EverQuest Legends will be hosting a closed beta in April ahead of its planned July 2026 launch. Interested players can register for access to the closed beta by visiting EverQuestLegends.com.

EverQuest Legends Overview
EverQuest Legends is a newly reimagined version of classic EverQuest from its original release in 1999. Featuring all the magic and nostalgia of the original game, EQL is also packed with tons of new features and quality of life improvements. Most importantly, EQL has been designed from the ground up to appeal to players who enjoy playing their games solo and/or casually. While groups (up to 4 players) and raids (up to 8 players) are available, the entire game can be played, enjoyed, and experienced solo if that’s your playstyle.

In keeping with this approach to the game, EQL provides players with the ability to create immensely powerful characters by, among other things, selecting up to three active different classes per character (for example, you can make a rogue/paladin/wizard) and utilizing new ways to upgrade weapons and armor. As you level up and improve your gear in EQL, you will eventually gain the ability to take on the most difficult game content, whether alone or with a small group of friends.

Whether you’re an existing EverQuest player, a former player, or a new player that has never experienced the world of Norrath, EverQuest Legends offers the opportunity to enjoy everything classic EverQuest has to offer, plus a lot more! At launch, EQL will feature the content of Antonia (pre-Kunark), and all of the EverQuest playable races (including Iksar, Frogloks, and Kerran), all featured in the original EverQuest art style, including the classic graphics, zones, spell effects, loot, and music … plus more than a few new surprises!

Key New Features
Experience Classic EverQuest – EverQuest Legends features all of the magic and nostalgia of classic EverQuest, including the original art style, graphics, zones, spell effects, loot, and music. Enjoy the game as it hasn’t been seen, heard, or experienced in over 20 years.

Modern Game Features – EQL features tons of modern game features, including a streamlined user interface, upgraded spell and ability management, and countless other quality of life enhancements.

Forge Your Legend – EQL allows players to create unique characters by selecting up to three classes at a time, with all of the benefits, stats, spells, and abilities that come with each class. You can also upgrade your gear (up to +10) and swap and combine differentfocus, click, and proc effects on your gear. With 15 available races and 560 possible class combinations, the possibilities for forging the ultimate character are virtually endless.

Adventure… Your Way – With the additional power provided to player characters and the many benefits of a modernized gaming experience, EQL makes it possible for players to progress through the game at their own pace and to forge their own adventures, whether alone or with others. While small groups (up to 4 players) and raids (up to 8 players) are possible, even a solo player can build a character strong enough to take on the toughest challenges and acquire the most epic gear in the game.

If this game is using the same textures and assets as classic like the video is suggesting then surely the requirements to play it are similar right?

[Reiwa]

It's not impossible that it turned out exactly like that completely on accident.

I don't remember the graphics of the original being quite so bad as that. I am probably misremembering after all these decades, but that's really cheesy looking.

A lot of people talking about this clearly have no fuckin clue how long development takes on a project like this before release.

They say July release. Which means it was probably in development when THJ released.

You guys are fuckin morons.

[BradZax]

You obviously never played THJ because they would drop HUGE updates week after week without stopping.

They added features that Daybrreak themselves have said was impossible.

If anyone will hit those dates, it's gonna be those guys.

Again, speaking like someone who doesn't know fuck all about being in a big company working on a big project like this.

If you're one of two developers, who are also owners, yeah you can deploy shit right away.

But if.. ya know, fuck it. Idk why I even bother trying to communicate with you fuckwits. Morons, the lot of ya

All I want is classic EQ.

Re-released in a new engine pref.

I get there is a market for this but come on, why wouldn't Daybreak at least sanction and try to profit off a fresh server/reboot of classic EQ and see where it goes from there.

People have already built all of the bones whether it be here or LanternEQ before they shut down.

Do you think this will be a one-off project? This opens the door to all sorts of non-Live, above board EQ servers.

Speaking of stupid, getting hysterical over what you think "probably' happened.

And that's probably not what happened. Probably the success of THJ is not completely unrelated to EQ rolling out a THJ clone.

I've had enough of this hocus pokus we all believe in. It's stupid, and im calling it out. Prove me wrong with like, an ability to explain why it makes sense, without me thinking it's retarded: or spoiler: IT IS retarded. Because this science is FAKE. And Im sick of pretending it's not fake.

Time, does not change based on speed of light. If you travel 100x the speed of light, you will be the same god damn age I am when you get to your destination.

That theory is STUPID. and FAKE and I REFUSE to believe it anymore.

It all has something to do with the speed of light, or something to do with the observer? I don't know but AI is wrong, and all the scientists are wrong, and I am right, and I know it and I think you all know it too.

