Even if you convince people to play, if they really don't have any desire to play they won't last long or really have fun doing it.

Ask to install it on his computer so you can 'show him' project 1999 and run him around a few areas that you used to play in. Leave it on his computer and tell him how to get an account. Then once in a while when you go over to his place show him something else you've seen or done since you were there last. If he is interested enough to eventually play, he should be interested enough to have you show him stuff you are doing.

I dont know your brother but maybe some alcohol + old stories would work.

This is exactly how I got my RL friends to play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Mix it in with some old school screenshots on a smartphone etc and you've got him in the bag.

One thing though. When he logs in and starts leveling, he's going to feel like it's taking alot longer than it did back in the day. Assure him this feeling is normal, and make sure to toss him some plat every once in a while for those "zomgineedthisiteminECnow!" moments.

I kind of feel bad for your brother. There really isn't a harder or deeper mmorpg in existence. Trust me, I've played pretty much all of them... this is kind of what I do. EMUs are where the very best gamers in the entire world are congregating now, and there will be legends made here.

There are a few elements that Everquest is missing, such as unconsentual pvp and a true skill-based leveling system (such as evidenced in Darkfall or Oblivion), both of which I feel add a massive amount of excitement and playability... however, the unparalleled depth of Everquest more than makes up for the lack of these two mechanics.

And WoW is just Everquest for Complete Idiots. I don't really consider people who play WoW to actually be gamers. They are more potential gamers who badly need to be awakened.

You could get a cooler brother...

I personally think WoW's pvp was exceptional compared to EQ's pvp. Can't blame someone for wanting some pvp with a smidgen of balance and quality.

Also, I find it funny that we get on our high horses and praise our beloved EQ when we are playing an emulation of EQ that follows a very, very short span of Everquest's runtime. Everquest itself turned into "Everquest for idiots" otherwise you'd be playing live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

WoW PVP is not balanced in my experiences.

It is a constantly evolving and changing landscape of "this class is OP" and then the next patch it makes "that class OP".

Flavor of the month power struggle...not balance.

I agree it had many flaws, I merely said it was head and shoulders above anything in EQ.
