EQ was EPIC, up until they started putting in teleports everywhere and once that damn bazaar hit. Before all that, it was an awesome game that actually had amazing LORE and followed it until they had to put in more LORE. I would literally zone out and feel like I was in the game.
EQ = a pure 100% fantasy based MMORPG. WoW is not that, it didn't have the dragons, mountain giants, etc etc based on fantasy books.
I hope I don't sound rude here, but I used to play MMO's a lot when I was younger. I'm 30 now and Play Everquest 2 on my free time, but I can't help but notice that these guys talk as if Everquest is their whole life. It's kind of pathetic to me. There's more to life then sitting on the computer playing eq and stuffing you're face eating Cheetos, getting fat, because you are not getting any exercise.
How many people do you know- your own age- who treat football, or baseball, or some other sport as the be all and end all of existence during the season - or during the final games of the season?
How is that any different than someone being interviewed About their gaming experience to respond in a similar tone?
And then there are those who DO live the game, because for whatever reason(s) they can't take active part in a normal life. (disabled)
@eslake yes i guess you got a point. Sorry for my original post. i didnt mean to come off sounding like a total asshole. its just i see people play these games and its their whole life, its like the real world no longer exists. Believe me I'm a big gamer myself, I play eq2 4 days a week, but I also make sure I get out and be around people in real life too.
I remember playing the original EQ on the nameless server,and the community was amazing.People actually made an effort to talk to everyone.When I played WoW,nobody ever payed attention to me...it seemed kind of lonely.I met the craziest,nicest people on this game! Days weren't always spent leveling,but just goofing off!There was so much to do!
ive always found EQ to be much more interesting than WoW. warcraft looks like a disney cartoon personally and seems too mainstream with loads of 12 and 13 year olds playing it.
@SunshineS0ldier You do realize that this game is over 10 and a half years old, right? Imagine the jump in graphical engines just 3 years after it was released. This game laid the foundation and was the originator for what you consider a "WoW-Like" game today. Nothing will ever come close to EverQuest to. Never again will you see a game as fun, involved and with an awesome community like EverQuest did.
@ToXiN06 i think we will i think if the original developers was to get together and redo the game engine i think EQ1 could be rereleased i say there is a huge huge population waiting for this
@SunshineS0ldier yeah yeah what ever dude the games attention grabber isnt the graphics its the QUALITY!!!! the games player base is so awsome and what you have to do level up is awsome there is no such thing as soloing in this game not unless you are max level with the best gear you had to be in groups
I find it interesting that anywhere there is EQ posts online, there is this big argument about EQ vs. WoW. For being outnumbered like 50 to 1, I'd say the EQ side is doing a pretty good job arguing their case :)
trends aren't a good way to determine what game is better.
WoW wasn't groundbreaking. EQ was.
EQ was the first 3d MMO and almost every feature in WoW was seen in one form or another in EQ.
So EQ in my opinion contrary to yours, is better on the basis of originality and ingenuity. It was made on technology that stretched the limits, whereas WoW was conveniently made after 6-7 others had already preceded it. so gg
It's interesting how people assimilate the characterisitcs and labels associated with their characters. I know on Word of Warcraft there's some discussion on what personality types are attracted to which classes/sides. Interesting vid.
Analysis and calculus are dull, plus it takes less then a week to learn either if you are really smart.. maybe a few months if you are a dumbass. So what then? Eh, it's a fun game, keep your stupid comments to yourself.
I like cartoony graphics, but I'm not that fond of Warcraft. Haven't really found a good outlet yet. I've tried EQ, EQOA, EQII, WoW, WAR, and various free mmo's. Nothing really suits me. I wish True Fantasy Live Online hadn't been canceled.
Oh yeah, I also played DAoC for a while. It was okay, but I could never level my character, and it felt dead. I dunno, maybe all MMO's are just dead, and me, being 18, will never see a good MMO. and with crappy games like AoC being the only shit that comes out, that's highly likely.
man you youngins' these days are so hard to please. When EQ1 first came out i was just a wee little lad. We had blocky crappy polygon graphics, but we loved it, because there was nothing better :)