Why the friggen F would me going fast, make my organs age slower?! that is STUPID.

It's not real. It's fake. And not science.

This is STUUUUUPID.

Not having ever played THJ, I didn't realize how many people wanted an EQ experience where you never have to interact with other players outside of maybe discord chat. Like, I get the appeal of being able to play at your own place, and do content you'd never otherwise be able to do, but I was surprised at how many people in the EQL discord genuinely don't want to ever interact with another player.

What's even the point of EQ without any player interaction? It's not exactly like the gameplay loops are the most stimulating single-player experience out there.

[Ekco]

it's just what the modern adhd gamer craves, some single player Diablo-like

i'm surprised they even made this when the broader game industry mostly consists of "how do we turn this into an extraction shooter / Fortnite clone"

you didnt know that soloing, or solo self found was a popular way to play this game?

[GardylooGubbins]

To my mind, these are different than "I genuinely do not want to interact with or see another player."

I solo a lot due to time constraints. In theory I'm the target audience for the server. I don't want to play a version of EQ where every single zone is instanced and I never see or interact with another player character though. Even if I'm able to solo all the quest/dungeon content, I still want to interact with other players, get a port, throw out a buff or two, twink a newbie, contract a tradeskiller, etc.

But from what I'm seeing in the discord, there's a good number of people who don't want anything to do with other players. It just seems odd to me when there's so many great single player games. I feel like I'd just get bored.

[BradZax]

Its more like World of Warcraft, where you grab a friend for a daily kill that you can't take down on your own but want to.

But the majority of time are focusing on checking off the boxes that you want without requiring asking for help.

As far as the why would you want to play it?

It was a really fun game to experement and play with.

Like, you would be like, "Wow this build is STRONG! I wish I had more DPS, what if I swapped this class for that class... I oh wow I'd get a magic boost... what if I combo that with the proc, oh and I did a wizard, I could add more damage with spell damage bonuses! This sounds fun!

And you play the game and experement, and then think, man i wish I was a rogue but i had duel wield flaming swords.. and cast necromancer spells... and you do that etc.

It was just fun as fuck lol

The grinding and EXP was tuned so well, like it was difficult and required EQ like thinking. But it was easy, and fun to crush through like it was world of warcraft.

If you liked the "feel" of eq... but you also enjoy other games, it just really, really hit the spot.

[Swish]

If you're all playing the same game even solo you can still brag about Item X and then "sorry you didn't get..."

[plzrelax]

How are you going to deny content to other players?

A lot of people's idea of gaming is to play the story and when that's over they want to check boxes on a list of achievements and do their dailies. Performing those tasks gives them some kind of dopamine hit.

Now, imagine making these changes, using the IP of your own company (or with full permission) of that company. Also imagine doing it the other way and getting your anus reamed by lawyers by not getting permission and doubling down so badly that you (potentially) endangered the whole EQ Emu community (who btw supplied the software tools and framework) that your good works (admittedly, they were) were derided by everyone who hadn't cucked themselves for THJ or were clueless as the to the ramifications such a defence posed.

A classic EQ server with instancing would appeal to me. I am not much interested in the other stuff such as solo, multi-class, etc. Instancing though would make it to where all groups/raids can see all content.

Looksmaxing stops being looksmaxing and becomes a human right at what point?

It falls under the free range of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness thing we used to do before we had a king.

[BradZax]

So, anyone who doesn't like looksmaxing is evil, right?

[Cecily]

I'm pretty indifferent to what other people do when it doesn't effect or otherwise harm me or others. At the core of the philosophy, people are trying to look their best. There's obvious social benefits and that makes it a legitimately worthwhile pursuit. Women have been doing it forever. Kinda dumb for men to not follow suit.

In the Everquest Legends beta. Maybe somebody will find it appealing but it's just an easy zerg game with no strategy. Even the higher difficulties, there isn't any pulling, CC, or planning people just run in and kill everything.

That's fine I guess if people find that entertaining, I find it boring. I only hope this opens the door for an official classic server (maybe with raid/dungeon instances)

What helped me to wrap my brain around the EQL concept is to imagine the combat more like Diablo II but with EQ world and mechanics.

Idk if that changes anything for you as far as enjoying its easier difficulty, but it helped me to get behind enjoying it.

[Cecily]

That's not the concept. That was THJ's concept, EQ ARPG. Legends concept is lets monetize THJ's thing.

Well, of course it is. Daybreak saw the cashcow THJ was, I dont blame them one bit.

