EQ November 1997 Classic EQ

You're in Old World again

My computer specs when I first started playing Everquest! This is why the graphics were not as they are today you WoW nubs.

Bought this computer from Gateway in 1995. Everquest released 1999. My computer was already outdated like a mother.

CPU: 133 mhz
RAM: 64mb
Graphics: Didn't have one at the very beginning then upgraded to Voodoo2.
CDROM: CDROM
Internet: 28.8 kbps then upgraded to 56k

Please do your gaming and computer hardware history before making post about graphics and or other computer/gaming related comments, or I will be forced to remove non-informed and uneducated posts.

Man, I wish I was old enough to experience such a great game at the time. I was only 8 but I heard the rumors of how fantastic the world and immerse the community was. If we only still follow the path of making games with great features instead of improving just the graphics. I'm apart of the newer generation of gaming, but I can still tell how much of a great game this was.

I'm glad that there are some youngsters out there who can appreciate the oldies but goodies.

i'm actually STARTING everquest 1 soon. Everquest was way before my time, and even if it isn't the same anymore, i still want to see what the hype was/is all about

[revilor]

Everquest 1999 is a lot different from Everquest 2002-Present. So many changes have been made to the game it is almost a totally new game in all reality, so you will not know what the hype is all about until Everquest Classic server comes out. Don't go in there (the game) with a preconception that nothing changes after 10 years you will sadly be disappointed.

[lingojac]

Any idea when the classic server's going to be a reality?

[revilor]

There is no estimate time to completion because you can't rush genius my friend.

No it isn't. Ultima Online predates it by 2 years and is another excellent game.

@wildefice1 everyone should remember that, who didnt try to kill a guard?! bahahaa

[kevin89060]

I love this game. This game is what started it all. EverQuest IS THE ORIGINAL MMORPG

man i miss that old game was fucking awesome :D

@questrelm I played it from Jan 2000 till mid March 2000 then I left it for Asheron's Call. I never looked back as AC1 was my game but many people loved EQ. I absolutely hated Verant, at the time, but SoE takes their place. I loathe and despise SoE and will never ever touch another game from them after many years of playing EQ2.

While this video was playing, I was Playing UO and loving it.

[wildefice1]

i remember when i first started playing ... on my first day i went to talk to one of the gaurds and accidentally attacked it :D who else remembers that

[malmapus]

It's amazing how dated that is now. I remember being so blown away when it first came out. Still remember Neriak when I started a Dark Elf. Good times.

@Drbolla345 here here, It is nice to see these youngsters, even play with a few of them, but the friendships I've made in EQ will never compare to those of WoW (or every other MMORPG bc i've literally played them all) and I like to see these young people realizing it's more than just about graphics, it's about the friendships made.

Wish I could go back and play EverQuest when it was in it's prime. Didn't start playing MMOs until WoW :(
