If you want an out dated, over saturated, played out MMORPG...look no further. Don't get me wrong, I've been playing EQ2 since 2006, and continued up until about 2015 only ever missing ONE expansion. There are A LOT of reasons to play this game...HOWEVER, there is one really big reason not to play this game. It's age, and let me clarify. Because of the age of the game, new players aren't really welcomed in. As a new player you won't find anyone to run relevant content, you won't find a fair and forgiving economy, you won't find a lot of help learning your class..Also, most of the content has been obsoleted. Quest lines, and loot from lower level dungeons, both give useless loot, and little to no reason to waste your time. The community and player base consists mostly of quiet and solo players, OR, trolls and abusive arrogant jerks. The quiet solo players keep to themselves and run the markets, whereas the pompous players tend to get carried through content based on popularity. If you...

Daybreak, is like EA, but they are QUICKLY killing all of their IPs. They are the cancer of the gaming industry. They buy one of the greatest game series ever created, and run it into the ground. This game use to be divine, like its parent Everquest 1. When I heard that Everquest Next was cancelled due to it "Not Being Fun" I knew that this game had died too. So I decided to come back and try it out. Wow what a money grab, with crap expansions, lack of content, and horrible polish. Dont come back for the memories, you will just sour them. RIP Everquest, you will be missed.
I can play as a frog.
Good game, just gotta get past the old graphics. I can tell the developers spent a lot of time on this game, it is truly a piece of art after you explore for a couple of hours. Here's what I got out of it. Pros: +Tons of Job Classes +Lots of Skills to experiment with +Huge Map, Like Extremely Huge, really feels like an adventure. +Good UI, easy to learn, simple combat. +Tons of play value +Crafting System & Economy +Voice acting decent Cons: -Graphics are a bit dated. -Server Population Currently a bit low -Combat is simple.. but, then again, im just a warrior -Dialogue sometimes a bit cheesy.
A fucking dead game Spent hours to find other players Never saw one
I've been playing everquest 2 since 2011. If I could rate the game out of 10 it would be 6. I love Everquest 2 very dearly, it will always be in my heart. Everytime I try to find a different game to play I always come back to Everqeust 2. There are a lot of good and bad things about the game. I gave a 6/10 because there are many issues with Everquest 2 that need to be addressed by the devs and haven't been. I cannot ignore that despite my deep love for this classic game. Some of the bad stuff; [*] Lots of graphical bugs that have yet to be addressed( particularly the GPU shadows and small things like fish appearing above the water because something about the transparecy of the water is wrong.) [*] Some of the purchasable content seems over priced and definitely money grabbing... ( e.g The Aerakyn(Dragon) race costs 42 dollars if you want to have cool animations and the ability to fly with your wings. Things I feel that the race should come with by default. ) [*] Poor enforcment of...
Ah Everquest, my first true MMO love; even tho I was a consistent Ultima Online player until 1999 when EQ graced my screen. The EQ universe was my home for the next 6 years, shared only with what I consider another great MMO, Dark Age of Camelot. It wasn't until 2005 and I peeled myself away from those games to embark on a new journey in Everquest 2. I will admit, the first couple of years were very hard on EQ2. The steep computer requirements, the very hard game-play and the rise of a much lighter MMO in World of Warcraft created a challenging future for Everquest 2. Yet, the game persisted; made changes and continued to grow its content until now; it is probably of the largest if not the biggest MMO (content wise) out there today. I view EQ2 as a soler or even duo (couples/friends) MMO dream. All the content below the newest expansion is doable solo or small group; long as you have the superior level. This allows people to go back and see everything the game has to offer without p...
The only reason I'm not recommending this is because they removed PvP servers.
I want to come back to The World of EVERQUEST but since DAYBREAK killed Everquest NEXT . I am still very Bitter was the one MMO i was so looking forward too. Landmark was suppose to be a filler for the game and peps put time and effort into design in hopes of seeing there work in NEXT and now Landmark is dead. EQ is dead. whats NEXT ?? Go away Daybreak -killer of the best and orignal MMO.
No player base. 13 year old dead game. Yes, it's from 2004, not 2011. They only added it to Steam to rake in more money. I played the original in 1999, this is just an abortion.