And yeah, maybe its not full on ARPG style like THJ was, but compared to P99 its definitely got more of a D2 style vibe with nearly everything being soloable.

[BradZax]

Yeah, I think EQL is gonna land somewhere in between. If we're lucky.

I thought it would be so rad to raid in THJ but to make a mob you'd need to raid it would have to have like a trillion HP

For grinding AA in seb you could pull all the frogs to the cyrpt. Then do jugs at trak lair. And be back up to just in time for respawns.

It was fun, but how you gonna make a raid with that being the grind. 😕

[Reiwa]

How does something like necro fit into the A? Are dot classes sidelined?

[Evia]

From what ive read, casters are a step behind rn compared to melee...but I'm sure theyll balance that before Julys launch. At least I hope so.

[Vexenu]

How does something like necro fit into the A? Are dot classes sidelined?
The game is faster paced due to weaker mobs and greatly increased out-of-combat health/mana/endurance regen (each gaining 4% per tick, so you can regen a full 40% in only one minute, and you don't have to med/sit for this benefit either). This fundamental design choice has the side effect of tremendously devaluing any sort of "efficiency" spells, like DoTs, and health/mana regen spells. Therefore the only DoTs worth using are the very short duration ones (<1 min), and only then on the higher difficulty levels where mobs have more HP. Necros are currently one of the worst classes in EQL, because their primary strength in the traditional game (mana efficient damage and healing) has been rendered totally irrelevant.

From what ive read, casters are a step behind rn compared to melee...but I'm sure theyll balance that before Julys launch. At least I hope so.
They are adding a system for casters similar to the melee stance system (I think it is called "Invocations"), but it has yet to be revealed exactly how it will work. Hopefully it does help, because casters are definitely weaker as it stands, and will remain so absent a serious buff/intervention of some sort. The nature of EQL's item upgrading process alone benefits melee classes much more than casters, and the stance system only adds to the disparity (i.e. Offensive stance doubles auto-attack damage, Defensive stance halves incoming damage, Striker stance multiplies Backstab/Flying Kick/Frenzy damage by 3-5x). Casters really need something like this. They also may need ways to upgrade spells the way that items can be upgraded. I also expect them to make a lot more adjustments to spells the way they did with Cleric CH (converting a 10 sec cast to a .25 cast with an 18 second delay). I think other heals will get similar treatment, and perhaps some nukes as well. We should also see upgrades to pets in the form of pet stances. I also wouldn't be surprised if Necros in particular have their DoT lines adjusted to tick much faster, doing full damage in something like 5-6 ticks. This would make them much, much better than they currently are. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

[Wayward]

I'm glad I read this thread to dissolve my interest in EQL. I'm happy for y'all to have something that will scratch your itch, but this seems like it's only EverQuest in name.

One of the reasons I love EQ is that each class fills a specific niche (and it's incredibly difficult game by modern standards) and requires class synergy between separate players to achieve success.

This seems like it's just a way to milk money from people who love the Lore, world, graphics -- but it fundamentally changes what made EQ great.

My question: Did all of you who are swooning over EQL also like PoP? Or did you feel like the fast travel ruined EQ?

[BradZax]

Is the game gonna have like zone wide instancing how is it gonna work with everyone being able to farm the sisters and purity belts at level five?

Yes. One of the biggest appeals of THJ was a chance to play in Luclin (which child me remembered being a lot less terrible than it is) and PoP, the best expansion. I missed AAs dearly and THJ let you acquire them quickly. And I legitimately despise classic EQ, pre-Kunark, and will never play a server like that again. I also fucking hate the other players in EQ. THJ was a way to play EQ without having to interact with others besides to buy things, a good compromise.

Happy for you - not being sarcastic or facetious.

Happy for all of you. I, too, love the world, lore, races, classes, etc. Sounds like EQL will scratch a lot of itches.

I'm just trying to sniff out the folks that are classic die-hards and are constantly opening bug forums here to make things "more classic" but will happily jump ship to EQL because what they really want is what you described.

Wish I had time to play any games these days I'd play Monsters n Memories, as it seems more in the vein of OG EQ than EQL does.

[Cecily]

It's a balance between more classic quality control and more classic autistic resistance to change. A lot of the changes were quality of life improvements, and I'm for that, but eventually your cat name Tibbles loses one too many whiskers and anthropomorphizes into a sexy cat lady and ushers in a new generation of IT professionals. Great in a lot of ways, but no longer a thing you can love or even understand.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

I'm just trying to sniff out the folks that are classic die-hards and are constantly opening bug forums here to make things "more classic" but will happily jump ship to EQL because what they really want is what you described.

