What i love about EQFollow

I have read numerous threads thru the months about why EQ is failing. I however still love this game and have done so since 'ruins of kunark' came out. some of the things i love about this game are as follows:
1. The 'unending' aspect of the game.. no matter what lvl toon i am playing, whether or not i have a group, and doing a quest, looking for a new piece of armor, etc.. there is Always something new to do or see.
2. I have made some really great friends on this game.. i have met quite a few in person over the years, in fact, i met my husband in blackborrow back in 2002.. we grouped together for two years, met, and got married. three year anniversary is in sept.
3. no matter how many jerks you find in the EQ population, there are always good people to make up for them..the jerks on EQ i stay away from just like i do the ones in RL.. the good people i cultivate friendships with just like in RL.
4. The fact that you can control what you get out of the game.. i could sit around and complain that i cant get a group at low lvls.. or i could start a guild ( which i did) looking for low lvl people that have a hard time finding groups and now i never lack for groups high lvl or low.
5. I still after all these years get the same relaxation from playing the game as i did when i first started.. yes there have been some changes, and not all of them have been great ( in my opinion) but the wonderful thing about EQ is i can stay away from most of the content and changes i dont like, and utilize the ones i do.
6. It still amazes me to this day how this game compares to Pong (which was my first game) lol... the graphics may suck to some, but to me it is an awesome thing that i have a game to play that looks great, and works.. by that i mean how it keeps up with what spells do what.. how hard youre hitting a mob, i mean my gosh.. the thought that went into this game.. and how it keeps going after all this time is amazing.
Lastly, i love EQ for the memories old and new that it gives me..there may not be as many people playing now as there were when i first started, but i do my best to help the Newbies so they will love the game and stay and keep it around a long time..

Great post to both of you :) those are all the reasons why I love EQ also so won't add anything else except YEAH!!!!

Awesome thoughts there and thank you for sharing all the positive you have gotten from EQ. I have played for over 7 & 1/2 years myself and dont plan to leave either.

Well said, you guys:)

I think the lower quality graphics help EQ. It really makes you focus on the stories and the content of the game and really allow you to get emersed inside the world.


The old pen and paper games had the best graphics of all time: your imagination.

Since 99, so everything you say touches home...will play it till they shut down the last server, hopefully many years from now

I love the movement in the game. It feels fluid to me. I love the fact i can still play at 800 X 600 resolution and have it look good. I love the game mechanics of the game.
