Odd Phase of Olden RPG's...

[Kevynne]

well everquest is the shit, and will always bee the shit.
especially classic!

SSI's Pool of Radiance. Came out in 1988 or 1989. It was one of the Gold Box games and it had a sequel or two. There was also a Dragonlance game that used the same model. Old D&D 2nd Edition stuff!

Really no ultima underworld?!?! Thats what started the 3d RPG and set the game standards that even EQ used. If you want a true throwback to the mmo world play some underworld.

My wife and I played the original Baldur's Gate on an ad-hoc network. We each controlled 3 characters... such fun. Before I met her I was a veteran of Phantasie II and Pool of Radiance et. al.

Get me out of this hell... hole...
And then I kicked him in the head 'til he was dead! Hahaha!

I played a bunch of those gold box games or advanced dungeons and dragons as they were called. I was hooked two minutes into the game and haven't stopped playing(this genre) since.
I played ultima 5 through 9 and underworld. EQ was my first MMO and for some reason, my favorite still.

You and I are the only 2 people in the world who prefer ff8 over ff7. Rinoa Heartilly & Squall Lionheart for life, yo.

We are talking about the same thing, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey! Lately I am going through the weirdest phase, ever. I didn't start playing MMO's until WoW Vanilla, so obviously I'm going to be lost, but that's half the fun I suppose. I have been playing some of the older RPG's as of late and even a few tabletops and so far I'm highly enjoying the experience.

Hopefully, I can enjoy this one just as much. Just wanted to drop by and let myself be known.

I've seen a few folks find p99 who never played in live EverQuest. I say the same thing to all of you: I am so jealous that all of this will be new content for you!

Welcome to the heap. Be aware, EQ as it was (and mostly is on this server) is more unforgiving than most games you will have played. It's not super hard, but it's not going to hold your hand and lead you to the next quest hub.

There's SO much content for completely new eyes... ah... again I must say I'm jealous of your clean slate.

Make sure and enjoy it! It's magic the very first time around =)

Oh and related to Final Fantasy...

I preferred FFIX to both VII and VIII. It had better characters and a feeling of whimsy akin to the Tales series.

Of course, my favorite FF title, and my favorite console game of all time: Final Fantasy Tactics!

EverQuest and FFT showed up side by side in Game Informer's best 200 games of all time list a few years back. 43 and 44 I think. =) My two favorite games right next to one another.
