A defintion of Everquest.

Head on over to my website http://www.nullvoid.org which offers a menu that provides links to nearly every single resource relating to Everquest. I've also started linking Everquest 2 resources. The site used to be for a guild on Kane Bayle, but the guild has since evaporated out of existence. Right now, I'm just pursuing it as an underground community that does everything a guild doesn't provide. Guilds mostly focus around raiding and nothing more. Mostly, that is. Guilds expect their members to exp, to get the top level (if any), and then, in Everquest anyway, collect AA (Alternative Advancement) points, which allow further capabilities, stats and benefits, to be as good as they have time to be. Other than that, though, as I stated in my previous comment, due to the desire to be the best, and not the desire for roleplaying and other sources of entertainment, guilds don't require or expect anything more from you; just to get along with everyone else and to participate in raids; hence being active.


Hrmm, this is seeming more like a journal now. Well anyway, I am only posting this to reference my site, which provides links to many, if not all, Everquest-related resources.

Sadly, though, MMORPGS have been perversed by the less talented players; the players who could care less about roleplaying; the players who want action, and greedily fight to be the best, the strongest, the player with the most play time or the player who has the best gear and stats. There are few players left who enjoy playing just to pursue something interesting. Many of those such players end up getting depressed due to feeling the tension and demand for everyone to be the best they can be(tm? Army?) It's all a struggle for the top. Although, the particular game for Everquest, is what I'm referring to, it's also four years old. Maybe that's why. Maybe it's because it's just so old and so many people are into it, and that's what is bound to happen when too many players participate in such a game. Maybe with Everquest 2, and other furture MMORPGS, it'll start out as a game for RPers and then after a few years be perverted into a struggle to be the best again. In any case, I do not suggest pursuing Everquest at this moment, especially since Everquest 2 is going to be released very soon, and who knows...maybe everyone will leave Everquest and it'll die out, even though Sony Online Entertainment claims to keep tossing out expansions to Everquest to keep it alive. It is quite boring for me in particular and the only reason I continue to play is because I enjoy participating in a portion of the community, my friends, the few I have left, as many of them have left the game. You either have to play very often and burn out, you don't play enough and fall behind. Again, though, it's 4 years into existence, so perhaps that's why. It's still a fun and exciting game, but with it being so old and many new games being introduced, I'd take this knowledge and apply it to a new similar game in the genre, as it will be more exciting and provide you the opportunity to discover things on your own, rather than just playing by what others have discovered. By this, I mean, in Everquest, everyone knows what needs to be done to get to where the top players are, and they're just following their paths by researching on the Internet what they've done. It's boring, really. There's no adventure in that. It lacks a sense of achievement. This is more than just a comment, imo.

This essay gives you a good Idea what you will bve getting into if ever buying this game. However, in my opinion starting now in the vast realm of everquest, would be impossible or near to it for a player to grow. I have been playing the game since 1999 and have been very devouted off and on... when I have my breaks I find it very hard to get back into the swing because of new patches and stuff.... In my eyes for a new player, after 5 years beyond release, it would be a waste of money til Everquest 2 comes out.


also here is my guild on fennin ro

www.crimson-dragons.com

my name is Wulfgur, Danniiccaa and Wuylith

if you have any questions give me an e-mail

I used to play EQ also. It was fun for a while but I personally think it got tedious beyond all reason. I mean...waiting 30 hours of camping mobs to gain one level? I think life is too short for that stuff. Good analysis of the game, though.

I am not familiar with this game but it gave me enough information to be able to know what I would be buying or getting myself into. Thanks.

Head on over to http://eq.nullvoid.org instead

very informative and descriptive, i could almost picture it the description was so vivid. I all set to run out and buy this now, sounds like fun!

I didn't know much about this game, and this really would answer my questions if I were looking around to get it.
