  • best game ever made hands down

  • best game ever

  • zomg computer graphics

  • Comment removed

  • well there were plenty of other online games.. and many many more mmorpgs before EQ. but this video brings up alot of nostalgia

  • Thank you for posting this. The first good MMORPG. The ancestor for all that is good in online gaming.

    It's amazing how far we've gone. But this was so high tech back in the 90s.

  • wow cinematics have come a long way

  • i remember this introduction

  • My god, you guys having comment wars are pathetic. Seriously. The only people who need to remain in education are you two (Kennit and Tots).

    On topic, this video really does bring back memories XD Best damn game of all time.

  • Guys your going off topic...

  • I'll shut up when you apologize for disrespecting a game that paved the way for today's games.

  • Well, to be fair, nobody really thanks the British for colonizing America. It's just kinda our thing to enjoy what we have without paying our respects.

  • This game was from back in 99... the era of N64 and Playstation 1... You're a nub and should keep your mouth shut about games that were before your time, kid.

  • Fucking hardass arnt ya big guy. Shut up your just some geek who says shit to make himself feel good about himself.

  • LOL, you don't know how flattering it is to hear people disbelieve the truth about me. Is my life really that unbelievable?

  • shut up god damnit.

  • "WoW is for kids... the game has no focus cause the maturity level of the game is that of a 14 year old... the game it'self has not even a fraction of the content everquest has... the economy is a joke... tradeskills be be easily maxed in one day... they had to drop the raid numbers down to 10 and 25 cause the maturity level is so low, not to mention the focus of a 14 year old isnt very great... so yeah i can see how wow is a much better game... NOT..."

    This comment made me LOL. It's so true!

  • geek?

  • Yeah, I guess I am a geek, but my ride does 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, I'm 6'3" and I bench 1.5x my body weight. Can't wait to start stacking cycles so I can bench 400+ like my brother.

    I wonder, have you ever ran from the police and escaped?

    It's sad that I can do all these ungeeky things and am still more of an oldschool gamer than some kids mouthing off about games that were responsible for the creation of today's games like WoW.

  • go go defencife stance ? :S

  • I just like to belittle those who attempt to belittle those undeserving such treatment.

    For example: I mention the way you spelled 'defencife.'

  • who gives a damn how i spell stuff dude , im not english so its ok , but dont throll mud in my face , trying to cover ur DEFENCIFE STANCE

    PS: PewPew Lazers

  • Stay in school, kid. That's all I have to say about this embarrassing comment of yours.

  • Shut the hell up kennit. I doubt youve done any of that, or run from any police. But keep saying that so it makes you LOOK like a hardass. Fucking idiot. LAWL NOOB U EVER RUN FRM POLISZ AND EXCAPE? LOL I HAVE IM HARDASS MA AND PA DONT LOVE ME get laid ya fucking idiot.

  • dude i bet i have 3 times the ejucation that u have, and its easy to go around youtube , saying how awesome you are , but most ppl who do that , are just big Loosers irl.

    PS:gtfo

  • Mmmmm, the sweet flattery. Thanks for stroking my ego. ;)

  • Bragging on the internet means it's true and not egotistical at all.

  • It's just that I can't help but feel flattered when someone is in disbelief about the truth of my life. It makes me think "Holy shit, is my life that unbelievable?"

  • Nice video. I can't honestly say i remember it, but i bought eq 2 weeks after kunark came out so maybe that why. I recently started back up this week to after playing WoW off and on for 2 years.

    Everquest is the best mmorpg ever so far. Classic EQ i should say. People that get angry when you say that have obvious dont know, or are jealous because they did not get to experience it and there will prolly never be anything like it again. Ive been searching for an EQ killer too for 9 years, no luck

  • Which sucks because EQ pretty dead now unless you 85 and in top raiding guild i guess. Raiding is still fun though.

