    This game is by far the greatest game ever! It combines action/ adventure and sheer espionage all into one beautifully crafted game The game has not only a compelling and original storyline, but you get to know the characters. The game is worth every dollar.

    This game rocks! If you love Everquest but always wished you could play it from a recliner you need to get this game. The graphics are underwhelming but it is the game that draws you in. There is nothing better than meeting a bunch of friends in game and go out hunting together. It is also alot of fun to see some of the same locations from the PC Everquest but 500 years in the past.

    I really have to address this first. To the Jacan guy. Who the hell do you think you are to judge anything? You can't even spell. "absolutes," "Reccomond," "wone" (what the hell were you thinking on that one? Probably "Well, I have no idea which one to use, I'll use both at the same time."), "bies," "in less" (don't you mean 'unless' retard), "your" (I can I really have to address this first.

Who would listen to such a pathetic loser who cannot even spell? You sound like you know exactly what you're talking about. (That was sarcasm, like your mom sounds when she says you are the best thing that has ever happened to her). The game is awesome. The graphics are decent, but it's no Final Fantasy X. The gameplay and human interaction is amazing. Quests are much easier to obtain and there are lots of classes and races etc. to choose from. I give it an eight out of ten. P.S. Jacan, you are stupid. Don't ever dumb up any other websites with your witless banter again. You make Teletubbies look intelligent. -Guardian… Expand

    As a master of a guild in this game I must say this is one of the greatest games I have played on the PS2. 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.

    This game is one of the absolute best games. I have not played the PC version, so I have no right to say anything about that. But the ps2 version, is a wonderful game, yes very addicting, and that is good in someways, yet bad in others. This game is definitely worth my time.

    Everquest Online Adventures (EQOA) was my first and one of my most favorite MMORPG's of all time. It's THE online MMORG that got me into the genre (it's also where I met the love of my life).

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.… Expand

    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.

    The game can at times be a repetitive, dreary experience in any case. Ostensibly distilled down to lure console gamers, EverQuest Online Adventures is less about lofty quests than about repeated bouts of monster-hunting, loot-grabbing, and leveling up.

    Many will find the game dynamics too slow, the missions too tedious, and the combat dull. All this wrapped up in mediocre graphics and sound. So, in a sense what we have is an MMORPG that is made for fans of MMORPG's, and not for many others.
