Just manage your time properly [Posted on 2005-08-26]
It's really silly to harp on a game because someone with a compulsive personality plays it too often. Obviously the game is good, or no one would play it for so many hours on end. Granted, it is sad when a person looses so much time in such a way. It isn't the game that is at fault here though, the game itself is outstanding and has been going for years now with no end in sight. This is a plus to many of us who can manage our time properly and not forget about the real world out there. There is actually another expansion due out in mid September, which I am very much looking forward to.
As for this version in particular, it runs fine and I highly recommend it! It may of had some problems running about a year ago, but it's good to go now.

Boring game! [Posted on 2005-09-10]
You will spend half of your time in this game waiting because the game is designed for you to wait to recover your ability to cast spells and to heal your character. The game also has many bugs in it which makes gameplay very frustrating.

to the over reactive wife.... [Posted on 2005-12-31]
Please do not base your opinion on this game by some wife who says her husband plays tomany video games, she failed to mention she has so much time on her hands to type up a stupid post about the greatest game their is(maybe she spends to much time on the internet)... this game is great but it can take you away from your family especialy if your wife is a naggy(you know what). just my 2cents

Fun but too addicting [Posted on 2006-07-30]
I played this game for several years... literally. I loved playing this game, but don't suggest it to anyone. The game requires so much of your time and attention that it encompases your life if you are not careful. I suggest keeping away from this game and any game of the MMORPG type. For the sake of your life and financial/educational sucess don't buy this game.

beyond my personal convictions against this game, this game is one of the greatest MMOs there are. It has been running for 7 years now and there is a reason for its continuing success. Don't let its age turn you away, the EQ world is constantly being updated and made more graphically beautiful. Many people liked this, but once they changed Nektulos Forest (one of my favorite zones) I was upset.

The range of characters you can create is almost endless. There are a lot of different races and classes to choose from and that makes the begining very interesting because you get to try everything out and find what you like best. To get to the higher levels it takes a lot of time and level grinding which can get very tedious. I never got my characters past level 53 because of this (the max level is 70). Most of the game is played in a group and usually requires this unless you are a solo class like necromancer, bard, etc.

Making friends makes the game a whole lot more enjoyable. A big reason these games are so successful is because of the social aspect. One reason I quit is because all of my friends moved on to other MMORPGs that I couldn't play on my computer.

It really is a unique experience that I have not seen any other MMO match. If you can balance an extremely addictive game with a good balanced life, this game is for you.