  • memories :*(

  • there is n "best" mmo u fools, its all opinion, no matter what, i play wow, i wanna try out eq tho cuz it looks pretty good i like wow cuz it has a very large variety, its a god game imo, but eq looks god too, so quit bitchin bout which is better becuz none of yall are right, its all based on opinion, there is no fact

  • lol i guess all the stupied wow people bitch because they never play eq back in the day

  • Ok wow sucks if you compare it to eq classic. i played eq for years and also played wow. Wow is for lil kids that cant play a game with skill thats why i quit it all it is are a bunch of lil kids bitchin and spammin channels eq had friendly players on it and you needed more group based fightin unlike wow all you have to do is quest for 5 days and hit the top lvl eq classic is and will always be the best mmo. Most of the top guilds on wow are also old eq raiders that play cause eq died down.

  • do u need to pay in month for this game?

  • you can pay month to month, bi-monthly, three months at a time, 6 months at a time, or yearly. each option increases the amount you save. the best value is yearly if you can afford it. If SoE game cards are available to you at your local best buy or walmart, they are a cheap option for you. hope this answered your question

  • Haha at dumbass WoW4lyfe123 kids last comment, The funny thing is, this was like everquests cinnematic intro video not even the graphics themselves, keep in mind everquest was a 1999 game, back when playstation and N64 were king EQ was just as mentioned before paving the way for MMO's to come. EQ's graphics sort of remind me of that era, its classic graphics that is, sort of like a better version of PS1 and N64 combined.

  • Lol at WoW players who think it copied WoW.

  • It was games like Everquest that paved the way for future MMO's, it showed developer's that there was a very large gaming audience to be had online.

    To say that EQ sucks is to say that WoW sucks, in reality neither of them do and it breaks down to simple personal choice, to argue about which is better/worse is meaningless and pointless banter.

  • @IntelligentGamers EQ did pave the way theres no doubt about that but saying EQ sucks doesnt mean your saying WoW sucks there different games

  • Everyone should b e reminded that these are NOT the actual everquest graphics, and this was the intro move what? 8 or 9 years ago?

    PS WoW and Runescape lick nuts!

  • World of Warcraft is an honest creation of cock sucking nerds who get their pleasure from button mashing

  • I don't remember this video at all...but then again, I started in Kunark.

  • Wow... nostalgia.

  • is this online and if it is is it free?

  • in the good old days only cool interesting people plyed online games, now they full of kids wanting omgpvpizleet wow is not even worth everquests excrement no game ever will come close to the feeling you got from taking 72 people to kill somthing for the first time on any server

  • Dumbest comment i have ever read.

  • this dude needs to get a life

  • runescape sucks

  • how can you say RS is better then eq or wow, eq/wow both hav more players, better graphics, require skill, have a bigger variety, and overall is designed better.

  • @zcombs15 lmao what a joke.

  • I feel sorry Jimmy :/

  • I still say the enchanter & bard (everquest classes) are two of the best ever made!

  • jimmy started playing this?

  • LOL

  • lol i miss thouse days, cant find a game that will match it still

  • I have 3 times just get bored... its so easy and i feel like a cartoon...

  • land hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo

  • OMG this is bring back memory i had a level 50 dwarf called helith fully crafted armour and two sword of sythe he was a great charcter and begging in the EC tunnel for a few gold lol. played this for ten years and always enjoyed it thourghly

  • um so somehow u traveled into the future and played until 2009? it was only released in 99

  • no EQ has been around 10 years. 1998 was Open beta.

  • EQ, bnot bad Qualitys, looks good, except the movements are kinda rusty, how old is this game?

  • released in 99

  • hah... i remember starting off at felwithe doing the letter quest for a few gold piece. running from lvl 2 orc, running back and forth scared of getting attacked. those were the days....

  • Oh my! This really takes me back. I started EQ in Dec. of 1999 (the year it was released) and used to love watching this movie. Got me pumped up to play. Was very sad when they took it out, but I was still able to use my original install disc to see this movie before doing the complete patch that took it out.

