Everquest

What the hell, Everquest should be #1 and we all know it! It's the grandfather of all MMORPGs, and by far the most epic of them all.

One of the many great things about Everquest is that SOE listens a great deal to player's suggestions and adds them into the game. The progression servers, for example, are awesome! People wanted classic EQ back and they got it!

I'll admit this game can be a bit too much for some people, particularly those who enjoy simpler MMOs like Runescape and WoW, but if you're up for a REAL online adventure that will challenge you, I highly recommend it.

Don't understand why this game isn't in top ten. It pretty much defined the mmorpgs and was the top one in late 90's and early 2000's. Main problem with game is its constant change that happens. Leave for 6 months come back and the game does not even looks the same. The game today doesn't even look like the original game. Definitely more challenging then wow though. Hated losing exp, got in a lot of fights on game for people getting you killed. Losing hours of exp and having to beg clerics for rezz sucked.

I recently quit playing Everquest after nearly a decade. Back from the beginning EverQuest had a HUGE following, and the numbers have definitely faltered, but if you guys don't give EverQuest the respect that it deserves, you all deserve to rot in hell for taking the new games for granted. Without this ground-breaker (plus Dark Age of Camelot, and Eve-Online *which recently broke into year 11*) a lot of the games you have now like WoW and other huge MMO's wouldn't be what they are.

I can't believe Everquest is not on top 10, it is the MOTHER of all these MMORPGS you see. It was the first mmorpg with 3D and immersive world! I remember the first time I entered Oasis the excitement and the astonishing visuals. On another note, every other mmorpg that came out including wow, daoc or wtv all originate from EQ with modifications to make them better.

This was the original. The one people lost their lives and homes and families too. Evercrack. It was WoW before there was WoW, and it was such a more complex game. I think the only debate here is which is the best MMO of all time - WoW or EQ. But I have to give it to EQ. All other MMO's are left in the dark by these 2 behemoths.

Everquest was the first MMO I played and the only one I still have respect for.

Seriously, play WoW - its too freaking easy at times. I remember running through Oasis being scared s***less of a Sand Giant coming along and pummeling the crap out of me.

First mmo I have played love it and 12 years later still play it 8-10 hours a day and still have more and more and more to do and more goals I can set. Wonderful game.

How this can't be number one is mindbubbling. This is without a doubt the best mmorpg game that I've played.

Nothing gave a better gameplay then Everquest!

One of the first, and still one of the best. Totally immersive content. I spent thousands of hours on this game. I still pop in from time to time to play.

Nothingwill ever compare to that launch day experience. It changed me forever and I was hooked. You can't ask for more.

Daddy of them all, constantly evolving,

As Hendrix for a guitarist, the same is everquest for mmorpg games. But it doesn't have so much respect.

I started playing this 11years ago with my new born grandson on my knee, he now plays along side me.

with project 1999, we get the best of the best, the father of all, the classic Everquest gaming

Nothing comes close to EverQuest. And I have tried many online games.

On it's 18th expansion, you won't find anything bigger.

This is the #1 game its huge and a blast to play
