Originally posted by Dance Master MCYes and yes. I have played EverQuest. I have played it over 80 hours a week. EverQuest is about leveling and getting more powerful items. When you get to the high levels it is all about going on raids to kill very strong monsters. EverQuest is not a very good game. The quest in EverQuest are far removed from the game to me. I never did a quest in the game that gave me a feeling that I had done something meaningful. The best thing about EverQuest are the controls. EverQuest has the best game controls I have ever played. So far I have not seen a online game that is very good. The best I have seen is a game that could have been good. The best games I have played so far is Might and Magic 7 and Wizardry 5 Heart of the Malestrom.
Has anyone ever played the game?, is it really addicting?

Originally posted by Dance Master MCI played EQ way back in the day when it was still good. My highest character was a level 66 Paladin. I don't play anymore because everyone I used to play with is gone. They've really made some of the zones really ugly last time I went in to check up on it, and graphically, it sucks now. If you want to play an MMO, I'd suggest EQ II if you really have to play an EQ game, and even WoW is okay. I haven't looked at the Lord of the Rings MMO, but that might be an option. You might also try Guild Wars, which has no monthly fee after you buy the game. Right now, I play both WoW and City of Heroes.

I used to play EQ on the Tallon Zek and then Sullon Zek servers, in which you could kill other players. I felt it was a good game but nowhere near perfect. I stopped playing when the server started losing all it's population (most people are sissies and it was a tough set of rules).
Now I refuse to pay a monthly fee for any game. I tried Guild Wars but ended up not liking it much for a number of reasons.
Now I play Civ IV and Battle for Wesnoth and am unimpressed with both. However I did rediscover an old favorite from my youth - Autoduel. Great game!!!