    This really brings back memories of a simpler time in EQ. Trading in the tunnel in EC, sand giant trains in Oasis, riding the boat in FP. The game has changed so much since then

  • This game truly brought a unique experience to gaming. I distinctly remember wandering over a hill near Felwithe, turning around and being completely lost. You didn't get maps that knew your location, or maps at all for that matter. you had to learn the hard way. Those of us that did can still walk every trail and every hill from memory. And the times when players were nearly forced to interact in order to really get something done... those were the days. I miss those days a lot.

  • You and I both... Warhammer, WoW, Any other MMORPG that is new. They're all the same. Everquest was unique in the player interaction aspect. Early on at least.. No Hearthstones, no rezzing with all your gear... You took an EXP hit AND had to go retrieve your corpse from Sol A or risk loseing all your gear... Ahh yes, I miss those days alot.

  • I greatly miss the old days of EverQuest. I've played WoW for a long while, hoping it'd fill that void. It didn't. I'm moving on to WAR, partly because I enjoy the table-top, but also because it's done by a very promising company.

  • war sucks actually, ud be better trying age of conan or eq2

  • I truly also miss those days. Before they started holding your hands with maps and such, and you had to learn things the hard way.

  • I'm totally with you. The first couple years of EverQuest was the best.

  • I've played quite a few MMO's and Everquest is on the more challenging side, which makes it more appealing.

    All the pussies are going to WoW (who'll miss the faggots?), yes I've played WoW and it's made for little girls with a 3 year old mentality.

  • GOD I remember this. I used to bypass it all the time and now I miss it. They haven't done it in YEARS!

  • Lawl.

  • /cry at the poor helpless ogre.

  • ...The original EQ has an intro?

  • hm.. never played everquest.. was always playing Diablo 1/2 or 2 lord of destruction

  • I quit playing wow but not because of the game itself which I enjoyed but because of the other players on the game. Half were assholes who realized that it didn't take much courage to insult someone when they were online (like no one realized that before). The other reason was that players looked for every cheating shortcut out there to advance instead of playing the game. It was time for me to quit when my enjoyment time was being hampered by world of assholes.

  • Best game ever, shut up wow fanatics.

    As said before nothing could bring back the feeling this game brought to the world in it's early days.

    Just amazing.

  • I played EQ starting about a month before Shadows of Luclin up until right before whichever expansion was after Gates of Discord was about to come out. Good game, but like just about every MMO, you're hosed if you can't get into an uber-guild at high level, and that was why I quit.

  • crusadesofvoracity com. pvp everquest server with working bard's and boat's :)

  • this is kinda like scientology history

  • To anyone wanting play EQ one last time in its prime (99-01) check out EQClassic on google. The Devs are restoring everything back to the way it was on Norrath before Luclin was launched. Lets play one more time before the MMO Industry becomes flooded with quick instant reward RPGs that emphasize little team work in return for huge rewards (i didnt say WoW did I lawl)

    70 pally lfg pvp, ILL TOUCH YOUR FLAG IF YOU TOUCH MINE zomg extreme PVP + extreme pve I can lvl 60 in 2 weeks lawl

  • The Everquest of 1999 up to the release of Shadows of Luclin was something that no game has been able to imitate since. Not even WoW. Regardless of how ill the game makes me today, I'll never forget the early years.

  • amazing how retarded that comment was. This video isnt for biast game nerds. I like WoW, but dont go rippin on EQ when you dont know shit.

  • 2 is better

  • If it is then great, because it should be. No body strives to make a sequel that is worse than the original. The fact is that Everquest 2 SHOULD be better than Everquest. If it isn't, it's a failure of a sequel.

  • Hey, I'm going to get EverQuest but I want to know a few things about it. I think I may be a shadowknight but how much is EverQuest per month? PM me.

  • Hey, I'm  going to get EverQuest but I want to know a few things about it. I think I may be a shadowknight but how much is EverQuest per month? PM me.

  • lol thid brings me back. ya eq was better then, but its still cool.

  • omg same here

  • omg i miss pre-luclin eq =(

  • Man I miss old EQ...back when it first came out. After PoP it sucked.

  • yeah man been an EQer since the pre alpha came out and it hasent been the same since the PoP came out made it to easy to play sucked the fun right out of it.

