This brings back memories of not being able to sleep until I found my corpse! Just having to either get it myself or give permission for someone to drag it to the zone line is unforgettable! Lol Then summon corpse and Rez stones were invented!!! I wish I had the time to play now. Maybe one day again!
Anyone still playing? I stopped years ago. I can't imagine how strong some players re now. There hve to be people one or two shotting those hill giants in that one zone..or that pain in the ass corrupted unicorn r horse
Nothing can describe the epic that everquest was. Maybe because an MMO was a real novel idea back then. Still, nothing can describe the attachment I felt for my guild, or playing online with my family. Learning your flying kick skill for the first time. Camping out for some fat lute, maybe a flowing black silk sash, or a cloak of flames, or a fungi tunic, or a dreaded piece of your characters epic quest, waiting for 6 hours, falling asleep on the keyboard.. missing it..
@WolfenFoust in high school I was talking about EQ with a buddy in class, and our football team's quarterback asks "hey man... you guys play EQ??". It was classic.
EQ was such a grind and a pain to actually find the quest. No icon above there head, oh no! You had to "Hail" the NPCs and follow along with their dialog and ask questions accordingly. You actually felt like you accomplished something! Ahhh, the memories. EQ, you are sorely missed.
@TheToekutter Rations and Mana.... this is most likelly to show the ubber n00bs and people typing so fast because they we're scared the crap out to see the tank go pull when you we're OOM! (out of mana!)
@justintrr lol im pretty sure the mispronunciation of the two words are just a result of the guy's accent.
the "manana" joke in the beginning is fantastic though, and is what you're talking about. though i think everyone has done that sort of thing at least once.
I remember playing back in 2000 and I was a Paladin ( Big mistake) and I remember getting out into Qeynos Hills and leveling up, then a wolf came by and started biting me and I see this Holly Windstalker comming over and I was like YEssss an npc to kill it, and she kills me and tells me to not touch the wolves...I miss this game, the raids, grouping after the raids so you can get your exp back..lol good times.
Lol i love how the human ask the gnome what he sees. In EQ humans without light source shouldnt see crap at night. Thats a reason i made a Ogre war for the Ultra Vision and no stun from front.
I miss EverQuest, and certain songs and things give me insane flashbacks leaving me with a craving as powerful as any drug addiction. But luckily (for my life's sake), as much as I cherished those times playing EQ, I cannot get them back since times have changed--I'll always have the memories. No idea how that game had the effect it did.
"now everything cons red now when i play" - hahah him an his loser buddy have no other choice then to stick together... thats what made this game great!
Brings back memories of CB and the Ambassador DVinn that everyone always tried to get but he whooped us so often! "Hey, we can take him... he may drop the dirk!" That thing was such a huge prize! /OOC WTS DIRK 70pp OBO pst! Those were the days.
@krozareq not really. The EQ2 community is great. I owuld agree with you otherwise though. most communites these days are nonexistant, but the eq eq2 ones are still alive and kicking.
@Trueflights can you tell me how to get out of tut no guides say exactly how to get out i got the kobald charm and when i create a char when i click dont put me in tut it still does?
3:58, I laughed until I cried, because it's so true. You meet someone and go on some adventure that bombs out horribly, like crossing Antonica at level 10, where you spend hours just trying to get from one point to another for no reason at all, dying constantly and having a terrible go at it. And yet, at the end, you're friends for life and want to meet up to play again.
'99 was a hell of a year, boys and girls. I'm sorry for you because you have never, nor will you ever know, the true wonder and magic that was the early days of Everquest. It's never ever going to happen again. It's like Elvis or the Beatles -- if you weren't there, you can only pretend to know. What you play now is polished and tailored to sell en masse, ala Kesha or your common computer-animated fart-and-burp-joke kid's movie of the month. EQ was a secret club, and you missed the fk out.
for sure =) i havent played since 2005 and im back now =) or will be at the 15 and alot of friends aswell. And this topic is the first ever time i post on youtube :P but spreading the word might pull some extra ppl to the server and make it better i hope.
They said that they gonna keep items on u after die but might do it as it used to be if ppl vote for it after relese. But i bet cb will be overpopulated at 15th :P
u need to read forums for more info and , no it cant be rushed !! as its a time progress server next expansion wont be relesed just cuz somone rush the end game.
well, thouse infos, like no infos, hehe. my guess is, that SoE doing it the same way, like before. easy ruleset. what means, the progressing will be fucking fast. ppls will level and raid the content like nothing.
Funniest Experience in EQ... Lvl 60 screaming for help running through newbie area with a train of Fire Beetles behind him. He wasn't in danger, but that was the funny part... o and the occasional screams like little girl emotes.
yeh... corpse runs! oh man... those were the days... they ensured that you had a plan before pulling... couldn't just barge in and start casting... you had a specific plan of attack... and dying meant something.the concept of not needing to "zone" was definitely innovative... but you actually kinda miss being able to zone... I think I'm going to go back...
@poopalisk The difficulty meant requiring you to use your brain . . . it's not a matter of enjoying pain--it's a matter of not being content to wear diapers and use training wheels.
Pfft I remeber the days of Asherons Call I got into the obsidian plains one day on my dads character and died like 50 times lol lost all his stuff cuz I was a kid then hahaha when he got home from work that day he got a surprize, he got all his stuff back after summoning 15 guildies rofl good times good times
There Working on a Everquest 3 now, with any luck it will be very similar to how EQ was back in the days where it was acualy difficult unlike all the current games where you hit max lvl in a week or two. Nothing like the good old corpse runs and dodging those trains.
oh man EverQuest was the best mmo ever they dont know how ez they have it today!
Playing for 5 hours stright and watching my orange bar go no where that was befor that added the blue lines . 2 hour corps runs ez . The crazy trains in unrest going to grab a drink siting the front of the zone come back to find out your dead two seconds later Lol But I have to say it was good good times no matter how pissed off you got. You ran got your corps and kept playing. The classic Black Burrow. The Best
I've tried all the new MMORPGs and have yet to find one that can hold my interest like EQ classic did. I doubt I'll see another game like it again. Sony sure did a nice job blowing it.
I still remember going through lesser faydark and being scared as hell when equestrielle the corrupted would come running out of nowhere and beat your low level ass to the ground in 1 or 2 hits. For me Everquest was ruined when they got rid of the sullen zek server and merged it. I loved going around with my level 50 bard and ganking n00bs. I got my MR up to over 300 and I could never be rooted so I would just run around and kill and no high levels could stop me cause i could run away.
i startet playing this game when i was 3 and i played WoW and its just not as good EQ was the best mmo in my opinion it was challengeing not hard but not easy and really brings me down when kids my age and people who have never played comment how wow is better its a shame.
Everquest was awesome. World of Warcraft can't even be considered a game when put next to Everquest. WoW only requires 3 year old intelligence to master the game. Everquest actually required skilled
@erasetoimprove No one ever mastered EQ. There were just too many different ways to play to really master it heh. I'm actually still active on The Rathe server.
I Still keep my EQ embers going but on a more private shard these days. For the last 3 years I have been playing on Shards of Dalaya; with is custom content and the same zones that I loved the most it has kept me stuck!! I Love it!!

