Customer Reviews of EverQuest (Jewel Case)

And chances are excellent that you will be. I remember reading the manual (gosh, over two years ago) and at the end there's a bit about how to camp (log out of the game) that talks about realizing you haven't slept or eaten in what seems like days. There are honestly people out there who spent all their free time, if not their whole life, playing this game. I'm not "a gamer" but like most people who still play, I've gone through my stages of being completely addicted to the game.

EQ lets you chose any number of characters... tons of combinations, between picking a race, a class, a deity, and then concentrating points in one attribute (like intelligence of strength) or another. Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, but pick whatever strikes your fancy. Chances are excellent that you'll get a ways into playing your character and you'll wish you had done _something_ differently, but you can always start another character (up to 8 per server).

For me, the best part of this game has always been the people. If you've ever been playing a classic video or computer game and wished someone could pop in and help you with a little extra firepower, this is it. Fighting alongside characters with actual brains behind them is a lot more interesting... even if they don't always do the "right" thing. And several in-game chat options (player-to-player, group, guild, zone-wide shouting, and normal talking) make this a great game for a group of real life friends to play if local-area-network games aren't a possibility for you.

If you're looking for a cheap, fun game, go ahead and buy this version, but chances are excellent that if you get sucked in you will very much regret not having the expansions. You can buy the Trilogy (EQ, Ruins of Kunark and Scars of Velious) now. RoK means you have the option of an additional race when starting your character in addition to extra zones to explore. SoV is mainly more zones for the mid-high level characters. Of course you always have the options of adding expansions later. A third expansion, Shadows of Luclin, is due to be released in December and includes yet another race and a new class for the first time since the original, in addition to even more zones and nifty new graphics.

The first few levels _can_ get to be a bit tedious before you're a high enough level to travel safely, but after that there's more than enough variety in locations and things to hunt to keep people entertained and challenged without a whole lot of repetition. (...).

Here is the Honest Truth, Not Negative or Positive
This game is very fun if a few things happen. You must join a guild and leech off of people to get items that you will never get unless you leech better items then you don't need the item you were after in the first place. You must make friends with people who are a higher level than you or at least a veteran who has a few alt characters and his current character is equal to yours. If you do not do both of those things then you will not enjoy the game.

This game is very addictive until you run into a wall. At certain levels you will have an insanely hard time leveling up. Also no matter what you race or class you play as, you will be kos(killed on sight) to someone. The fact that a level 40-50 NPC can run up to a much weaker PC and kill him is very disturbing. On the game, I played a very hated class called a Shadow Knight. Everywhere I go, guards, good guys, and people with no lives hunt me down. Keep in mind I am level 20 while they are level 40-50. This fact alone makes travelling through some zones impossible.

The classes are horribly unbalanced. Any suggestions or petitions are completely ignored. The game become very frustrating and it will make you lose sleep and time with your friends. Since you can use magic and you never have to worry about permanently dying; the EQ world becomes better than your reality. You get sick of real life and you never want to be a part of it.

I would say this game sucks but I do like it and I am addicted to it. Don't buy it unless you have no social life already or you won't when you get done with it.
