If this is old school EverQuest why is the sound not in MIDI?

[revilor]

@Rayvn7 That song can be found in Midi form. If it means a great deal to you. 1) Find and download the midi. 2) Mute this youtube video and play midi music in the background as you press play.

I'm more interested in the murals at DIA (Denver International Airport) those are trippy check them out as well as the airport.

I find it amusing that back then you could get away with a player base of 1000 people.

Now you're lucky to get someone's attention with a player base of 1,000,000.

[revilor]

A million or a thousand don't matter if you can solo through most of the game. Unlike WoW, EQ, was totally dependent on playerbase and new comers to keep the game rolling. One reason is because you rely mostly on groups depending on what class you picked.

Best MMO ever, I have so good memories of it even if I stopped like 6 years ago... No other game ever felt like this.

EQ was badass till they decided to "upgrade" the graphics

[reyvene]

The year was 2000, my age was 19, and my days of MMO gaming began. EQ held my heart for 6 years and until my long term guild finally fell apart I was committed. Much fun as I have with modern games, they'll never be as hard or as community driven as Everquest classic.

This game is magical, and no matter what they do to "improve" it, it will always be a unique fantastic experience for all players.

OH GOD THE PIXELS, THEY'RE IN MY EYES! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!

You all do realize this game was "awesome" and had a "great feel" because you were probably 10+ years younger than you are now. Ontop of that, this was all new, undiscoverd, & whatnot. Basically, my point is.. these feelings come from the time you played it, rather than the acual game itself.

@Aekh Literally couldnt agree more.. i watch this video and just was spitting out all the zone names and have this intense feeling of nostalgia.. i quit probably 7 years ago but still RANNDOMLY, like now, look back just to remember how it was THE BEST GAME EVER MADE.. no questions asked

[SoDaR2007]

@mchlor - That is so true. I would be standing at the Qeynos gates helping a few newbies out getting started. I would usually hand out free Bronze/Leather Armour, Greater Lightstones and Backpacks, it was great to help your fellow players. You would also get a lot of "soandso is inspecting your equipment ... " popping up and /tells on where to hunt. Ah those were the days!

[DavichMadd]

@terskip I hate to hear that the zones were THAT bad that they made you unsub. Sorry they robbed you of the nostalgia. I'm in the process of getting ready to play it again, I hope the remade zones don't put me off that much. It really is a fun friggin game.

Over 1000!

this vdeo realiy brot back a lot of good memories when gameing was about quality and the community not about graphics and mass market

[AHFashionenemy]

This is by FAR the BEST MMO to date. Original Everquest pre-Luclin... Even after but honestly, is you played this game when it came out you where a part of something really special.
