Evercrack? Not by a long shot!
The graphics: Not really that good. Everything has a flat feeling when moving around in the Everquest world. The monsters look rather silly, and the PCs and NPCs look like generic cardboard cutouts. You will see many, many, carbon copies of yourself running around.
The gameplay: Click on what you want to attack, hit the A button, listen to generic music while the computer fights for you. You can get frisky and try to do some spellcasting from a distance, but when the monster finds you, pretty much the same as before. I once heard a person who played a Beast Master, that fighting for him was to sick his animal on a creature, and eat pizza while the fight is going on. Not terribly exciting.
The story: There is no story to speak of. Just a bunch of random quests from NPCs, and a lot of people don't even bother with doing those.
The experience: Once in a while, you will get lucky and find a group that is nice and even helpful to kill things with. Most of the time you will get a combination of kill stealers, people accusing you of stealing their camp, and newbies that cause a "train" that will get most people hanging out in front of a zone's entrance killed. Most of these things will happen in the more popular places, but the way Everquest is set up, there are only a few places that give experience and drops that are worthwhile. There are many places that are deserted, as most players don't feel they are worthwhile. Which is a shame really, as most builds are not able to solo, so finding groups in the less popular areas is an excercise in futility.
This game is recommended for people who have a lot of friends playing the game, have no problem with the time it takes to form a group, or want to try it for a while to see why people play it. It does cost money to play, so it is up to you if feel the game is worth the price. I didn't.
