Everquest

Just wondering, any EQ players out there? Past or present. If so, what lvl, class and server are/were you on.
Many mmorpg's out there but EQ, as far as im concerned is still the big dog of the yard.
I play on the seventh hammer. Have a 66 Necro and 41 Monk, plus a few experiments.

I've always wanted to play a decent mmorpg but I don't like the idea of paying monthy fees and so forth. Therefore I may stray into Guild Wars but I am not so sure because of the mixed reviews.
Anyway, I don't wish to hijack your topic but how much is the Everquest monthly fee?
Also do you have to pay for ingame items with real money?

Thanks

$14.95 a month mate. You can download EQ and the next two expacs I believe for free and play a trial for 30 days.
As for items paid for with rl $$$, thats a bit of a back door subject. It is against SOE's policy but it happens quite alot. Some folks are all for it, some dead set against. I see no reason whatsoever to do it. The game is very enjoyable playing the natural progression. All good things come to those who wait.
It is a great game, but be warned, it is highly addictive, hence the nickname....Evercrack.

Thanks a lot mate. Do you lay EQ 2 or the first one?
Also I know what you mean about the addictive side of things, back in the day when I used to play Runescape I wasted at least a year of my life on that .

Thanks mate

I tried EQ2, but did not like it. Also tried World of Warcraft but just not for me.
I'm solely an EQ junkie these days.

Ok I might give it a go mate but I still think $14.95 every month is a bit steep to play a game. And if it does take up your life like you mention then I fear I may be spending like all my money.

Thanks