my name is Hogndorff Heavyhand Warrior of the Nameless Fear'ed by meny Honered by few. and i spent more times in the old days finding bodys then i did playing.
The corpse runs, huge exp loss, waiting at the boats, ridiculously long rare mob spawns, no maps, broken quests... Basically every thing people complain about is what made EQ so great. Because of the hardships in the game it made EQ feel like a truly living and breathing world. This will never be captured in a game again and sadly even EQ lost this years ago. :(
@vlud420 Actually EQ is still alive =] (no not Sony's version). Google up Project1999, a server 100% free to play, thats baesd on Everquest BEFORE any expansions were released. There's actually lots of active players too =] spread the word
I miss East commons and west commons and the oasis and when i was like 15 i logged 10 hours in one sitting haha how addicted i was back then even in school all i could think about =) god them where the fun days wow about 2 hours a week lol.
@SaberTanker22 10 hours? =P The most I did, and this goes for any game or MMORPG or .. anything .. ever .. or even CLOSE to ever .. was 36 hour session. I've never even gone 10 hours now but .. that one summer day when I was 18 .. SIGH. I started to see Gnomes running around PoK that weren't there. (Well, one Gnome by the bank so it wasn't THAT bad) ..
I'm returning to this game today and I'm so excited. It's been months since I've played and I miss everyone. But I wasn't a hard core addict.. =/ I played when all my stuff was done and I wasn't going anywhere. Basically, it was a cure for boredom. Unless I had a raid, then I would fit my raid into my schedule some where. :D I don't care if that sounds bad. Anyway, I love this song, it made me smile. But OMG!! Can we say back in the day?
@4Branden4 Then again, I played this game all day which led to my studying anthropology and, specifically, online communities found in MMORPG's. Currently I work as a consultant to CCP Games for EVE Online. So yes .. kids surely are missing out on playing this game! They really, really don't know what they missed. Here's to another twenty-something working at Hot Topic!
im 12 soon to be 13 next week, and i started playin eq a year ago in october,got a few originals, and i love the game, i learned about it because when i was younger my parents played, i always wanted to play this game
I remember being in plane of time for 8 hours straight and i wanted to go to bed but the raid leader said:Hey we aren't done yet and i replied:but i'm tired and its 2 o clock in the morning.
Hio, it's that time of year again, the time of year to hide from your family and play a 10 year old emulated game in the basement, now with ITEM LOOT!
The vz/tz pvp server is being wiped in a few days, the date isn't set yet but probably either wednesday or thursday. Theres a new host since the last wipe and the server experiences no lag even with 60+ people in 1 zone

