I remember reading this article in PC gamer, and this was the paragraph that got me excited... specifically the raindrops. At the end of the article there were instructions on how to apply for the Beta Test. I sent it in and then a little while later it arrived in the mail. I created a Barbarian Warrior named Korlaorf, made it to level 8 (mostly solo haha) in Blackburrow. On the last day of the Beta I went out to the Ice Giants, shot an arrow, and trained them back to the mammoth area and they just started slaughtering people... was the best EQ day of my life.

It's funny you bring that up, because so many things were rumored to be in the game that never happened, such as player houses, and rogues being able to lock pick into them and steal their treasures. I had a buddy IRL, we actually drove an hour out of town to get EQ day one, and his plan was to play a rogue and steal people's treasures, only to find out that never happened. He also put all his skill points into wisdom thinking it made his rogue wiser and he would steal better, LOL

I wish there were more silly rules in this game like that that people could some how figure out how to turn into a steady but not exploitable income haha

very cool...thanks for posting these. I have a really fuzzy memory of reading a computer magazine article in 1998 about the upcoming release of EQ...very very nostalgic to recall how I imagined the world and game might work.

also, as you all can see, there is nobody tab targeting in any of these screenshots. Is there anyone who still needs more evidence?

Those screenshots on the OP are golden, everquest shook the entire gaming industry when it came out. An till this very day, all the other mmorpgs have took something from it. Good stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