Look, it's just that the golden age of MMO's has long since passed. There will never be the 300 man RvR of DAoC, or the 40 man MC of WoW. There's nothing good about MMO's anymore. I mostly play retro games now.
I've tried UO, DAOC, Asheron's Call, EQ, & WAR, I think among them, UO and EQ really are pioneers in their era, I think that no other games/ MMOs (so far) in the sense of originality, the class, the game settings, and all that stuff, are better than these 2.
sepcially EQ "forces" everybody to unite and do ONE great thing like raids, we are talking about hundreds of players hello, this is just amazing!!!!! I'll never forget that....(EQ is so hardcore though..)
eq is nothing like it used to be back when it first came out.. no game has gave me the same feeling since then.. maybe it was because i was 13 when i started.. but eq was my life but now i grew out of that
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
jesus people wake up this is sad and lame; thankfully I stopped playing video games when Mario Bro's 3 was hot... I mean cant u see how this is lame? a game you cant win; paying a monthly fee to play it; and its addictive lol... how can you see this isnt sad and lame? I am so happy I am not into video games anymore thank god; coz this shit here these pay per month role player games r so fvcking lame...
your looking at it all wrong man. very negative.if you have a job 15bucks a month aint relevant(besides how the economy is running). subsitute your zombie brain T.V watching, for a game where you use your mind to build your character,........ i think from that prospective.......its more productive.. it doesnt mean you waste your life away. you can still make music,party,find girls ect.
love WoW players that bash on EQ.. respect where MMOs come from, EQ is the god father of all MMOs, you owe some respect to the genius designers that layed down the foundation for WoW.
Check out EQClassic you old EQ Vets, it's gonna be EverQuest as it was meant to be (1999-2001). over 1755 people have signed up. Say hi on the welcome forums!!! :P
they were showing the very FIRST everquest(i played it2) thats why they didnt like the graphics now its just amazing and ya my first time was like the guy in the flannel shirt i just say like 6 ppl dissapear infront of me.
haha well i think your funny..anyways im leaving a comment to say im sick of reading the forums about eq dying...its prob the best game ever made hands down and if people were smart they would quit gay wow and come back and stop bitching u guys say how great the game is then play it...damn it wont die anytime soon people will get sick of wow and the other mmos and come back home thats just how it is ....shadowbolt..of stromm
But now i play GUILD WARS, and its soo fun, and its free like EQ. And soon theyre giving out Guild Wars 2, which i hope gonna be awesome. But still sorry for the things ive sayd, its a classic i guess, and who can forget about Super Mario, RuneScape, and more like that.
everquest is still unparralleled... i'm actually reactivating my account tonight going to enjoy some fun on the combine server ;) sony has really done a good job updating the graphics engine and the old zones... to attract new customers as well as old customers.. but i'm still an old model player though... EQ RULES.. lets bring it back ;)
Wow this is lib antisemite terrorist propoganda.We need 2fight the iranins in iran so we dont have 2fight thm hre.Ulibs need 2b detained untl ucan prove u r not a teroist.Ifany iraqi tries 2take myFREEDOM I will blowup his cave cmd cntr.IranNchina hve been stckpling WMDs2 useaginst us an our Israeli friends in th form of a mushroom cloud in th global wr n terror.When market crash and final nuke/bio battle come we need worldgovt+world bank+hive mind+every1 get microchip so prs bush cn kep us safe
Well i regret what ive sayd, and i no longer play wow. But it just the grapich in EQ is too bad, offcourse a game can be good without grapichs, but it does have a lot to do.
And i still think that guy in the red shirt's body langauge is pretty funny, he looks kinda retarded in some points.
But i downloaded EQ, just to test it, and it wasnt too bad.
I'm pretty sure WoW players look exactly the same as EQ players :) Most likely, former EQ players are recent WoW players and... well... WoW & EQ players are regular people with no extreme make-up and photoshop. Plus... WoW would be nothing without EQ. EQ is the legendary MMO; Blizzard got their basis game-play off EQ. You can tell.
People dotn really play eq anynmore anyway, get over it little prick. OF course WoW is better, until the new gen games come out and kick it out of the map, wait a few years. Took a LONG time before games kicked EQ out of the map.
