While playing UO, I PKed and stole a keep deed from someone I later found out to be my high school humanities teacher, she later told me about it around January of 99. My birthday fell on launch day, so I got the cd as a gift.
EQ history is a bit of a clusterfuck, the history of the Ogres from Crescent Reach just reflects the understanding that the Drakkin had of the event. Compound that with varying timelines and the whole Seeds of Destruction time loop thing or whatever the hell that was and there's no single "right answer."
Was in Best Buy with my Mother, and knew I was walking out with some game. In a rush I picked EQ not knowing shit about online gaming or even the format. I remade my same character like 4x times before I realized what servers were. Before I knew it I was a lvl 19 Warrior in Crushbone with 0 taunt skill.
It's pretty bad. They screwed with gods in various fucked up and stupid ways. Star Trek screwed with the lore but made a lot of call outs to bring in fans of TOS/TNG (Red shirt gets fried, all the same characters, yadda yadda yadda). SOE has done its best to give lore fans the finger.
This kid that I absolutely hated, that was a friend of a friend introduced my buddy to it. My buddy told me how amazing it was, and convinced me to go halfsies with him to buy the game and pay for the subscription. We were stupid though, and bought the Kunark expansion not realizing that we needed the base game until we're on the other side of town trying to install it at his house. Expansions were a completely new concept to us. So we go back, completely annoyed and begrudgingly by the original game.
It's not bad, in fact I think it's an improvement in some ways. It's just notEverQuest, though.
I'm sorry, I have to do this. For any dev reading this forum, look at that map, look at the one below, then go fuck yourself and your shitty industry.Speaking of PoH. I remember being one of the first people to map the remodel of the zone.
*shrugs*I've always been a big lore guy, and I'm more intrigued with the reimagining of the lore than I am anything else. So far, it looks like it's going to have many of the story elements that make the game "Everquest" to me, just rearranged in a new way that'll bring a sense of exploration back to learning the lore.

Can you imagine the ongoing abortion of patch cycles that would occur if MMO devs actually tried to do this, though?
He should have called the support line and threatened to quit. We had one of our guys do it once because we were too lazy to get his corpse back for him. GM told him no it's part of the game/risks/etc...but customer support over the phone had his corpse back within about 20 minutes.
Being able to see everything kills the mystery. Being stuck in one corner for eight hours is a bit much, but that doesn't mean that every player should beentitledto see and do everything in a game. And especially not on cruise control.
That 1st Fist of Light shit is fan fic. The author pulled as much stuff as he could find from EQ, then filled in the blanks. The author used to push folks on the official forums wanting to learn more about EQ lore to his website. That's a big part of why EQ lore is all fucked up. I still remember people parroting his lore on the forums.
