Summary: Dont buy it!
Review: I warn you. If you get addicted easily do not buy this game. I played for over a year and I was never happy with the game but I kept playing? Why you ask? well you work so hard to get better, but once you get better you feel like you've accomplished nothing, so you keep working hard to get better but you keep getting no where. This game is terribly addicting, you'll find yourself playing for hours and hours every day. You'll probly get on right when you get off of work and wont get off unless you absolutely have to, its that bad. I've heard of people killing themselves because they somehow lose all their equipment. They even have addiction groups to join (think AA but for EQ) to try and stop playing. How sad is that? I knew this game was consuming my life so I deleted my Characters, my account and I havent ever played since. Save yourself the trouble, enjor your life (your own, not your characters) and dont get this game.

Summary: Pros & Cons & Loss
Review: Yes, I will admit it, this is a good game. I played it for eight months and eventually lost interest.Reasons for goin' frigid?
1) I remember one of the first times I was playing this guy shouted - or whatever the exact term is, I can't remember - over the entire area that he had just leveled to 60 and was feeling very depressed. The reason is that when you invest time and energy into something something virtual that energy can't be used for something that's real. It's like preteen girls wasting their time on infatuation because it's the closest they are to true love. Except --- Most people have the option of leaving EQ and actually living their own lives. 2) I know a guy who was kicked out of college for never going to class and using the T1 line for EQ. He is now living in Texas and has a job solely to support his addiction. 3) Not impressed with the artwork/graphics/extreme polygons. (Although the textures were great) 4) I don't want to live there. 5) Neverwinter Nights. Pure friggin' ecstasy.

Summary: EQ
Review: I don't know if I could explain this game in under 1000 words... Over hundreds of patches, Sony and Verant have perfected the system in this game (though casters will always be overpowerful). For 3 years I played a Monk in this game of the reptilian race called the iksar. They regenerate faster than other races and start the game with the skill of 100 in swimming. For skills in EQ, you can pretty much do anything: fish, pottery, blacksmith, brewing and even jewelry. You are called a master when the skill reaches 100, though you can max it out at 250. My monk was a tailorer/brewer (nasty combonation i know.) As for how big the world is, i played for 3 years and explored 2 full continents and barely touched on the other 3 and then Luclin came out and added an entire new world which you could teleport to. In my mind you will never go to every place in this game. Even if you had enough time, there are factions you have to gain before most city guards will let you in. The reptilians were hated in almost every city so they pretty much stuck to their own continent until mid-level. You typically have to kill 1000 enemies of a city for them to let you in, so I went out and slaughtered little orc encampments everywhere. It was easy because they are about lvl 8 and I was level 44 so 4 hits and a spin kick later, I had human faction. If this was confusing, this is barely touching on EQ, but you'll get it all down within a week and then it gets all the more fun. As for some advice to start playin, make a caster as your first character, it makes everything go faster. I was the only true fighter where I live and I had 3 caster friends that were the same level as me, but had over 10 times as much money as I did and that is no exagerration. About the other expansions, you would only really need the EQ trilogy and the Shadows of Luclin Expansion. The Planes of Power Pack doesn't really do anything BIG for you until you hit upper level. And make sure you have something to do while waitin for boats... They go pretty slow and you generally can wait up to 15 minutes for the boat to arrive and most trips take 10-12 minutes and can pass through 2 different loading zones on the way so make sure you get off at the right one. First day I played I made that mistake and got off on an island with nothing but undead and they all were 20 levels above me... didn't go to well.

Summary: I see why this is so popular
Review: I have played the majority of these online MMORGS. Most become repetitous and boring after a couple of weeks. Everquest Trilogy has yet to become this. It's a fantasy D&D setting, so you must enjoy that, but it is massive and just to much fun.
On a bad note the graphics are about 3-4 years behind, but the game play is great. I have played for about a month, and have only ventured into about 4 zones. There are 100's of zones and different parts of Everquest that I can not wait to see. For now Everquest is still the king, I see why so many companies want to break into this market.

Summary: If You Need to Know....
Review: If you need to know whether you would enjoy EverQuest, this is the purchase for you to start off with. You will get a good over-view of the game, the feel, the requirements (both time and expense-wise), and the cost is reasonable (comparatively speaking with other or past EverQuest costs). And the first month of the montly fee is free. But the graphics are just NOT up to today's standards. If you like the game, your next choice is to pay out the same amount of money for the "Luclin" expansion to get your graphics to something tolerable. Then the prices just go up from there. If you can play and enjoy the game without becoming an ADDICT, then I would say go for it. If you already know you want to play EverQuest, to the possible exclusion of everything else, then look for the higher end of packages and expansions currently available.

Summary: Everquest, A Land Of Opportunity
Review: This game is literally the best. With even just these three editions (The Original and 2 Expansions), it is awesome. Pick from a set of classes, level up your characters, complete quests, join guilds... Almost unlimited what can be done in the game. Spells are awesome. The monsters are sweet. In short- this is truly the best game and will continue to be the best game for quite a long time, even AFTER Everquest 2 comes out. Note- $... fee/month for game time is required, but DEFINITELY worth it.

Summary: Might want to consider getting everquest gold instead.
Review: In order to get the most out of EQ, you really need all the expansions I've found. I bought the trilogy to give EQ a try but found that only having the two expansions was crippling. Most of the other players had abilities and access to features that I didn't. EQ can be frustrating, and this makes it even more so. If you get the trilogy and find you like the game, you are going to decide you need the other expansions anyway - much more expensive individually. As for the game itself, its all right. The world is big and there is plenty to explore there, but it can be terribly frustrating. The worst of it is that you start out with very little info about how the game is played. Things like when a ranger can start casting spells and what spells are available are left for you too find out for yourself. You will spend a lot of your time talking to other players and skowering the net just trying to figure out what you are doing. If you are a casual gamer, you might want to consider something else.
