race to the end.

Nvm.

I'll just say one thing and keep it simple. If you're playing to get +something stats or levels then you're either playing it wrong or you're not enjoying it anymore. Find something new.

This is not directed at the person I'm replying to. I made a reply but then thought "You konw, I'm an ass****." So rather than babbling on into the winds, I'll just stop here.

i dont agree with what you say, I think that this is one of the few games where both options are viable forms of play ( you can joke around with friends and get nowhere and have fun, or raid camp items and have fun too.) its all about what you want to do.

Nothing new. PC games have been dumbing down, substituting eye candy for substance since the resurgence of the console platform. Hell the PC game itself is now a niche market.

Same here. In fact, just your mention of that made me laugh out loud again.

Everquest is the only game in which I've enjoyed the journey as much as the destination (and I'm entirely destination, results oriented by nature). I cannot say how it accomplishes this, I haven't really thought about it.

I have not found another game that felt the same way.

For me, it was the mixture of aesthetics (EverQuest was an impressive looking game for its time, considering its massive scope) and non-linearity. I was a big King's Field fan and EverQuest had a similar vibe, except now I was exploring a brand new world with hundreds of other people (I was in phase 3 beta) . It was my dream game, basically.

Vanilla WoW was the closest there was to a spiritual successor to EverQuest. It was certainly closer in feel to EverQuest than EverQuest 2 ended up being. It even had some zones, like Dun Morogh and Shimmering Flats, that were directly influenced by zones in EverQuest (EverFrost and Ro/Oasis). The only thing holding it back was the linear leveling structure that was forced on you via quest chains and instanced dungeons.

That said, if there was a vanilla WoW server that was as well-scripted as Project 1999, I'd probably be playing there, but I'd still be playing here, too.

God, King's Field 2. Maybe one of the best PS1 games. Soooooo good.

Im keeping my eye on Kronos (Kronos-WoW.com)

It looks promising but they have failed to meet release deadlines and I kind of feel like it will not come to fruition, or perhaps not in the foreseeable future.
