  1. Fortunately for our loved ones, the urge to boot up a PS2 to waste entire months role-playing as an Orc who sells pomegranates or a Warrior who slays stray cats won’t be nearly so compelling thanks to graphics that often look like flattened dragon dung.

It's THE online MMORG that got me into the genre (it's also where I met the love of my life). Coming in at a time when MMORPG's were still in there infancy, EQOA defined a whole generation of multiplayer online role-playing games. Sure, the scenery, graphics, sounds, etc left a bit to be desired, but it was the story and the player-base that really sold the game. When I think back on it, everything seems iconic. From all the dings and clicks, to the musical scores. From the multitude of unique races, classes, and masteries; to the incredibly unique zones and cities; and to the truly epic continent of Norrath which I swear took a full 6 real-world hours to run from the top to the bottom of the map. There's really nothing quite like it in today's online games. Man, I would gladly donate $50,000 to help get this game back up in running. Either in its classic original state, or in a remake state.

This game is definitely worth my time. Full Review »

I have met mutiple friends and made multiple enemies at the same time. You can go on quests on your own or group up with friends or complete strangers and make friends. If there is 1 game in the world out there that i would have to pay to play this would be the one for me. Full Review »
