Video Game Reviews of EverQuest
Customer Review: A truly memorable game
Summary: 5 Stars
EverQuest is the kind of RPG that more old school gamers would want to play, but it is still very appealing to those who play the newer RPGs. It plays similar to the text-based MUDs that developed over the past few decades, but it is much deeper and enriched with eye-pleasing graphics and a fantastic player base (2000+ per server).The base game world of Everquest is enormous. there are at least a handful of 'zones' (areas of play) for every character level. With the release of Kunark and Scars of Velious, there are at least 20 zones for high level characters alone. the character customization is very good: after choosing name, you choose race and class (some races cannot become certain occupations) and allocate statistic points. you can also customize the face of your character, but not the body (the equipment you wear further alters your look). finally you choose from a range of deities; necromancers have to worship the more evil deities while paladins and clerics worship the good deities....
Customer Review: Great game!

Well, it might not be the best game in the world but EverQuest has a lot of expantions, and a lot of people play it. If your looking for a good time and don't have a lot of money Sony's EverQuest might be the way to go!Customer Review: Great if you like MMORPG
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed this game when I first started playing it. It was easy to level. It was fun to see new stuff. The skills were cool, and the graphics were great.However, it got to the point where it was taking weeks for me to reach the next level. I'm a casual gamer, and as such, I don't spend a large amount of time online. If you don't have that time to invest, there is no future in this game.
It also helped me come to the realization that I don't like massively multiplayer online games, for several reasons. 1. The people tend to whine and generally be rude. This is not a blanket statement as I have seen many players that are cool. 2. There is no end. There is no winning this game. I know a lot of people like this quality of the MMORPG, but I don't. I want a resolution that an MMORPG will never give me.
As for the customer service, the one review that was given saying there was no customer service is wrong. It is excellent. I only wish more companies had customer service where someone continuously read customers threads on the internet to take suggestions and to address concerns.
If you like MMORPGs, then you'll love EverQuest.
Customer Review: For those that have too much time on thier hands.
Summary: 2 Stars
Everquest provided me with enjoyment throughout the lower levels of my character's life, but as time went on, reality set in. Basically it becomes a quest for money and equipment. You will sit in one spot killing the same monster over and over again for hours in hopes of gaining a bit of experiance points. Should you die, you lose experiance and all those hours of "camping" were for nothing. At higher levels it is impossible to play the game solo and gain anything from it. You will be required to make friends with people and hope they "allow" you to join a party in order to gain experiance and loot. As for graphics and the interface, I would have to say that they are fine. If you have alot of time on your hands, play EverQuest.. otherwise, look to the "other" online RPG.Customer Review: Customer Support - GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
I read another review on here saying how bad the customer support was. Incorrect. The Customer Support in this game is astounding. They have a Game Master / Guide staff in-game 24/7, helping you with disturbances from other players, and more. PLUS, you can talk directly with Brad McQuaid, producer. He responds to personal e-mails very quickly. And, the EQ Staff is always trying to improve the game. All other aspects are great. Gameplay, Quests, Interaction, Graphics, sound is iffy, but still good. EQ is a great game for anyone, RPG fan or not.
