My EQ experience.. So far!

[sworde]

I don't even know where to begin, honestly. This game is just flat out genius. I love it.

I'm also extremely NEW to the EQ world so bear with me. From what I have experienced so far is just brilliant. I come from the modern day MMO playstyle ( WoW, SWTOR, ESO, etc.) and it's really cool playing this old school MMO because not everything is so flashy and all over the place, everyone is just chillin' casting spells, smacking orcs, playing songs, collecting loot and gaining wonderful amounts of XP points. EQ is so relaxing and refreshing to my mind every time I login. Logging in is probably one of the most thrilling actions you take once you and your character are in the game. From there you have this giant world to explore but not by yourself, groups are most important. Making friends in EQ is essential, everyone knows that. Groups are powerful and progressive and super beneficial when it comes to PvE. It also allows the players to connect with each other which is awesome, you don't see that in modern day mmos anymore. Everything is rushed and all about end game "content" and nobody talks in chat! That shit is wack and redundant, not to mention boring as fuck. When i play EQ there is always something new to do, always something new to see. There is always a moment where you freak out because of a Train that's approaching the group. The game is challenging and fun, it's not the same ole shit over and over again. So, Coming from WoW to EQ has been a hell of an experience, but a great one. It feels good to be a newbie again, to figure out how the game works. I'm also playing this with my friend who is a newbie too and he's loving EQ just as much as I am. Can't wait to level my toon the next time I play! My toon is in Oasis of Marr right now and the place is dangerously, nuts with the Sand Giants walking around and the orcs that have crazy, long pathing lol. Love this game. :)

I send my sincere gratitude to the GMs who keep this client alive! Thanks so much! You guys rule!
