Hello everybody,

first of all - i am sorry for my bad english but i will do my best to ask my question.

My Question
Why do you play Everquest?

Its a really simple question but Everquest has been released in 1999 and was one of the first online RPG games, which was really succesfull. Now its August of 2017 and so many wonderful and great games has been released (Wichter, Rocket League, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Diablo 3, etc.). Furthermore there are so many other RPG games like Rift, Wow, Everquest 2, Tera, etc.
But Whats your reason to play everquest still in 2017?

My point of view
i was 11 years old when everquest has been released in 1999. I played from 1999 - 2004 and had a great time. Now in 2017 i also like it to play. Why? Everquest has a special atmosphere. For me its a kind of beeing home in a game. i have spendet sooo much time (from 1999-2004) to play in zones like Highpass hold, unrest, Karanas, Befallen, Crushbone, highkeep, Mistmoore, Najena, crystal caverens, etc. With these places i connect soo much memories and a great time, also some real life friends played with me. I think its a kind of love now for this game. in Addition this game is not as easy as other online RPG games. if you die, you lost a lot of exp. secondly you have to get your corpse back and sometimes its not soo easy, depends where you have been died. Everquest is a still a challange.
So thats my reason why i still like that game.

What is YOUR Reason for everquest?

Thank you for your attention
best regards,
Elran

No other game grants the feeling of accomplishment for doing literally anything due to the brutal difficulty. Every time I barely escape death, do a quest turn-in, or run across a zone full of nasties without agroing anything - my heart is pounding.

Then there are the times you DO screw up... And think of the hours of work you lost.

The game was designed for people to work together to accomplish greater goals (or have an easier time at them) than if you were solo. It encourages communication, and the layout of the zones/zonelines ensures that (at least most) low level zones are still frequented by higher level players thereby giving them the ability to request assistance.

I played WoW for one weekend back in like 2005 and made lvl 40. Never went back.

My first week in EQ I was still dying to wolves every time I stepped out of WFP...

because it a world. it slow and unchanging and my time there is peaceful and make me happy. there more and more people who treat it liek newer games, "content" to be beat. for me, it a place. a place to do things. a place to meet people. a place to create. a place to be free and at ease.

They haven't released a game that's better than Classic EQ yet (waiting on Pantheon as a possibility)

I played EQ because an american friend of mine sent me the Kunark disc set and the strategy guide in around 1997. I played on Tunare server before there was even a european server. I started with a wood elf bard, twinked by my friend but I never catched the hang of it so I started a human monk instead from Qeynos. Moved to EK with my friend helping me leveling by killing griffins. It was cool playing duo. It became cooler with Luclin but I stopped playing around 2003.
Went back to live in 2015 when I heard I could play for free but the game didn't look like how it was back in the days. Leveling from 15 to 45 in a matter of days in CR was a joke and the "old" world (Antonica, Faydwer, Kunark) was empty of players.
So, I went to P99 and started my monk all over again.
I play for the role playing, the adrenalin, the strife of levelling your trade skills, the joy of making your own brew, your own food, your own gear.
OK, I'm not the socializing kind of guy because I don't play long enough to be of any use in a group. That's why I don't hang with a guild either, though I would gladly become part of an artisan guild.

EC tunnel beats all the games mentioned. EC tunnel can teach you how to become a millionaire in the real world (no not from RMT)

To escape, of course. The same reason people do any drugs.
