Everquest + 15 expansion packs + 30 day free trial steam deal.

I have never played this game before but I just see on steam that you get the game and expansion packs for £1.99. Is it worth me getting it?

Also you get a special item called "Shroud of steam" whatever that is...

For 2 bucks it's not a bad deal at all.

...and also your soul.SpaceMoose

LMAO! So True! :D

Oh man, EverQuest was my true path into PC gaming... I'm not sure how it'll affect people that have been gaming for some time, especially with how old the game is, but it was certainly a decent game back when I played it. $2.50 is definitely worth giving it a try, I'd say.

Just bought it. Been wanting to try it, I guess now is the right time.

dont do it man. if you want an mmo fix just get a trial of something, after a few days of grinding away endlessly for no particular reason you'll get bored. plus think of all the hours you'll miss of gamespot forum action, we miss you already!

I played EQ for like 4 years originally when it was in its prime. Eventually moved on to other games. I tried going back to it once but even though I had a 60th character at the time everyone was at max level with raid gear and doing raid content. I was like the albatross lurking around with nothing to do and nobody to group with.

I think starting from level 1 would probably not be fun. There won't be any other newbs to group with and most of the original game world isn't used at all.

dam, i was high when i bought this and didnt notice it was everquest 1 and not the second..

15 expansions? And people call Blizzard greedy!Renevent42

15 exapnsions over 11 years, and giving every single one away when you buy the newest is being greedy? im sorry but not giving you previous expansions and keeping your prices high is being greedy.

And yet i could easily get 3 EQ expansions for less than one wow expansion in the same time frame.

There is a good core of devoted players, however they are all high levels, meaning if you want to level up from scratch you find some dedicated friends, find someone to powerlevel you, or solo till 50+. Fun?

Bad timing, just bought new eq2 with all expansions. And finding zones bland and quests disorganized. Shame combat and mobs aren't bad.

Classic. :) That's funny.

I used to play EQ1 in 2002, 2003. It was pretty fun back then, but like others have said, there are better MMOs available now. The initial bargain of the game plus the expansions is a good deal, but if you're going to pay a montly fee, I think you'll be better off playing a newer game.
