Everquest - First playable Version

[EricToTheScionti]

Why do I miss this shot so much...

[Cutterxx4]

Does anyone know what I would use if I wanted to create this myself? C++ and what engine?

[MrGencyExit64]

@Cutterxx4 EverQuest is based off of an engine created by 7th Level. 989 (RedEye / Verant / SoE) licensed the engine and modified it, calling it True3D for Tanarus and EverQuest.

@VitoRocks03 I sometimes miss eq from those days you know.

Good times,very good times.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 I remember one day going to westcommons i think it was called where the druid ring is and there was a ring,There was a wedding happening in game and the guy was acting like an asshat but he apologized eventually.

What i meant by this:Sometimes you do get lucky and find someone who is genuinely sorry,.

Also:Ultima online's community seems better than both everquest and runescape and wow.

World of warcraft has a not bad community but ultima online is all community.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 I was responding to eq getting snobby part

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 Whatever i played eq for 7 years.On its own it was a good game but went downhill because people became greedy.It was especially nice game with all the amount of things to do.Too bad that you couldn't do them all because in 2006-2007 there was starting to get a big shortage of players.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 Well.. It certainly seems like you are trolling because you are going out of your way to put me down.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 I pity the person who lacks empathy.I pity the person who thinks he is better than anyone else and decides to troll,what a waste of life it is.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 That's where you are wrong,not every human being is self centered narcissist.

There are people who play everquest who want to share their experience with others and don't just care only about themselves.

[piromaniac9999]

@VitoRocks03 i care and many other care.



[Gilbs2211]

Ah EQ, lost two years of my life with it...

[Deathstardankness]

looks like magestorm graphics

[TypicalChaos]

this reminds me of the original tutorial lol

[SpamSpammity]

And this still has better graphics than Darkfall.

[sirgijoe]

Great file and video, actually, this place actually exists in game still today, this is where the guides and GM's hang out when they aren't out in the public,

Not sure if they made their zone look like this because it was the first zone they created of what. later sony also added in a graveyard along with this zone, to honor the fallen guides and players, who made an impact on eq before they left, Pretty sad actually as most were due to cancer or accidental deaths.

[wuvarien]

@sirgijoe Not true, Guides and GMs hang out in a zone called sunset home - i know because i use to be one ;)

[sirgijoe]

@wuvarien I was a guide also =p, and this video looks a lot like the hall in the middle of CS home which is what I was saying 8).

[michaelbollanduk]

@sirgijoe not really the zone you're thinking of is actually Sunset Home

[smokeyvv]

On EQs 2nd anniversary they released this to the public to download and play with :)

[Vishimitar]

Looks like a Crushbone/Theatre of blood type place tbh.. maybe with a bit of Crypt of Decay in it

[midnightfights]

Freakin' incredible for it's time, though.

[piromaniac9999]

Let eq die.

It was great in the early years,but the later years became nothing more than drama by stuck up elitist snobs who acted big because they raided high end zones and thought they were better than everybody else and treated others like shit,

The early days were good but i lost hope and surely don't plan to go back to be verbally harrassed,i already got that enough from my father in my childhood.

[feioncastor]

I remember when this little client was released. It was released on one of their anniversaries or something and it camp in a file called OLDEQ.zip.

[mailhunter]

correct sir :-) but im not sure about the filename. hehe

[dramah89]

It's even scary!

[HobieGuru]

Not High Keep, Temple of Marr in Freeport... Played sense beta...

[varnlestoff]

u just need a gun and some horse arses and this would be like DOOM1 haha

[tyrrax]

The funny thing about that....EQ was originally optimized to run in the now dead Glide API.

[yorklt]

こんな映像があったんだ！

なんだかHigh Keepっぽい。

[phinnycupcakes]

when was this demo relzd? 97? 98?

[Sikban]

omg that was like a year or 2 befor i played

[xvirus2501]

Awesome video. Glad someone posted it.

[PlantersVoid]

/ooc camp check

[jaker2001]

You sir are in huge need of a fire beetle eye in that video ;)

[Lrbearclaw]

Wish I knew what zone this was a demo version of.

[mailhunter]

this is just a playable "tech_demo". nothing more. if you wanna test it, ill send it to you. the file is about 1,6MB. just forward me your email via YT MSG.

[michaelbollanduk]

@Lrbearclaw It was called Castle McQuaid

[Questosravenbrew]

Good to know the graphics haven't changed much

[JarethJGT]

Umm.. these look quite a bit different from the original game.

[TheMortifiedDruids]

These look WAYY different than the real release.
