Professor Syp (a wise man indeed but I have a mild inclination that he’s not a real professor) issued a general call today for bloggers with experience with Everquest 2 to write an article about five features or aspects of EQ2 that are better than World of Warcraft. Being a EQ2 fanboi, how could I [...]
One of the reasons that I utterly adored Everquest 2 was because of my guild. Even though I was an experienced MMO gamer by the time I hit EQ2, I had never been in what I would call a truly amazing guild and it wasn’t until about a year into playing EQ2 that I found [...]
Any Everquest 2 player who’s ever betrayed from Qeynos to Freeport will know exactly what I’m referring to with this post’s title. For those of you who don’t, let me explain.
Players in EQ2 can choose to betray their resident city and join the opposing faction and, in order to do so, they must complete a [...]
I recently resubscribed to Everquest 2 and decided to start a new character, an Ogre called Scarscream (that’s ‘Scar-scream’ not ‘Scars-cream‘… although either way works). He’s a Shadowknight although I intend to betray him to a Paladin but stay over at Freeport (any class can play on any faction on Nagafen) thus meaning I can [...]
Strange how the interweb works sometimes. I was reading West Karana and then followed a link to MMOQuests were I found some info about the arrival of Kurn’s Tower to Everquest 2 in GU #52. Naturally, being a huge fan of the zone in Everquest, I was pumped right away. You can find the offical [...]
Coincidentally just as Tobold posted an article about taking a break from WoW, I’ve been considering returning to Everquest 2. I think WoW is a great game but I’m really missing the social aspect that other MMOs have to offer. For a game with so many players, the game feels surprisingly lonely and people just [...]
Travel in MMOs is a tricky thing to get right. It’s more than just a way to get a player from A to B, it’s a way to immerse them in the online world and let them experience the natural flow of it. It’s also a very hard thing to balance. If it’s too easy [...]
Everquest 2 is a great game. In fact, I think it’s one of the best MMOs currently available. I played it pretty much solid for 3.5 years, from the day it was released to about May this year. I took a few small breaks to try out other games but I always came back to [...]
I played Everquest for approximately 5 years starting just after it was released in 1999. In that time I did exactly 3 quests (OK, fine, if you include the “fetch me 6 fire beetle eyes” and the “hand in 20 bone chips for Kunark faction” quests then it’s probably about 5). The 3 quests I [...]
I don’t know about Ultima Online but Everquest was one of the original MMOs and it certainly had a fair amount of humour in it, often little nods towards obscure geeky references designed to give us a smirk if we noticed. You can find a full list of them here.
Everquest 2 was a lot more [...]
