Hi,

I'm the new guy from Germany just created an account.

My backstory is kinda funny since i've never played EQ back int he day (with 56k modem and pay by hour as a 15 year old... yeah i don't think my parents would have allowed it). I was interested in it though since i already hat the basic box for the Pen and Paper RPG "The dark eye" (biggest rpg in Germany)

fast forward last month i watched a video on youtube about Pen and Paper RPGs based on Videogames and EQ was mentioned and kinda short reviewed.... end of story i found someone on ebay selling the Players and GM Handbook as well as the Monster manual and i'm currently reading through everything. Therefore i wanted to ry this game now :-D

[Tunabros]

If you like D&D and pen and paper games, you'll love EQ.

It always itches my pen and paper RPG scratch.

I have made this rant many times:


"My fave thing about EQ is, it's a video game, but they still put descriptive text in it like its a pen & paper RPG and I have to imagine it all.

If you stand around in a cave in velious, you see the text pop up "water trips from the stalactite to the stalagmite"...

..as if the game is some kind of dungeon master haha.

It's like, hello computer, this is a video game, you can make the water drip... you dont have to ask me to just imagine it!"


Its super stupid, but its part of why I love EQ. It really is like the pen and paper games I played as a child come to life.

and yeah [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you can clearly see that EQ classic is an classic PnP just online. I mean ... we have a SPEACH skill. (btw: if i meet a dark elve... and i do not speak his language. can i understand the player when he writes or how is this implemented)

Also two questions:

can i download new UIs and Everquest HQ for the Green server?

[drackgon]

No Legal Uis for green, And everyone naturally talks in common, Players can swap to their native tongue at any time which you wont understand unless you also speak it. (can increase your skill in it by talking in party chat)
