This video made me feel so emotional running back through all of the memories that I had with Everquest. This game meant so much to me, I played from 2000 to 2007 and every once in a while thereafter. I miss it so much and I truly wish that they would remaster it and/or release EQ3. I just miss that incredibly rewarding gameplay that required you to get together with others and mutually benefit from being in a group/raid. You had to work together and the community was unlike anything else I have ever played. Basically no toxicity or hate. It was all about learning and having fun with friends from all across the world.

Yeah, its become bloated, and feels like a patch upon a patch upon a patch upon a patch. If they created a new game, based on this kind of gameplay, with a full world to explore with the same type of dangers for EQ, I'd be in immediately

Here's my experience of trying EQ for a few months having returned in Oct. The current game is an over complex but simple/low skilled repetitive thing. More buttons than flight simulator, 100's of spells (but a few basic types per class that you use) but it boils down to pulling, killing and managing aggro and lots of button clicking. There is no 'balance' to the game s you have new people and 20 year + veterans. This means the 'con' system is hopeless - some mobs under your level will eat you up due to their HP and dmg adjusted to characters with certain equipment and AA's which you may not have. The economy beyond lower levels is hopeless - most gear is no trade/drop so you are destroying it when you've moved beyond it. There are more currencies than you can remember, augmentations are a mess of types and there's a lot of monetisation. Rewards are often not matched to the challenge - example a no trade/no drop level 75 items for completing a heroic adventure with level 106-107 mobs. You get achievements for just walking into a zone you've not visited before (with little sense of achievement). You can get far more experience by playing the Overseer minigame (at level 95) much more quickly than the main game or quests. Lots of PP drains in the game in particular mercenaries. Lots of classes main abilities are trivialised - resurrection? Pay NPC. Corpse? Pay NPC to retrieve. Travel? Pay to travel from guild hall? Need healer? Mercenary at 300pp every 15 mins. You get the picture.

Just started playing again (f2p on live servers) and I swear, the trickiest stuff is the stuff that's so simple and taken for granted that no one even thinks to include it in guides. Sometimes it's bigger things like "where do I go after Gloomingdeep?" or "hey, this level 10 tutorial gear is a million times better than anything that drops in the places I used to play 20 years ago, so what now?" And sometimes it's little things, like spending ten minutes trying (and failing) to remember how to trade something to another player lol. Google was no help (results were all about trading kronos or tradeskilling). I played for 6 years, from classic launch to when I was finishing PoP progression in whatever expansion it was that had the dragon race and the lvl cap raise to 75. I have forgotten a ton of stuff in the last ~18 years, and the stuff I do remember is remarkably useless on live now lol.

EQ is the Living Legend. If i can suggest, make new classes and Races for the game in the new expansions, old player will like that and new ones too. My suggestion of classes is a Hybrid of Wiz/War class, "Spellsword" like that and a "Scout" class, a kind a especialist Ranger with the system type of rogues and Warriors, races like Drow can be it and introduce Crossbow in the game. For the Races, my suggest is the Freeblood race (Vampire), like EQ II. For the last, put the designers to work and put capes, cloaks and hoods costumes for the chars appearence. Make EQ new, interesting and update for"ever" guys. Good job and cya in Norrath.

Holy trinity back in early EQ days was Tank, Healer, CC or Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter. DPS was just there to speed up fights. When WoW came along CC was thrown out because tanking 20 mobs at a time made epeens grow massive, as did the corresponding AoE damage. I am not saying you are wrong because terms have different meaning in different contexts, but in the context of EQ you are wrong. That said, great video. Hopefully I can convince some friends to give up on their latest gaming debacle and come play EQ again with the help of this video.

posting this and only 1 minute in; I just started playing on Agnarr a day ago, AND it's my first time playing the game ever (played plenty "new school" mmo's), and I'm playing as an Enchanter and having a lot of fun. However, I heard that time locked progression servers like these will disappear after a while? I'm not even sure what they meant lol. My question though is if Agnarr would be a server worth playing on, or if new servers are better? kind of a broad question
@NerdNavigator
7 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure how they will disappear after a while. Even with Agnarr TLP open the Phinigel TLP server still has a high population. I think some might mistake the mass move from older TLP servers like Ragefire, Lockjaw to Phinigel when it opened as something about TLP servers not having sustainability in the population but I think they are discounting the huge selling point that Phinigel had (which Agnarr has also) in that it was the first "True Box Server" which many many people have wanted for years. Many don't like people that box multiple accounts and the True Box Server helps with that to a degree. I'd expect these two true box servers to be around for a very long time.