    NAMELESS SERVER!!!

  • wow is going the same direction. They made it easier to level and on my second character it took me 2 weeks to level to 30 because they now decreased the amount of xp you needed to progress.  Do game designers know that people like challenge and get bored with something that is to easy.

  • I use to watch this before I logged in was my good luck charm.

  • nah this is better in the simpsons game

  • Wow. I miss the original Everquest so much.

  • well no duh, i play eq2 i just noticed it geez, i was making a remark about wows graphics not eq2s graphics

  • I miss prePoK EverQuest. Now it's just not the same.

  • More subscribers does not equal better game. EQ is the better game.

  • they did anyone else notice that these graphics are a step below Wows?

  • EQ came out in 1999 you fool

  • RETARD i cant belive Dragonss11 even would say that that shows you how much they dont know

  • if anyone still plays EQ, please send me a message if you dont mind answering a question or two.. thanks

  • 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

  • wow is GAYYYYYy

  • i totally agree everquest is awsome!! i dont play as often cause im in school but i still do i love it so and i dont think it wiil die either. i have friends who switched to wow but came back because it sucked ass compared to everquest ^.^ YAY EVERQUEST LOVERS!!!

  • WOW and the kids sitting in here saying graphics suck!!!

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW LONG AGO IT WAS MADE??, Ir's OLDER THAN MOST KIDS WHO PLAY WOW ahahahhahahahahaah

  • I love WOW and I used to play everquest....

    At the height of WOW's popularity so far, Doesn't even come close to the magnitude of everquest in it's prime.

  • SCREW YOU DOMMY420 WoW SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUCKZZZZZZZz

  • You couldn't be more wrong. The height of Everquest was overshadowed the day after the launch of WoW, when they *doubled* the peak subscriber base of EQ (approximately 250,000 players). You may be pining for your youth, but that doesn't make Everquest a better game.

  • The height of everquest was LONG over before WoW even began production. The fact is, WoW never was a good game, and never will be. Everquest at least was for a short time. The people who were there remember it, and know all to well, there will never be another game like Everquest was. Players have changed, it was the players that made Everquest so great in it's youth, not just the game itself.

  • Amen brother The player base was so great back when MMORPG weren't as popular as they have become today the people who played the game in the way it was suppose to be played and the advent of PvP just made it all the more fun

  • EQ is a better game shut it.

    WOW is for retards who cant play a skill based game. So they trun to WoW the button masher mmo.

  • 250k? EQ broke 1 million, yes ,not as many as wow, but EQ was out WAY before online gaming was big

  • The intro looks seriously crappp...

  • YOUR FACE LOOKS SERIOUSLY CRAPP

  • LOL, this video was followed shortly by my wood elf warrior falling out of the tree city of Kelethin many, many times. Where the hell was that elevator again? =D

  • hahahaha holy shit, memories

  • this is number 1 so they were comparing it to number 2

  • because this is everquest 1 not 2 lol,this came out a LONG time ago before all the special graphics

  • what's more pathetic is you're attemtping to insult a game that started many online games. also i'd like to bring up the question...if you dislike this game so much what compelled you to watch and comment? btw world of warcraft is way too cartoony...i'd rather play runescape or rappelz than "WoW" (the true garbage) GOOD DAY SIR! anyways...EQ was an awesome game experience.

  • u suck fartknocker

  • That insult sucked

  • THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

  • too bad those aren't the real graphics

  • Man EQ was the shit 99 - 03. All those damn expansions ruined it though. Great zones like Oasis of Marr were ghost zones thanks to quick fixes like fucking Paludul. I remember when travelling around used to be exciting and took a bit of effort. Now you can just click on a stone. Not even going to get into how many zones are just wasted because of constant expansions...ugh. Great game but all great things come to an end I guess.

  • because planes of power came out the game was much better!

  • planes of power imo was the climax of the game and its expansions...they couldn't exactly top it off with a better one and so the game rating went down

  • I foresee the end of wow soon, for shortly after, ugh i cant even remember what small company combined with sony they went down, and BLizz just combined with activsion, the fall of wow is imminent.