I think it is fine to want/play both. P99 is one of the only MMO's that is still playable without the various QoL changes, like instancing.

When you want the non-instanced experience, play P99. When you just want a quick EQ fix, play EQL, Live, or the TLP's.

I am not saying this is your view, but I never understood why some people want P99 to become just another instanced server with QoL changes. There are plenty of options for that kind of game on the market already. Let P99 be the one place that caters to the classic crowd.

[BradZax]

If the zones are not instanced this server is gonna be a shitshow.

I guess they'll probably do shards or something.

I read that if you kill Frenzied Ghoul, everybody who is tagged as a contributor to the kill (like group members) will get their own corpse essentially. So a group of 6 may get 6 FBSS's from one Frenzied Ghoul kill.

I haven't done too much research though, so I could be wrong.

The idea would be to just group up at sisters so everybody gets loot.

But idk how necessary farming plat will be if every group member getd their own corpse. At that point it is probably faster to just farm the items you want. Prices will also be low if all items are in high supply.

Hope they are smart enough to prevent item duplication.

Enchanters load up their charmed pets with weapons and gear they can essential get back.

I could see this slipping through the cracks where every corpse happens to have the equipped gear.

That's a good point lol. Idk how many people are going to be charming though.

Unless they increase mob difficulty significantly, the three class system is probably going to render charming obsolete. An indiual player will be way better than a charmed pet. Charming is only good because charmed pets can be stronger than players and summoned pets.

[BradZax]

Man i was just thinking it would be really fun if you could combine items in strange ways to make your own custom items, or at least result ina vast varriety of unique items with even random custom effects, for us to farm, grind farm, and experement with.

Its a tripple class server, so that would be really cool to like, combine some item stats in interesting ways.

Like if it took 10 fungies+10 Vindi BPs to make A fungied breastplate of the vindicator.

Would be able to farm stuff for daaaays and daaays.

The idea would be to just group up at sisters so everybody gets loot.

But idk how necessary farming plat will be if every group member getd their own corpse. At that point it is probably faster to just farm the items you want. Prices will also be low if all items are in high supply.
Every player in the group gets an individual copy of the killed mob's loot table, but not necessarily the same items. Looted items are made NO DROP when equipped, and are also made NO DROP after they are traded once. The combination of items being both easily farmed and unable to be resold means that the economy of EQL will be drastically different from a normal server. There won't be much of a reason to farm plat except to buy consumables like peridots and potions. The devs seem to be designing a server where the player is intended to loot most of his or her own gear. Paradoxically though, they may have actually made gear so cheap and easily available that even high end things end up being given away for free to new players. For example, a Cloak of Flames +1 has basically no value to a player who's wearing a Cloak of Flames +7, since he would need something like 63 extra CoF+1s to upgrade his cloak to a +8, and the diminishing returns aren't worth it at that point. And since it can't be resold once traded, its value is limited. Most such items will probably end up just being offered to new players.

This is actually my biggest concern with EQL: that gear will become so cheap and easily acquired that there is no satisfying feeling of progression after you've leveled your first class combo to 50.

That is my concern as well.

There's nothing for the fat cats to keep them grinding? Yikes

so, thj.

THJ mitigated this issue by just being absolutely FUN AS F.

EQL looks fun too.

I mean ive gotten every item in the game many times over, i just like playing eq.

Im really skeptical this will feel much different than THJ except for slight differences in gameplay.

for them on thj there were like unique pet illusions and weapon illusions (that were all gaf eq live models) that cost millions of plat to gamble for.

But i never saw the appeal.

Hope they are smart enough to prevent item duplication.

Enchanters load up their charmed pets with weapons and gear they can essential get back.

I could see this slipping through the cracks where every corpse happens to have the equipped gear.

Dupe bugs are an old stalwart of MMO launches.

Definitely the time to play, if you are going to play.

What item is everyone looking forward to duping?

[OriginalContentGuy]

Godly Plate of the Kael

Godly Plate of the Kael

Love the Diablo 1 reference lol. That is what I am calling Vindi BP from now on.

[OriginalContentGuy]

Stay a while and listen, dupe

[OriginalContentGuy]

Hey you know who might be excited for EQL? Rogean I bet.

Now he get payed to listen to whinging plebs who want more pixels.
Also will never hear the term Shits Classic.

[Kaia]

Yeah, it’s a safe bet Rogean’s got a vested interest. Funny how things change, huh? Used to be folks were just genuinely into the game. Now it's all about content and engagement metrics. "Shits Classic" – that's a good one. I bet there’s a whole marketing team working to avoid that term.
