I agree. Also, the fear of dying in EQ1 was actually something to truly fear.

Games today are way too soft on death and travel. The sad thing is, people today are so babied by WoW and other MMOs today that if this concept was incorperated into today's MMOs people would bitch and whine like you would not believe.

Veteran classic EQ players. We were a different breed.

damn books ruined the game.. too many lame expansions.

I have a Facebook tribute site for EQ. I lead a guild for 10 + years . Just put Everquest Screenshots into the search

@DataSe7en So true, brother!

Truly.

We didn't play to be best... we played to have an adventure, and explore the farthest depths of a scary world.

I know project 99 or whatever is recreating EQ through Vel. Sounds great, I wish they would have left the original game at that point as well. Shadows of luclin "updated" the models and downgraded the game... It was the beginning of the end.

As tempting as the 99 server is, there is no way that I can put myself back through the EQ grind. We used to invest so much time into eq, it actually took on a real emotional dimension. There was some magic in the original EQ that will never be recreated .

This music played when you stood next to the rogue poison vendor who stood on the peak of the island in the middle of Dagnor's Cauldron. I always visited him before I went to Unrest.

I rember going on a boat trip from freeport to another city (can not rember wich one now) with a friend just because thay needed an enchantment spell that could help them. and that was just the start of the trip it took another 3 hours after we hit the correct stop to get to the city. ahh memories of the good old days when gamers where more "outcasted" and games where not so kind in death on the players.

You know what my favorite thing about this game was? The community! It seemed like the average player in EQ 1 was a whole lot nicer and willing to chat/group than people these days in WoW. This game was about having fun, and it accomplished that goal incredibly well.

This is one game where the term "Just a game" wasn't ever valid. Old school EQ players lived to play it lol, I remember taking days off from work with a buddy of mine (RIP) when Velious expansion came out. Not many games create so much nostalgia like EQ did and I don't think there ever will be a game to mirror it... other than playing EQ on a EQemu server lol

Everyone come over to project 1999! It is a free to play classic everquest server! It boasts 800+ players at peak times! It recreates the classic experience up to velious. Kunark was just released 3 months ago.
