I miss Everquest...

[Volais]

I just got an E-mail from my former right hand man (The guy I put in charge of my guild when I left) well...the whole guild is still together...no ones left. They are now a dominant force in the server...the smallest of the super-powers...but possibly the strongest. They have also done what what I asked them to do as my final wish...they promoted the RP community. And well...they're petitioning Verant to create an Item in my honor...a cheap, useless item with no material value...but...man. I miss the lot, they were like family to me. I have missed so much in the EQ world...and I wish I could go back. In many ways, it owns AO. Theres more variety (Everyone doesnt wear the same thing and weild the same items like in this game). The Tradeskills are oh so much better...things like cooking really open up the world for deep RPing. And well...I miss it. Yes its outdated and the developers dont do much to promote RPing...but it was a special time for me...because though I had played Ultima Online before (And got to be a well known map maker/traveller)...it was the first game where I started to become....friends with people.

No, Im not leaving AO, I dont intend to do so until Funcom finally finishes the story (even then i might not leave)...but...Im really missing EQ...heres to the fond memories....*Sigh* I need a root beer.

This is precisely the reason why I will never try another MMORPG. People ask me why I wont go with them to SWG and my reasons are... Ive done it all, Ive spawned for the first time, not even knowing that you get xp for each little leet or reet you kill and had to ask someone what a nano crystal does. As long as ao exists, I will play ao and when it finishes, so does my playing time forever. Rubi-Ka has almost 2 years of good and bad memories for me, Ive fallen in love in game and I'm with Chikitaa in RL now, I have been through the hardest times of four guilds and kept friends throughout. I wont move on because another game will never live up to Anarchy, nor will the people I meet ever compare to the people Ive met in Rubi-Ka. I can imagine how you feel about Everquest :/

Volais, m8...make this your EQ, just dont compare the experiences..an experience of the past is just that..in the past...the memories linger, but dont dwell on them..make the best of what is now m8...it will be history soon enough

aye...but I had to leave EQ...i didnt want to...but I kinda did. I lost my internet for like...6 months when my comps modem got all F*ed up...well...a friend really wanted EQ...so i ended my account...got him an account...and gave him the game.

I saw the EQ expansion later after I lost EQ...the game had advanced so much I though I couldnt get into it. I looked at the Planes of Power box...sighed..then put it on the shelf...then the oddest thing happened. When I put the box up there, another box fell off and fell right into my hands...I looked down and saw in Rust bown letters "THE NOTUM WARS".


Id had heard of AO...but never realy played it. It hadn't been out that long, so I look inside. It didnt impress me as much as EQ did the first time I looked at it...but It was an EQ like game, with some neat features. I needed a place like EQ....so I bought it. Though the game hasnt been as big an amazement as EQ...it has givin me some good times.

Oh well.

BTW...SWG sucks. Its for the casual gamer who will buy anything with the Star Wars logo on it. Its an insult to EQ considering the same guys made it