Its not from a 1,000 years ago you ass, its not even the same planet. And if you don't get it your a jack ass, the fun of it is the cornyness. And obviously they know that they are not their charector. Its called fun. I bet you put on your fav. bands shirt on or something when you go to a concert (just on example) I thought the video was quite entertaining.
this is depressing to see grown people acting like this... grow up! shit.. get a life, go outside stop dressing up and acting like ur some douchebag from 1,000 years ago. u havent done anything, u play a game. ur not ur character and what is this shit about Paris what the fuck. and i think it is so sick to see roleplayers and all the eq2 lingo and racial jokes, it embarrasses me to hear that shit. i dont see how a person with a family and i job could let themselves go like that.
why are you dis'n somebodies hobby? I agree that fan faire takes it to far, so does playing more then a 2-3hours a night, but roleplaying games and such are great hobbies, its a shame that the youth like you are just instant gratification junkies, these people could be out shooting up heroin they're not they are doing something they enjoy.
What its depressing to see people happy? Seems like you are the one that is depressed not these people! I only see joy on their faces, and perhaps its a bit of jealousy that makes you so depressed. Growing up does not mean going to work coming home downing a beer and going to bed, its better to keep your youthful imagination, and hobbies, life becomes fun and enjoyable!
Vanguard is a PIECE OF SHIT, get the fuck off our videos you lame ass MMO bandwagon jumper. You and your economy hacking, duping shitty ass bugged game that was SOLD back to Verant
iirc EQ had economy hacking, duping, the selling of NO DROP gear as well thru its lifetime. So what if it was sold back to Verant...Verants a great company they have managed to keep an out of date decrepit game such as EQ afloat and continue to get the suckers left on its' money. I mean really the game ran outta ideas after PoP.
Looking to play a really fun, completely free mmorpg? Google Rubies of Eventide about a 300 mb download fastest place is filefront. com, links at eventide. net Funnest server halberd, completely unmoderated and free for all pvp with global chat, game is more of a traditional d&d type with 100+ class's to choose from, and skill development is unhinderd any class can do any skill. Click my name to watch a vid. Also check out Rpgmaker xp it lets u create yout own "snes" type games.
hmmmm...I wonder what you look like? They look normal to me. Not everyone looks like they could be on a mtv video you know, where do you people come from? All over you tube I see the youth do nothing but insult and flame, you are the ones with no life.
did i offend you? must have.. otherwise you wouldnt have responded to this.. tisk tisk.. to bad. and just for the record since your to dumb to tell. i wasnt flaming i was making an observation kthnxbye
all gamers are cool but xbox(the console) is lame. im not insulting gamers, im insulting the game system. unless ur some moron who isnt a gamer and just got an xbox(shitbox) for blody sports games
Think of all the days, all the weeks, months, god have mercy, years you must've spent on EQ, WoW, RTS, the list is endless.
It ain't going anywhere, and you're allowing it to drag you along with it. Start writing music. Start painting or drawing. Learn physics. Do judo. DO SOMETHING. Get out of it, guys. I'm tellin you. Get out of it.
Don't be sitting in a retirement home in the future with nothing left to look back to except gaming.
Yeah...thats true but you can also do both...also not to mention some people not all that are THAT into games and MMORPG will make some when they get older with companies and become rich but not all.
Gaming is a hobby, some people like to watch tv or movies, I don't see you saying this stuff to them, when they are just passive, gaming is an interactive hobby done for entertainment, most people will watch less tv and game instead, that doesn't mean they don't do productive things, I game, work 50hrs week, goto night school, play guitar have GF, and still find the time to game!
Wow.. this is so interesting and a great "slice of life" view of this subculture. I'm not a gamer myself, but I can definitely see parallels between gaming addiction and Internet addiction (which I currently suffer from:P). I'm very interested in the theme of escapism and the intensity of a virtual reality.. I have a hunch that those who have social anxiety or have introverted tendencies are more receptive to such.. but who knows. Interesting stuff, anyway.
No, "noob". I'm 18, I've been around. WoW can suck my balls. Horrible. Rofl? Look at your "Real life WoW" vid, sad. I'm an RTS fan and do not give a shit about your "Everquest", you "NOOB" Sp4wn. 27 year old.

