Return to EverquestReturn to Everquest

RETURN TO EVERQUEST!” It sounds like and epic movie but it’s really just MMORPG.com writer Phil James on a hunt to find an MMO home and going back to familiar territory.  Phil has fond memories of Everquest from years ago and he jumps back in to see if it still captivates. Check it out and then let us know what you’re thinking in the comments.

You never forget your first love. I first came to mmos with the arrival of Star Wars Galaxies. I was living with a huge Star Wars fan at the time (huge meaning a dedicated fan that is, not morbidly obese) and he couldn’t get his wallet out fast enough to buy Galaxies on its release. Being a video game junkie I gave it a go, but wasn’t hooked. Sorry, but my geek credentials don’t extend to being a fan of the holy trilogy – I’m ignoring episodes 1 – 3. However, I did get my first taste of mmos and a pattern was formed in my mind; I had discovered where my tastes lay. Not long after SOE released a fantasy mmo (much more my cup of tea) and upon trying Everquest II I was hooked, my preference had blossomed into full blown love.
