Do you remember why you played EQ?

[Nachtsuchen]

My old man got me into EverQuest when I was a small human bean, when EQ first came out. We left around the time of GoD. When I got a bit older to genuinely understand and appreciate the game, I came back in 2014 on Blue on and off. Still playing to this day on Green.

That said, my reasoning for it? Immersion. The RPG of the MMORPG has been lost and forgotten by most vidya these days. People rush to endgame for the very best of the best through min-max strategies, but to me, gaining levels is a happy consequence to a good adventure. Nothing quite sates it, plus the graphics and world is very charming to me. This and City of Heroes are my absolute favorite games of all time, hands down. Perhaps Asheron's Call might do it right, but who knows. At least EQ will always be here, and that's okay.
