Eq legends is a remixed re-release of EverQuest 1 with some modified dungeons and loot, focus more on single player experience with 3x class per character, instanced zones with difficulty selector, etc. I’m curious if anyone here is looking forward to playing, boycotting due to cash shop/daybreak/thj lawsuit etc, watching streams but not planning to play themselves, etc. price tag is 20usd for the game and first month then 10 per month subscription with time locked servers releasing Kunark planned for end of year I think.
I didn’t start playing until after The Ruins of Kunark was released.
I started with Barbarian warrior, I learned the game mechanics with him and then later set him aside and played an Iksar Monk.
And then I double boxed the Barbarian Warrior and a Halfling Druid. Damn those were good times. I was never much of a raider, I just couldn’t dedicate the time. But double boxing those two toons was a great way to waste a Saturday.
EQ was addictive on a whole other level.
I went into a Wizards of the Coast in 2002/2003 and there was a guy in there playing EQ. His toon’s name was an odd color. Another dude who was watching him play told me that you get that when you have logged 500 days played. 500 real life days. The game was just over three years old at that point. That means the guy has spent half of those three years logged into the game. I don’t know how that was even possible.
