“Super cool idea that ends up paying off very well. Feels very much like a classic mmo and masters the illusion of being "online." Open "chat" is hilarious. Had a random run in and help take down a boss. Watched a Druid…”
“fantastic game exactly what its described as. stole an enemy guilds timed raid boss kill and had a gm reach out to me for toxic behavior because the other guild reported me 10/10. would love a system as guild leader to…”
“Erenshor captures a specific charm that early MMOs had. It's hard to describe. "A grass spider" in flashy bright text above a cartoonish giant spider that moves and attacks slightly comically too fast is just not…”

“Is it a true MMORPG? No. Does it feel like one? Yes, so much so that I hardly ever play my online games anymore. The sense of discovery, the old and fulfilling grind... all combined with simulated players who might not…”
“if you're weirdly interested in a game that's an "MMORPG" but entirely single player like me, this game scratches that itch. Genuinely a great game so far and is now my go to for "I want to play an MMO but don't want to…”

“This game is dope, and I can't wait for raids! Been having a blast discovering all the recently added new content to the game and still trying to figure out a few of the lesser mentioned quests. The dev(s) is/are super…”
“For us aging MMO fans, fans of EQ and Runescape, all the love none of the player hate, quest, join/create your own guild, quest with SIM players, loot, gear up, learn new spells, and raids are in the works, so if any of…”
“This is a neat game with interesting mechanics. Definitely a nice time sink when feeling that old school mmorpg itch.”

“Old school vibes indeed. It has all the elements of a great classic mmorpg except pvp. Interesting dungeons, world bosses, loot progression, faction reputation etc. Some aspects need to be fleshed out or are missing…”
“After putting a fair share of hours into the game, I can confidently say that I am very much impressed by the endavor of largly a single person behind the project (Reminds me of Kenshi, which is a good note in my book).…”
“The best $20 I've ever spent.”

“It really does scratch the itch and work exactly as advertised. MMO where you can party with bots instead of players. Is a dream come true for many, a private server of your own. Your "friends" are never busy, you dont…”

“I think the game has potential and is a really cool concept but the game just dont feel that good to play right now. I mean the actual encounters, the buttons dont feel good. I dont see a huge number on screen and it is…”
“I really want to like it, but so many things are obtuse just for the sake of "nostalgia" that it's hard to find any fun in it outside of combat.”
“Baffling reviews, perhaps they are all from the bots that play the game. This is not fun, nothing more needs to be said. There is no nostalgia for "bad games". I wish I had played it less so I could have gotten a…”

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED At first it didn't fully click with me. I thought how you interact with NPCs was a bit weird. But the Admin Panel Options and the general oldschool mmo feeling really got me now. In the admin panel…”
“Does exactly what it sets out to do; it scratches that itch. Also, the art style is a satisfying choice, managing to inspire nostalgia while up-to-date with (general) current aesthetic preferences. One suggestion: scale…”

“Incredible. Comes eerily close to perfectly recapturing the feeling of early 2000's mmos like Anarchy and Everquest. Please continue developing more interactions with the SimPlayers, I'm begging you. I'm in love with…”
“pretty good reminds me of eq but i am a map chat spammer so that part I miss. it sends mixed signals to brain, I can partake in the mmo experience but not fulfil my integral role in the mmo ecosystem and experience by…”

“Your group should at least try to revive you mid-combat. If you get downed in an area with a lot of mobs, you just lie there for 10 minutes while they infinitely fight infinitely respawning enemies.”
“Here is my 2 cents! Ive multiboxed EQ2 with 11 accounts and multiboxed Wow with 9 accounts. It has a feel like you are multiboxing while running bot scripts for the other "players". I loved Multiboxing, Nothing better…”
“its fun, its really like playing an early pre alpha wow with bots. there is still a lot of work to be done. i think this game is far from being finished. still a long grind, plenty of quests to do. My friend got the…”

— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“I was complaining to my son that there were no MMO's out that I hadn't either finished the content or was not interested in. I was yammering on and on about how someone needs to make a game like EverQuest 1, but newer. I am waiting on Pantheon to update then I will play that and…”
— a player, Steam review · 172 hrs played“Anyone who lived through the halcyon days of early EverQuest can likely relate to the sentiment: "So lucky to have been there, so cursed to never be able to relive it." That generation of players has largely acquiesced that it's an experience - and a gaming model - that will…”
