Let us know if you plan to play. I haven't made the toon yet. You can get up to 500 free station cash if you sign up for Free Realms and Star Wars Clone Wars. It's enough Station cash to buy any race that you want. Unfortunately it's not enough to purchase any class that you want sad

pretty much, you can run around the world, but you gotta pay to do anything else haha. All my accounts are "silver" because I had once subscribed long ago, so I can't complain about that.

I remember when Everquest, Ultima Online and Asherons Call were the only major MMORPG games on the market.

You can level and do all the quests, you just can't use the broker, limited space slots, only 3 classes, 3 races, lots and lots of limiting factors. SOE has some of the worst "free" games out there. It's more like a trial.

I appear to be addicted. Lots of fun with mercenaries. I am two boxing a wizard and a necromancer. Apparently one of my accounts had 1000 station cash for free. Can't complain about that.

Never played. Always tempted. I fondled the box in CompUSA a hundred times. Then i got the game magazine with that crappy AC beta disc....

I think i will give it a look.

4 races, 4 classes, you can BUY things from the Broker you just can't sell things.

If you're Silver, which most people probably would be as they must have owned EQ1 at SOME point, you can get 1000 AA's, which isn't bad. Pretty much you can do quite a bit of the game for free, much better than EQ2's F2P.

playing EQ1 is like driving a model T Ford, sure it beats walking but is far from a ferrari testarossa


take away the parts that make a game fun and non-grindy and you have EQ1


plays, looks and feels like a 13 yr old game

To me modern games that have a billion quests are the ones that feel grindy. I miss being able to run and camp somewhere. In this game I can take camp and surf forums while I grind. Just like the old days.

Crescent Reach is a Hot Zone for 1-20, meaning more xp. Just follow the Hot Zones.

playing eq1 is like waking up and you're 13 and in grade seven, it's like going back in time.

all the mmorpgs since eq1 have been an improvement, why didn't eq1 improve on it's self?


maybe that's what people like, i'm sure their fan base has been with them all this time