  • Ayep. Making the game easier, and easier, and somehow, finding some way to make it even easier, will lead to WoW falling down around them.

  • the company that ran eq before sony took over was verant, and they knew how to make a good game dammit, eq still rocks nevertheless

  • Guys, EQ is never coming back, let it die with grace.

  • I'd LIKE TO SEE YOU DIE WITH GRACE NOT!

  • I wont go into detail about how much WoW ruined the Warcraft series or how all "3000" EQ expansions watered the game down to boringness. I will say however that this was my Favorite MMORPG of all time and that SOE ruins any game it touches.

  • Classic everquest again! eqclassic dot org

  • zomg this brings back sooo many memories.

    everquest was hands down the best game back then.

    too bad the expansions FUCKED IT UP!

    wow is heading that way it seems like too =/

  • i play wow... lord of the rings online is a very good game... second best after WoW... but everquest really sux! u know that trailers for games usually make the game look alot better than it is? well, this trailer looked like crap! so its logic that everquest sucks!

  • sorry maggax2h, i just read an article where everquest is one of the all time best games to day still... with way more content than any game out there... wow is a kiddy game compared to everquest, outdated engine yes... but still one of the best games to date, not to mention every mmo that exists is still compared to the greatness of everquest and none have yet to rival everquest...

  • Ntguy... who cares about articles? when was the last time a newspaper told us the truth? the whole point of newspapers is to make us live in fear by telling us lies, so we can go buy stuff that we dont need... and still... Everquest sucks!

  • WoW is for kids... the game has no focus cause the maturity level of the game is that of a 14 year old... the game it'self has not even a fraction of the content everquest has... the economy is a joke... tradeskills be be easily maxed in one day... they had to drop the raid numbers down to 10 and 25 cause the maturity level is so low, not to mention the focus of a 14 year old isnt very great... so yeah i can see how wow is a much better game... NOT...

  • Not to mention after 2 years of being in circulation WoW is now see'ing is loss in customers hence the Scroll of Resurection. after only 2 years? it will not ever make it to 8 years. people tire of immature idiots real quick. and actually everquest is getting new members and it's numbers are once againg growing.

  • Dont even get me started on WoW bludering of the story line with the draeni and blood elves... not to mention they limited themselves in a game with a limited story line... doubt they'll ever see 15 expansions.. before you come on here mouthing off about something you know nothing about do your homework... son..

  • Not to mention there is a moving about everquest going to be released in 2009 / 2010, you dont see any wow movies coming out do you? the creater of the latest spider man movies are putting it out with marvel ....

  • ...ehh dude?

    there are making a movie of wow...released in 2008. at least they planned it so it will come!

    and dont forget the expancion :Wrath Of The Lich King!!!

  • All you WoW kiddies playing kiddy krusade just need to realize that WoW will never be as good as everquest. will never have the hardcore followers that everquest has. Or the maturity level of the players.. dont come on here spouting crap when you've not played everquest other than the tutorial and realize you didnt like it...

  • face it warcraft pwns everquest

  • Maggax2H, this video wasn't a trailer. It was the Intro movie to the game when it was first released to the public in 1999. Before WoW ever came along.

  • ok......my respects to............WoW

  • lol thumbs up

  • I have played WoW and I play Everquest Everquest in my opinion is far better

  • Everquest 1 came out in March of 1999. At that time the best you had was Ultima Online. Its funny though, yeah now the graphics suck but in '99 the game revolutionized the MMO industry.

  • It's really funny to see all the people debating the worth of EQ based on the graphics of this movie.

    For one, this movie was posted a year ago. On top of that, the movie itself is somewhere near 9 or 10 years old. It's from the very original EQ, before any expansions were added, and WAY before the several graphic overhauls the game has had over the years.

    The game play itself, by the way, never looked like this movie.

  • Bugguts Fck you and everyone you know i play wow but EQ was godly till the Xpacs fcked it up. You sir are stupid as fck now go do everyone a favor blow your head off!