Its not from a 1,000 years ago you ass, its not even the same planet. And if you don't get it your a jack ass, the fun of it is the cornyness. And obviously they know that they are not their charector. Its called fun. I bet you put on your fav. bands shirt on or something when you go to a concert (just on example) I thought the video was quite entertaining.

this is depressing to see grown people acting like this... grow up! shit.. get a life, go outside stop dressing up and acting like ur some douchebag from 1,000 years ago. u havent done anything, u play a game. ur not ur character and what is this shit about Paris what the fuck. and i think it is so sick to see roleplayers and all the eq2 lingo and racial jokes, it embarrasses me to hear that shit. i dont see how a person with a family and i job could let themselves go like that.

why are you dis'n somebodies hobby? I agree that fan faire takes it to far, so does playing more then a 2-3hours a night, but roleplaying games and such are great hobbies, its a shame that the youth like you are just instant gratification junkies, these people could be out shooting up heroin they're not they are doing something they enjoy.

What its depressing to see people happy? Seems like you are the one that is depressed not these people! I only see joy on their faces, and perhaps its a bit of jealousy that makes you so depressed. Growing up does not mean going to work coming home downing a beer and going to bed, its better to keep your youthful imagination, and hobbies, life becomes fun and enjoyable!

Vanguard for the win.
metalbill72 4 years ago
Vanguard is a PIECE OF SHIT, get the fuck off our videos you lame ass MMO bandwagon jumper. You and your economy hacking, duping shitty ass bugged game that was SOLD back to Verant
pvthudson01 4 years ago
iirc EQ had economy hacking, duping, the selling of NO DROP gear as well thru its lifetime. So what if it was sold back to Verant...Verants a great company they have managed to keep an out of date decrepit game such as EQ afloat and continue to get the suckers left on its' money. I mean really the game ran outta ideas after PoP.

You probably cant run it. You sound like a disgruntled Tradeskiller anyways.

EQ RULES
Elendril2 5 years ago
You guys really gotta search your goals.
Think of all the days, all the weeks, months, god have mercy, years you must've spent on EQ, WoW, RTS, the list is endless.
It ain't going anywhere, and you're allowing it to drag you along with it. Start writing music. Start painting or drawing. Learn physics. Do judo. DO SOMETHING. Get out of it, guys. I'm tellin you. Get out of it.
Don't be sitting in a retirement home in the future with nothing left to look back to except gaming.

Yeah...thats true but you can also do both...also not to mention some people not all that are THAT into games and MMORPG will make some when they get older with companies and become rich but not all.

Gaming is a hobby, some people like to watch tv or movies, I don't see you saying this stuff to them, when they are just passive, gaming is an interactive hobby done for entertainment, most people will watch less tv and game instead, that doesn't mean they don't do productive things, I game, work 50hrs week, goto night school, play guitar have GF, and still find the time to game!
Nodieus27 4 years ago
Wow.. this is so interesting and a great "slice of life" view of this subculture. I'm not a gamer myself, but I can definitely see parallels between gaming addiction and Internet addiction (which I currently suffer from:P). I'm very interested in the theme of escapism and the intensity of a virtual reality.. I have a hunch that those who have social anxiety or have introverted tendencies are more receptive to such.. but who knows. Interesting stuff, anyway.

No, "noob". I'm 18, I've been around. WoW can suck my balls. Horrible. Rofl? Look at your "Real life WoW" vid, sad. I'm an RTS fan and do not give a shit about your "Everquest", you "NOOB" Sp4wn. 27 year old.