I quit playing EQ about 5 years ago, this does bring back some memories.
There is one thing I learned with this game, YOU NEVER EVER lose your corpse, you keep looking for signs on the ground, trees, stones, anything you can see, so when and if you DO DIE you will find your corpse. I developed a map memory with this game. And now tanking in WoW, I never get lost and can help people find things thanks to the lessons learned.
Yes, WoW took most of the complaints people had about EQ and did things differently, particularly corpse retrieval. EQ itself changed this radically and the situation presented here has not been true now for at least 5 years.
Its actually easier in EQ now than in WoW ... but for many of us, getting back to our corpses used to be a regular part of the game.
The first time I played it was a few months before they incorporated the...gah I can't even remember the name of it, but it was the place your corpse when to after it decayed.
I had a lvl 10 wizzy and he died and I couldn't find my corpse...so I quit and went to a new server, lol.
Some SHK tried to help me find it but no luck. Or maybe it was a necro, but I think it was a shk.
I can totally relate to this song as I spent many hours at lower lvls looking for my corpse. Brings back memories of some of the biggest trains i have seen
"what would I like my tomestone to say?" ...sigh...such epic nostolgia, lol - i dont miss having to con mobs...mostly...though i miss the fun of having to give a mile's berth to a red conned mob heh..
Hahaha this video brings back many memories. Corpse runs were sure ain't fun when you barely know what you were doing in the game. I must say that original EQ rocks though!
i am a 85 cleric in this game eq rocks!!!! but when my big brother played when he was little and new to it if it said what would u like your tombstone to say it would say hello? are you alright? lol
I never get tired of this vid. Great stuff and great memories. I really miss the run from qeynos to freeport while hitting kithicor at night, "specs to dock!", falling through the fake tree in Blackburrow and dying (never got THAT corpse back), wurmslayer and yak being the uber combo, camping Pizjn and never seeing her, and like the video says- can't see at night with no sense of direction...oh too many to recount!
Does anybody remember what Gfay used to be like???
I miss it so much

The corpse runs, huge exp loss, waiting at the boats, ridiculously long rare mob spawns, no maps, broken quests... Basically every thing people complain about is what made EQ so great. Because of the hardships in the game it made EQ feel like a truly living and breathing world. This will never be captured in a game again and sadly even EQ lost this years ago. :(

@vlud420 Actually EQ is still alive =] (no not Sony's version). Google up Project1999, a server 100% free to play, thats baesd on Everquest BEFORE any expansions were released. There's actually lots of active players too =] spread the word

@SaberTanker22 10 hours? =P The most I did, and this goes for any game or MMORPG or .. anything .. ever .. or even CLOSE to ever .. was 36 hour session. I've never even gone 10 hours now but .. that one summer day when I was 18 .. SIGH. I started to see Gnomes running around PoK that weren't there. (Well, one Gnome by the bank so it wasn't THAT bad) ..

I'm returning to this game today and I'm so excited. It's been months since I've played and I miss everyone. But I wasn't a hard core addict.. =/ I played when all my stuff was done and I wasn't going anywhere. Basically, it was a cure for boredom. Unless I had a raid, then I would fit my raid into my schedule some where. :D I don't care if that sounds bad. Anyway, I love this song, it made me smile. But OMG!! Can we say back in the day?

EQ was definately the harshest of the MMO's I've played, between having to run back for your corpse and the exp loss as well.
I sure miss the days back when Sullon Zek was around and the max lvl was 65 :P

@4Branden4 Then again, I played this game all day which led to my studying anthropology and, specifically, online communities found in MMORPG's. Currently I work as a consultant to CCP Games for EVE Online. So yes .. kids surely are missing out on playing this game! They really, really don't know what they missed. Here's to another twenty-something working at Hot Topic!

Hio, it's that time of year again, the time of year to hide from your family and play a 10 year old emulated game in the basement, now with ITEM LOOT!
The vz/tz pvp server is being wiped in a few days, the date isn't set yet but probably either wednesday or thursday. Theres a new host since the last wipe and the server experiences no lag even with 60+ people in 1 zone

I quit playing EQ about 5 years ago, this does bring back some memories.
There is one thing I learned with this game, YOU NEVER EVER lose your corpse, you keep looking for signs on the ground, trees, stones, anything you can see, so when and if you DO DIE you will find your corpse. I developed a map memory with this game. And now tanking in WoW, I never get lost and can help people find things thanks to the lessons learned.

lol, in wow the minimap points out the way to your corpse when you die:P you don't need to recognise in wow:P
kristian00123 1 year ago
Yes, WoW took most of the complaints people had about EQ and did things differently, particularly corpse retrieval. EQ itself changed this radically and the situation presented here has not been true now for at least 5 years.
Its actually easier in EQ now than in WoW ... but for many of us, getting back to our corpses used to be a regular part of the game.
NightBear01 1 year ago
The first time I played it was a few months before they incorporated the...gah I can't even remember the name of it, but it was the place your corpse when to after it decayed.
I had a lvl 10 wizzy and he died and I couldn't find my corpse...so I quit and went to a new server, lol.
Some SHK tried to help me find it but no luck. Or maybe it was a necro, but I think it was a shk.
