EverQuest Sucks!

[Sleestak]

What the hell is wrong with all of you people that play this game? A friend has been bugging me for months to start playing it so I finally bought the "Gold Edition" tonight and installed it. WHAT CRAP! Good lord the graphics suck ass, the game play is clunky, and the game is far too deep. Depth in a game is nice, but some of the petty tasks you have to learn just to play are crazy. You mean to tell me that I can be a grown man, practice magic or wield a sword in combat but I don't know how to use a compass? Give me a break. What I can't figure out is why there are legions of Uber nerds that live for this game and get totally wrapped up in it. Get the hell up from the computer, get out of the house, or your parent's basement, and go the freak outside and interact with REAL people. I know it sounds crazy but even though REAL people can't use magic, kill dragon's, or make you a boffo suit of armor, they are still very interesting and fun to be around. So come on lard ass, put down the 2 liter of Code Red, the super size bag of Doritos, and start living a life that doesn't involve dwarfs, elves, or scantily clad women who are really 60 year old male pedophiles.

I didn't find the game enjoyable at all either.

as an ex-diablo nut I concur

 

[Boogak]

WTF??? I had oodles of fun clicking my "Sense Heading" button every 4 seconds on each and every character I had!!

Dude, you realize no everquest player is ever going to read this....well, because they're playing that blasted game.

Ah, oh well, it's fun to make fun of them at least.

Good point. They are probably all off somewhere proving how dig of a bick they have by slaying the mighty dragon Notgonnaevagetlaid, or some other lame ass sh!t like that.

Hey stupid... you have to buy a compass. When you use "sense direction" you aren't using a compass. You are using ESP or something..

In any case, EQ sucks, but it's the best MMORPG thus far. It actually has atmosphere, unlike AC and AC2.

Oh well that just makes it SO much better. Silly me. Actually I was told by the friend that even if you can afford a compass and manage to get your hands on one you still have to learn how to use it or it is only around 80% accurate.

The game sucks and the people that live and breath it need to get a real life.

n00b you bind the sense heading key to a directional key so it presses it automatically

Uh oh. Sounds like I might have offended an EQ junkie. Just so you'll know, you don't have magic powers in real life. You might as well stop throwing little balls of tape at me and yelling "Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!" because it just won't work man. It just won't.

 

[Doggiedog]

Dude, the game came out 3 years ago. Of course the graphics are going to suck.

 

[etalns]

I've been a faithful everquest player for several years. Personally, I could care less about others opinions on the game as I have tons of fun playing it. It does require some petty tasks at the start, but the high end game is the best out there and is very enjoyable.

Sorry that you had to play a game that even took an ounce of intelligence...

 

[CraigRT]

EverQuest Sucks!

Amen to that.
I wouldn't buy it for $1
u think i am kidding?? no.

 

[Leetman]

Yes, yes it does.

<--- Just ended 2 year EQ addiction.

You really think playing EQ takes intelligence? Come on man, it's a mindless romp through some fantasy land. Sure it might take some skill at the various types of fighting, tasks, etc... in the game but intelligence? Ummm I think not. The friend that wanted me to get into the game has an 8 year old daughter that plays the game. Does that make her a child prodigy? No, it makes her a child who has learned some game playing skills and who will most likely grow up with all the social skills of a mushroom.

I used to play EQ but haven't for the past 6 months or so because I just lost interest. Anyways... you are taking this way too seriously. You mean people don't fight dragons and wear armor all the time in real life?! Of course they friggin don't, it's a fantasy game. Do thousands of teams of terrorists and counter-terrorists murder each other with machine guns day after day in real life? Not in the way it happens in CS (and yet many people still enjoy it! omg!). Computer games don't have to model real life to be fun... sometimes that's why they are fun... because it's stuff you never could or never would do in real life.

Well, you sure as hell haven't experienced high end game.

For some of the encounters that players in the high end of games do, it takes hours of putting plans together and basically curnching numbers to see if you have enough DPS (Damage per second) to kill the dragon, giant, etc.

It's not as black and white as you may think.

I don't think I'm taking this too seriously, but I am baffled by the people who do. This friend of mine lives and breaths this game and has a group of 17 people that meet weekly to talk about their latest exploits. There are people I work with who are the same way. God help you if you are ever at lunch with them because it's all they talk about. Never mind that you don't have a clue what they are saying, they just keep going on and on and on and on about it like it is real life. You pass one of them in the hall and say "hello" or "how are things?" and they say something like "great, I got two orange bulbs last night. Just enough to make 40th level." or variations on that theme.

Never had that happen to me, ever thought that maybe they don't like you?

 

[hdeck]

here's an idea...get new friends and stop whining. though i've never played the game, i've never seen the point of bashing people who do.

They actually sent it to me for free. I threw it out.

Then they tried to send me the PS2 beta version a few weeks ago (no idea why). Threw that out too.

That must be it. They don't like me so they feel the need to give me every small detail of their latest quest. Yep, that's it. Man why didn't I see it when they kept inviting me to play the game with them? Thanks for opening my eyes oh wise one. I will honor you and pay tribute with 100,000 platinum to you every morning. May the trolls of lotamuck never cross your path, and may the luck of Shamus McGoldenshaft follow you all the days of your life.

 

[Shelly21]

Well, I know that at least a couple got married in real life because they met on EQ... so some of them do get laid. (That girl could've done better thou...)
