Anyway, I\'ll stop bitching about EQ.... it is fun, when you don\'t have to deal with the long camps and kills, or any of the idiots that seem to plauge the game.

I have a level 55 Bard on Ayonae Ro.

Maybe I\'ll make a character on your server and we can go hunting.  Your monk your only guy?


Hmm... EQ was most fun for me at lvl 60. Before that, it was all about lvling for me... and thats way boring after 50lvls... from 54 to 59 it was like hell.... I hate exping. Doing raids in high lvl zones (Im not talking about trakanon, poh / pof etc...) to see new zones that is hard to get into (pog, st , vt etc), doing epics... there is a lot more to do at lvl 60 then from 1 to 59.

A mini review from the mmorpgs I have played:

Everquest: Ok, heard enough about this game in this topic now hehe ;) But if you like teamwork, lvling (gaining new skills, spells, equipment etc). Its not much about roleplaying... but none of the mmorpgs I have played shows much roleplaying anyway.

Anarchy Online: Nice graphic, even though the character models look kinda stupid. Music is the best part of the game actually. It isnt as stable as EQ.. lag problems. The game have a nice story... even though none of the players care much about it. A lot of peeps say it sucks... because it did, in the early days,.. had huge problems with server lag. Most of this problems are gone now, but because of this... the community for this game isnt that big compared to other mmorpgs.

Dark Age of Camelot: It has pvp that is better then any of the other mmorpgs. You have to choose between 3 teams. Camelot, Midgard or the elves. You lvl up your character the same way as u do in AO and EQ. At lvl 15 or so , u can explore the unsafe zones.. where pvp is allowed. And wars often happens between the 3 teams . The graphic engine kinda sucks... the sound sucks (so do EQ sound though), the characters move way too slow, the mobs (monsters) look all the same. U fight a bat at lvl 1 and u fight a bat at lvl 25... and the world isnt big. The positive fact is PVP... if u want to fight with your allies... protecting towns and rushing your enemies in a real war etc.  But I think Shadowbane will be better in this part when it will be released.

What are raids?

Agnino mentioned the story in AO. What is the storyline in these games you guys have mentioned?

I kind of want to get into a game before I get SW:G so I\'m not a noob to the whole MMORPG scene. I just can\'t wait to develop my Wookie Jedi Master. :D

Here is a example for a Raid !

Your Guild / clan are going for a raid today in Temple of Veeshan (dungeon) About 30 players from this clan are grouping together to a common goal. To kill a huge dragon, but to do this.. they first have to battle their way through the dungeon. Killing all the mini bosses, and regular monsters before they reach this dragon (the boss). When u kill a monster / boss they drop items from their corpses.. we call this Loot. This is the main reason for raids, to gain loot for the different members of the clan... so the clan can be stronger.

The team behind Everquest is the same that are making Starwars Galaxies.
I advice you to try Everquest or Shadowbane.  EQ has the biggest community right now... Shadowbane is new with a lot of new ideas.
Here is a few pictures from:
Everquest:

Ah, Shadowbane.   I remember hearing about that thing a long time ago, and about how it was supposed to be the god of MMORPGs.  Did that thing ever make it out yet?  If it did it had a damn quiet launch...

I think I\'m going to get EQ tomorrow. Seeing as how its made by Verant it will me help learn the basics for SW:G. Anyone have any tips for when I start out and/or free stuff to give me?

BTW, Is EQ the game that people were selling houses for on Ebay at prices upwards of $1000?

Thanks for all of the info, guys. Its much appreciated.

Yep, thats the one.  I may look addicted, but you don\'t really understand addiction till you play this game.  My uncle says its harder to quit than smoking.

[smartass mode]Actually, the first MMORPG was released in 1991 with the TSN dialup gaming network, titled.. Shadow Of Yeusevius. It was also the first MMORPG to recieve an expansion pack.. Fates of Twinion.[/smartass mode]
