EverQuest II

play it quit looking for opinions have your own

keeps me out of trouble

[h1]A GAME I MOSTLY REMEMBER THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S LOVE FOR IT[/h1] My Steam playtime doesn't really represent how much I played EverQuest II. I originally played through the standalone launcher and probably spent somewhere around [b]500 hours[/b] in the game. But honestly, one of my strongest memories of EverQuest II isn't even my own progression. It is my uncle. His character was called [b]Jiraiya[/b], and he absolutely loved this game. You could genuinely feel how much EverQuest II meant to him. I even got to raid with him for a while, and those are probably some of my favorite memories from the game. I eventually stopped playing, but not because EverQuest II was bad. [b]Real life simply got in the way.[/b] [h2]WHAT I REMEMBER LOVING:[/h2] * A huge MMO world * Great memories from raiding * Tons of things to discover * A strong feeling of progression * An incredibly passionate veteran community * Housing that was honestly amazing The housing deserves a special mention. [b]Even today, I still remember how much freedom it gave you.[/b] For someone who enjoys decorating and creating their own little place inside an MMO, EverQuest II did this incredibly well. [h2]ONE THING I DID NOT LIKE:[/h2] My biggest negative memory was the customer support. This was [b]more than 10 years ago[/b], so I cannot say how it works today. Whenever I actually managed to reach support, my problems were usually solved. But at the time I remember having to make paid phone calls to contact them, which I absolutely hated. Again, this is an old experience and may no longer represent the current support system. [h2]FINAL THOUGHT[/h2] I still recommend EverQuest II. But I think this is one of those older MMOs that becomes MUCH easier to appreciate when you have friends to play with or an experienced veteran who can show you the world. Playing completely alone as a new player might be overwhelming. Playing alongside someone who already loves the game? [b]That is where EverQuest II can become something special.[/b] Maybe my uncle Jiraiya is still somewhere out there playing it today. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised. [h1]VERY FOND MEMORIES. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE.[/h1]

WAS ONCE GREAT FELL FAR FELL FAST my account looks new but i played years in prime Ummudien a barbarian monk was my main

I think this has ruined the way I remember EQ2, I could be wrong. But back then it could barely be run and it had very good graphics and real 7.1 sound

this game could be my father

This game is one of the top 5 MMOs out there. The writing for the quests is clever and engaging. The character customization is unmatched and the exploration endless. While the graphics are old, the style fits the fantasy genre real well. There is always active communication on the guild and general chat as well. I have played all of the big big name MMOs out there and this will be my main for years to come.

I've dabbled over the years, but it took joining during a time locked server event to really get the feel for the game. Playing on Wuoshi with a ton of others doing low level content, a thriving auction house and helpful community members willing to group up, has really opened the game up to me in new ways. There's so much here, the real drawback is the dated UI and the inability to scale for 4k without using 3rd party stuff.
