Reason to play Everquest classic:

1.to much time on your hands.
2.its overall the best MMO ever made (might not have the best grafic, but the game play is awsome)
3.to much time on your hands.
4.can paly with old friends you havent played MMOs with for the past 8-10 years again.
5.to much time on your hands.

-Classic EQ was fun.


That's why I would play here.

I would say the game difficulty is very easy to easy. Let's not fool ourselves the mechanics of EQ aren't exactly rocket science....or 5th grade science...

Cool. What game would you consider harder than elementary level, mr. savage? The entire point is that games are no longer designed to be even medium difficulty. They are all easy to.. very easy.

The way I see it is an evolution of gaming within the past 20 years.

First Generation: Very hard - hard difficulty
Most arcade games, TMNT: 1, Solstice, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads type games. No reliance on others for the most part. Games were death traps.

Second Generation: Medium difficulty
Ultima, Everquest, Dreamcast->ps2 ?. Possibly relying on others to make sure you do not die. Or other real players having the possibility of killing you.

Current Gaming: Easy, wow clones.
World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Rift, LOTRO.. etc.. etc.. etc. No reliance on others unless you *want* it. You can solo your whole career if you'd prefer and create instances where loot can be duplicated for your very own.

The most recent game I've played that provided any sense of difficulty was Fallout: New Vegas, on hard setting, on Hardcore mode, with small limbs perk. It still wasn't hard. Maybe if I had to go loot my corpse it would have been more difficult.

I look for hard games to play, and play them on hard. There aren't many games made anymore that are hard, but I consider Everquest at least medium.

Just because you have to put a ridiculous amount of time into Everquest, does not make it hard. Everquest was never hard, it was time consuming.

I said it was medium, and that's due to other people being able to put you in danger against your will. I'm pretty damn sure I'm good at Everquest, and I would consider it easy as well.

It's personal preference of what I consider games. Please continue arguing with me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
