Circa 1997, Boyfriend and I played EQ together. He was a druid and I a ranger. He was grouped with some friends farming goblins in permafrost and part of the way through decided to go pick up dinner and asked me to play his druid.
He pointed out w…
It's been beaten to death but for good reason. Any original mmorpg gamer either played or knew about EQ. It set the stage for a lot of what came after. To omit is a pretty grievous error....
Okay, putting Trion aside for a second; the game itself doesnt really look that unique or appealing. Its not "supposed" to be a Diablo clone but gee whiz it sure looks like it and thats enough to check it off my interest list.
Also and this is like…

Thats a bummer. If it makes you feel any better its not the first time I have heard of the heavy ban hand that certain developer wields. They seem determined to censor people in one way or another.
Although I havent played a huge amount, the game is updated on a frequent basis. Anytime I log in, I always see players in my near vicinity, but I cant speak to the overall population.
There is alot to learn with this game and that is part of the e…
Unfortunately this kind of game is not very forgiving on new or unschooled players. Try learning how to play MOBA's from day 1 with HoTS and you will get a similar result as the OP. But...for every impatient elitist, I have also seen helpful player…
Because the game mechanics allow people to play this way. People rushed to complete content in EQ as well, but it took months not hours. EQ was built around grouping not soloing. So any content that was worth its salt required a party or raid to com…
I would love to play the original or BC version, but have read before that Blizzard denies ever supporting old servers. Comments about the administrative burden and the time and focus that would need to be placed on an old version of the game is som…
It makes no difference to me which way an npc leans. What matters is if the character has a personality that makes the game more enjoyable. I loved minsc and boo and I enjoyed Morrigans smarmy attitude. These are the things that bring a character al…
I would settle for anything outside the realm of plain, simple and on rails. Even though I like some of the listed game play elements I really think we are at a time in technology where we should be able to bring something new to the table.
New as …
Great article. I'm not a role player by any means but with Gm events you don't need to be. That's the beauty of them. Virtually anyone can passively participate and still gave a great time. They are sorely missing in most games these days although …
I came here for news of EQnext. So far all I see is landmark. I am getting tired of non gaming news. I don't consider landmark a game, it's a construction platform.
Meridian 59 was my first ever mmo experiece. It was much like the wild west of gaming, thrilling, dangerous and a ton of fun. Was it really 1995? I feel old...
It seems to me that the fault in current MMOs rely in the heavy focus on endgame. EQ was the exact opposite. The focus was on what you were doing at any given moment.
It feels like games now are pandering to those whose primary focus is end game co…
I honestly dont get why people are so caught up on statistics and numbers. I am playing the game, I see people everywhere, there are champion and boss groups in every zone I enter and Lions Arch takes a bit to load all of the player character models…
Yeah the zones are packed, especially with the new events. I was in overflow for most of the night yesterday on my server. Its nice to see people out and about doing their thing but on the flip side it adds to some issues particularly with the clock…
I am torn. I really appreciate games that are pay to play. I feel like I am paying for the entire package, that the game content and world is exclusive and that I do not need to worry about grinding in order to pay my way to upgrades. I am at a quan…
