How Many Came From EverQuest?

I played through Velious, quit just before Lucien. Tinkered around on Project 1999 a few times, but I cannot go back to the old school way of MMOs.

Started in EQ with my Army buddies in the barracks, then on a whim bought WoW Vanilla and my gaming circle followed suit. We started Alliance but ultimately went Horde and pvped heavily.

I wish Azeroth as a world was like EQ in that you really could go out and get LOST and it would take a class that basically had land navigation as a class skill to come find out OR actually do a type of land nav or mini map.

I played EQ for several years from its launch, moving to WoW about two months after its launch. Had over 500 days played on my EQ main before moving over. Miss that ranger so much. It’s all I wish hunters were here.

Tried it out many moons ago, but just couldn’t get into it like I do this game. Have a couple friends that play EQ regularly though. Thay are multiboxers though, so I guess they feel like they have more freedom to do it over on EQ than in wow idk.

I played on Tunara and went they made the 30$ a month server I went there ( storm hammer or something like that ) after that I bounced a round a bit.

On storm hammer I was in a guild called science of war.

I tried going back to the game not to terribly long ago and could not stand the graphics.

I played from kunark to 2 expansions after planes of power (which in my opinion was the best expansion they ever had )

I do miss it. I miss the social aspect of the game, I miss how all time sinks made you feel. Like you really accomplished something. I miss each class having a specific job.

Did you know monk pulling was an accident. But one of the coolest things in the game. Mobs had social agro but were not tethered to one another. And when they reset it was random on when they started walking back to their path or spawn point.

Watching a group of monks prefect pulls in a raid was really a work of art.

Look at Pantheon: rise of the fallen. It’s EQ1 with better graphics.

I played as a monk and it was really fun splitting up big packs, my other partner in crime was a female human monk named Fawny, we would tag team all the raids such a fun time

Right here. I miss the days of calling “SG to DOCKS!” or “Spectre to Docks!” in Oasis of Marr.

I came from Ultima Online and backseated my best friend playing EQ and DAOC.
Thems were the days.
In recent years I would hang out with an old friend and backseat him in EQ, SWOTOR and World of Warships. Good times all the same.

I got started with RP in Starsiege. Then didn’t RP again until WoW.

I also am from the dark ages of Eq. I played in a guild called Cestus Dei. I can still see it….dial up internet, complete heal rotations, rampage tanks and that old chestnut of the raid boss summoning you if you got high on the threat meter. I ultimately left for Eq2 on Ab because I found out it had housing and I could have a pet monkey.

I played Ultima Online > Everquest > Shadowbane then one of my friends started talking to me about wow. He was like “they have dungeons that are specific to your group so you don’t have 40 other people training mobs throughout it” This, along with flight paths, and hearthstone was a big win for me. Another big deal was the game was extremely stable compared to the others at that time.

Necromancer that started with Kunark here. I miss the exploration, wonder, and discovery. I miss when you could stumble upon a quest that, at least according to the internet at the time, nobody had done before. I miss the social aspect of having to meet in a central location to find groups or buy and sell goods.

I miss how rewarding getting a piece of gear felt and how long it would be useful for.

I miss the druid-hybrid aspect of it. Lev speed running, small easy heals, and of course dual wield melee options (had my EC and SW early on).

Before WoW came out I played a ton of MMOs including Everquest, Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, you name it. And before MMOs existed I played MUDs and MUSHes.
