I wish I could find the game review episode but there are some gems in there. "does it metabolize or consume food". Man that lady was stretching to get some seconds on TV.

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.

November 2015

MMOs are dead. Not playing anything aside from an occasional ARAM in League.

RL friends: "Hey dude you really should come check out P99. We started characters there its super fun."

Me: "Hmm, I had always heard about Everquest when I was playing Asheron's Call in 99-04 but we always laughed at it because AC was clearly the superior game."

RL friends: "Man c'mon just try it. It will be like an ode to another old school MMO."

Me: "Ok, what is the most difficult class to play that we need in our composition?"

RL friends: "Enchanter."

Over five years later, I'm still here.

My neighbor had it first. He had a friend in middle school that also had it that was the only person in real life I knew that hit 50, and then 60.

He played on E-Marr so thats the first server I played on. He told me the red server was evil and bad and not to click on it. I eventually did when E-marr was down for some reason and I couldn't log there.

Played at his house for a while. He was really tolerant of me playing at his house for way more hours than he did. I owe him for not punching me in the face and telling me to GTFO. Damn if I could remember my very first toon on his accounts name. If I could remember that name it would be my guy forever. My first ranger on my own account is one of my permanent names though. My first character on my BROTHERS account (we got him Kunark for his birthday) was a dwarf paladin named Nield or Neild a name stolen from the star wars jedi apprentice series of the time [You must be logged in to view images.
