EQ1 hands down, also the only necromancer (read: real necro) in any mmo. Remember that eq1 came about when the mmo was meant to be a table top experience in a virtual world. Nothing else is like that or comes close.
I have to say that THANK SWEET CHOCOLATE JESUS there are no addons. Some addons are cool, combat text, quest helpers. But ones that allow you to see what the other player in PVP are casting is outright retarded.
As most gamers say L2P noobs. Learn…
Gratz but.....I dont know that it should have been in that list. It had a big budget behind it and launched as a P2P MMO.....which drew income from Box sales, Lifetime membership sales & monthly subs.
F2P for a few months suddenly makes it eli…
Thanks for the response. I think I will start account up again soon, but still want to hear what others have to say....the opinions seem a bit mixed lol.

Let me start off by saying that in part I agree with Delvie - a highly optioned subscription model has its perks.
The issues that I have with MMO's that are F2P with Item Malls are simple:
1 - When the item malls contain armor, weapons or conten…
I think one thing that everyone forgets that EQ had a blend, sorta-kinda, of Level + skill based gaming. If you were leveling a Wizard you had to level your Conjuring and Evocation, etc. You also needed to specialize at some point in one of the magi…
I really have to weigh in with the EQ1 necromancer! Damn that class was just some kinda good
Other decent necros:
Vanguard
D2
EQ2 (Not nearly as good as EQ1)
EQ has seen its best days already, and to that end i think the idea of launching a prequel or re-hashing EQ2 to be more like EQ1 but with better graphics and different playstyle options would be more viable from the SOE stand point.
As an old sc…

Cater to the raider might be the mantra of SOE now, but back in the day when the game was really jumping SOE kept releasing more content for the level 35 - 50 player than raiders. Not until Luclin and PoP did the expansions take the turn towards the…
Let's be honest EQ, awesome as it is, cant compete with the ease of play of games like WoW. And as great as i still think EQ is it doesnt have 7million active accounts.
EQ could have still been a powerhouse but it would have required such a big o…
I think EQ is limping on, but i will say that i have friends that are still actively raiding as if there was no population drop at all. EQ will probably live on for sometime now. The only thing that could give it a new boost would be if all the othe…
