In my opinion, EQ is based (or very similar to) on DnD rules

"How do you think it would feel if ten years from now, your EverQuest character was on the cover of one of the most successful games of all time? For Tony Garcia, the scenario posed by this question is a reality. Better known in the community as Vhalen, one of his characters from his childhood D&D campaign was Lucan D’Lere himself. What’s more, many locations from the world we call Norrath, was directly inspired by that same campaign."

"ZAM: Let’s jump into something that most players don’t know anything about: your D&D campaign growing up. We’ve been told, by an inside source, that it actually played a role in the creation of EverQuest and EverQuest II lore. Can you elaborate?

Tony: It was when I first started working at 989 that I delved through the foundation lore and found it quite interesting to discover that a number of the locations and personalities were quite familiar to me. Sprinkled all throughout the world were parts of a few D&D campaigns that we ran during Junior High and up. Notable names like Mayong, Lucan and Opal were there as well as more obscure ones such as Father Estle, Beek Guinders and Zazoo. They, along with numerous others, brought back great memories that could not ever be revisited. But here they were, immortalized in a new world where some would take prominent roles and have a chance to face the challenges of hundreds of thousands of pc gamers. Some of the relationships and events from our pen and paper days would inspire Norrathian events. Included among them was the never revealed link between _a_o_ ___t__o__ and __c__ ___e__."

At the very least they were DnD gamers at some point.

Yeah, I don't see any difference between the old crowd in NFP and the new crowd in the EC tunnel. Same names, same alts, same mains.

On average, there appear to be a lot more people in EC tunnel though.

That's very cool that you found that. Through my experience in EQ starting in 1999, I always felt the D&D influence. But this really nails my point on the head.

Couple of patches ago, I added the trap evil eyes that would burst into gas spores. I do believe this was taken directly from d&d.

I originally made a Cleric in 1999 because in D&D they were ultra bad-ass. Second best melee fighter and plate armor, wicked spells.

I was disappointed by lvl 20 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
