platinum

On March 16, 1999 EverQuest set the standard for today’s MMORPG’s much like Mario 64 did for platform games. The reason I say that EQ set the standard is because the newer MMORPG take everything EQ did and they tried to improve upon it. For the most part they succeeded, creating more visually pleasing environments, easier user interfaces, and updated graphics/animation. It’s amazing how familiar EQ is in relation to the new MMORPG like Dark Age of Camelot and final fantasyfinal fantasy xi gil. After playing EQ now for over 30 hours I now know why it’s the largest and most successful MMORPG ever. Simply put, it’s still a great game and just as much fun as the latest MMORPGs available today. The only thing that it really lacks is an updated graphics engine which will be coming out in the near future.

However my biggest complaint about EQ is the graphics. It may not seem like a big deal, but it is for me. I love to enter a world with lush visuals that draws me into it just as quickly I can log in. Playing EQ after playing games like Dark Age of Camelot and ffxi was like taking a huge step back graphically. I’m sure that if I played EQ first and then those games then I’ll be able to deal with the lack of graphical detail. My point being is that I wasn’t as drawn into EQP as much as I was pervious MMORPG that I’ve played. Nonetheless, this is a great bargain for first time MMORPG players. I would highly recommend this game as a stepping-stone to the newer MMORPGs like everquest 2 platinum. This is because of EQ’s great tutorial. It’s the best one of any MMORPG on the market today.

The tutorial in full lasts 50-60mins and covers everything you need to know in order to get started. On top of that it’s completely audible and it leads you through it step by step rewarding you as you go. All the new MMORPG coming out will hopefully copy EQP tutorial format and expand upon it.

In conclusion, EQP is just slightly behind the times after being on the market for 5 years. That’s very impressive and it explains why Everquest has been so successful. With 7 expansions in 5 years EQ is an ever-changing and expanding world. Don’t expect EQ to die off silently after everquest 2 platinum is released, it’s not going down without a fight!