I'd recommend Firiona Vie, if you click the gear icon at the bottom left of the Everquest launcher and select Servers it will give you a server list with the population density. There are only 2 servers that are always "High" which is FV and Phinigel. Many players complain of dead servers and such and I believe its because they are playing on Low populated servers which Daybreak needs to correct with another series of merges. That said look into the Rule sets for Firiona Vie and Phinigel, they are both different. My money is on FV, I like the no drop aspect of it in which you can share items with your guildies and such as you get better upgrades.

That's a debatable subject, unfortunately EQ doesn't have sites like WoW does like warcraftlogs that people can upload to to get a collective parsing with the whole community. As such a lot of personal experiences get thrown in. In my experience in raiding, I'm normally among the top 5 or higher players on parses, sometimes in that #1 spot, sometimes not. I've yet to meet a rogue that I couldn't compare dps with. However others might have different experiences, perhaps I haven't raided with the 99th percentile of rogues, or someone else hasn't played with a decent monk. But I don't find Monks lacking.

Kinda makes me not want to play honestly because its just so much to catch up on. Its cool to run around though and see old content.

You will need the email to recover an account. I'd suggest trying to remember likely what ever email you had has been deactivated if you have changed emails BUT if its with like gmail, yahoo or something like that you can just recreate it as log as its the same address it will work. Then what you do is go through the "I forgot my Username" and they ask you for your email, you put in your email and they will send you a list of all accounts you had associated to that email. From there you do the forgot password with the username you believe was your account.... .... .... Or you just start a new account, EQ is free to download and all expansions but the last 3 are unlocked to the public and start the magical journey again on a fresh character.

On live servers (those that aren't time locked) any race/class combo is pretty much the same with a few small small benefits to like ogres who can't be stunned from the front. Races are more a cosmetic choice than a statistical one. Now on the time locked progression servers were stats are scarce they can matter. An Ogre warrior with its high str and sta will generally be a better tank than a gnome for instance but after about lvl 65 with planes of power stats start to cap and races start not being very critical.

They are definitely still working on the game, infact EQ just had a patch this week, general bug fixes and balance tuning. For instance with this patch they just added a new feature. You see some classes have abilities the don't cost any resources that are just spammed like every 8 seconds. They added a new feature that you can toggle these abilities to go off automatically now when auto attack is engaged. So ya they are constantly adding new things even outside of the expansion releases. As for EQ vs EQ2 ... I honestly don't know, I am not well versed at all in Eq2 perhaps someone reading this thats played both recently on active servers could tell you. But even two people playing just one of the games can disagree depending on what server they play on, I kinda go over that in this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1GylsoeQbpOBkmk EQ Patch Notes: forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-april-19-2017.239817/

The holy trinity of MMOs comes from EQ and it doesn't include DPS. It MAY be online that it includes dps , but that was written by some kid who has no clue what the fuck he is talking about. The term works for WoW because WoW doesn't use the third part of the EQ trinity which is utility / crowd control. If you were in a raid or group that had a Tank , and a Cleric (Druids and Shaman back in the day weren't good enough to main heal raids) and only DPS you were fucked. You absolutely needed someone to alter things. Either through slowing the bad guys attack speed, rooting/ mezzing adds , snaring, weakening, speeding up mana regen, Charming . So if you want to say Holy Trinity for other games that didn't rely on that type of shit thats fine. It is unacceptable if you say it about EQ .
