Personally, I've been wanting to run an in-game role-playing game. No need to play-by-post, and the game already has "dice" (/random) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

However, I wouldn't want to run AD&D 2E. If I had that "old school role-playing" itch I'd do AD&D 1E, or Basic D&D ... but really I wouldn't want to run D&D at all, because there are so many other great RPGs out there, and I'd want to run one of them.

I think they still do it on the SA forums. I saw it there decades ago, I guess some folks are still at it.

I was pleased to learn after my long break that there's a good set of online tools out there now. Would have been all over it in the late 90's if I could have. We used Roll20 which was okay, I'm sure there's others.

I'd love to play online again, or in person, but too much RL stuff at the moment.

All editions of D&D are like that, it's just that more modern editions (eg. 3E) added things like Charisma-based casters.

But even way back in basic D&D you had Fighters (tanks), Rogues (DPS ... sort of; they were more about the lock picking and trap-disabling back then, but they did have backstab), Wizards (Int casters) and Clerics (Wis Casters).

P.S. But yes, 2E was the main edition when EQ was being made, so if it's based on any one edition it'd be 2E.

Too much mental illness here.

Play Neverwinter Nights. The old 2002 game not the new one. It's not 2e but it's a good representation.

But Neverwinter Nights has a great multiplayer community and unique servers. I never played the single player campaigns, I jumped straight into the multiplayer servers.

IDK you might want to look up the history of DND I think it was a big part of 2nd edition to design the fantasy classes like that, and is a lot more like EQ than 5th edition or pathfinder IMO and came about in like the late 80s afaik not while everquest was around.

Like i think rounding out the tolken fantasy characters into Wis/int/dps/tank was a first in 2nd edition. And indeed what EQ design is called out as being inspired by specifically.

Quote:
In the original Dungeons & Dragons boxed set, there were only three main classes: the Cleric, the Fighting man, and the Magic-User.

The first supplement, Greyhawk, added the Thief as a fourth main class, as well as the Paladin as a Fighting Man subclasses and AD&D 1st edition introduced a few more.

The 2nd edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons attempted to streamline what had become a hodgepodge of rules that only applied in specific cases in 1st edition.

As such, it sought to simplify the rules and straighten out contradictions. Character classes were divided into four groups or "metaclasses": Warrior, Wizard, Priest, and Rogue in 1989
Oh yea, btw if you're gonna run a D&D campaign inside of EQ use this!:
