“It's an ok game... unless you played the original Everquest and want some nostalgia. THEN ITS FREAKING AWESOME”
“I played Vanguard soh around twenty years ago and that was possibly the best game i have ever played. This game has the same vibe.”
“I've been grinding pixels since the launch of EverQuest in 1999. Through the corpse-run hell of Kunark, the glory days of early WoW, the PvP peaks of DAoC, and every bloated themepark since. MMOs today? Hand-holding…”

“If you liked EverQuest, you'll probably like this. Classes are a lot of fun, interesting group dynamics. The community is friendly and the servers are filled with friendly players. At the time of this post, the game is…”
“If they consistently update this game, and really hunker down on fleshing out the world and pocketing it with interesting solo content and group content this will be a solid home. I will always say, Breath of the Wild…”
“It's fun and challenging. I like where the game is going.”

“I’ve seen a lot of people compare Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen to games like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV, and honestly, I think that’s the biggest mistake someone can make going into this game. Pantheon is…”

“Sick game. Love the graphics, classes, grouping mechanic, and sense of adventure. Man, when this looming server wipe finally happens, me and my friend group are going to jump right back in and let Pantheon take over our…”
“A wonderful take on EQ descended play. The team had been led by legendary EQ founder, and now continues after his passing. Great Graphics and feedback on actions. Good combat animations and intuitive controls. Give it a…”
“I'm in love with this game. The graphics are spectacular, its only early access right now, I cant wait to see the finished game.”

“Game hit my MMo itch to a degree I didn't think I would love PVE so much. But feeling powerful when new skill is given to the terrifying feeling when another mob pops into the fight or my healer saying out of mana makes…”
“EA is fairly refined UX. needs a lot more content and itemisation. game gets more fun as you get more levels. just gets harder to find any variety in activity. at 50 (current max level) you basically have 3 places to go…”
“The world is immersive and soothing, it has a breath of the wild type feel. Although the game has a long way to go for development, its really cool to see an Everquest Successor making great progress. I like how…”

“This game coming out this early in EA and not even having the very first zone you log into serviceable is wild. BUT THEY SURE DO HAVE MOUNTS but mind the giant castle you cant access..... The player base that bought EA…”
“My wife and I play this together. While you can solo to some extent, it is a lot more fun with friends. The crafting is nice as far as food/drink, bags and boxes for the bank slots. There are still a lot of things that…”
“No map. Lost my corpse. Don't really care to look for it again.”

“They somehow took a decade of development and millions in funding to make a clunkier and overall worse Everquest 1. Just play Project 1999 until Monsters & Memories comes out, this is DOA”

“Boy was I let down... this feels like a mobile game vibe coded by boomers. The website is well developed, trailers are polished. Buy the game, load it up, all servers are nearly dead. You get to the character creation…”
“100% not worth 50$, looks super dated, combat is clunky and slow, UI is horrible, Questing is boring and even annoying.”
“Not having a map is more punishing that the xp loss or ITEMS DROP in death . Not having the map then makes the finding of the corpse Extrreemly hard . i love the vibe of the game but not a reason to be so hard .... you…”

“Cannot recommend this game. You cannot play this game solo and achieve really anything at all, it forces you to play with a group but the game is dead. Was actually a fun game for a while but if you need to find a group…”

“Just bought the game last night to find out a full wipe is coming in a couple weeks. Been craving this style of MMO for awhile. 21 minutes of EQ type nostalgia was worth it. Will be back after the wipe to sit in groups for 17 hour sessions while slaying dry bone skellies on the…”

Spring update should be a huge jump on point for new and returning players. I played EQ from…”
