undrtakr22 Review of EverQuest

EverQuest (1999 Video Game)

OK, here is an update to the other review.....

[9/10 · 1 May 2016]

First off, I love to play the game, it is great! Next, there are MANY variations of how you can play the game. OK, I have been playing, technically since 1999, but I have had my own account on there, since 2000, So, I do have plenty of info, and like now, there is a new highest level of 105(Only if you have the expansion just past the freebie expansion, now, so, if you do not, it is level 100, then.). Also, there are new weapons, armor and some stuff you could not get, unless you had an "All Access(Gold)" membership, you could not touch these pieces of armor, weapons, and so on, but, it has gone from "prestige" to run-of-the-mill type stuff, which helps make it a bit easier to not die as easily(lol). Also, you will have up to the CoTF(AKA Call of The Forsaken) expansion, and here shortly, will be automatically upgraded to the next expansion, when the new expansion is released(From what I have heard, it will be around October 2016.), plus, there are tons of new spells and etc, but, I suggest, if you are to play, keep in-mind, to make a lot of good friends, we are there, so, just do not linger around just 1 person, it does get annoying, especially when we tell ya, to go out, and group with others, and just talk to them, create a friendship, and maybe you can group with them, if they are much higher level then you are(The range is 1 1/2 times your level, until you hit level 70, then it goes by the cap level of 30 levels above your toon.), when you get within range, it makes a huge difference, we do not try to be mean or anything, we just get frustrated, when we are the only person ya keep bugging for "buffs(Spells, that enhance your character, or toon, as we like to say.)". Also, try to ask a lot of questions, if you have never played before, and like movies, like Dungeons & Dragons, and Lord of The Rings, and etc, but keep in mind, it won't be super easy right away, you do have to do some work to build up a friendship, and your character, so you can have a great time! Also, before I finish, to use the rank 2 or rank 3 spells(AKA rk2/rk3, is how we say it in the game.), you have to have an "All Access" account, and 1 more thing, before I forget, since so many newbies do not know this(I was 1 of them..lol), but, when you are not using your mercenary(For a bit more info, the newbies AKA "greenies" as we like to say in the game, they can only receive a Tier II apprentice mercenary, but the "silver(AKA someone who started out paying to be a gold/all access account, but does not pay anymore.)" accounts can receive the Tier V Apprentice mercenaries, while the All Access accounts can start-out with the Journeyman Tier I mercenaries and once you hit level 85, can receive the Journeyman Tier V(Highest level of mercenary you can get.) mercenaries, which will make a huge difference in Tiers, plus, when you are not using it, as in, just sitting in the Plane of Knowledge(AKA PoK in the game, where the buff timers do not dwindle down, same as the GL AKA Guild Lobby.), set them to "Passive", and when you do so, after the very next charge they will give you(Since that 15minutes would have started, obviously.), they will start to "waive" their charges, until you reset them back to their original setting(Depending on if it is the healer/tank/DPS caster/DPS melee attackers.), so you may use them to heal your toons or attack for you, then they will start to charge you, again. Also, the difference between a caster and melee is that, a caster uses spells primarily, while a melee uses their physical being, like a sword or hammer, or their bare hands, to attack with. Also, before I forget to explain this, there are countless quests & tasks to play, to go that "scenic route", so you don't have to rush your way through the levels, you can learn how to truly play your toon, by actually going through those tasks and quests, to learn what each spell or weapon can enhance your skills, or save your life, and etc. Please remember to gain as many friends, that you can, so that, if you have a quick question, they can answer them, fairly easily, for you!
