Is EverQuest still in development?
EverQuest, the pioneering fantasy MMO, turns 20 years old on March 16. But while most massively multiplayer games have a shelf life, and rarely make it through a decade, EverQuest has endured. The game is still in active development at developer Daybreak’s San Diego headquarters, and more expansions are planned.
What happens when someone dies in EverQuest?
“If they die or quit, someone else will drop in. There’s no connection there. But in EverQuest, if someone dies or bails on your group, you’ll probably never forget about that human being for as long as you play the game. When people help you, you bond with them, and out of that communities are born.
Is there a connection between people in EverQuest and EverQuest 2?
There’s no connection there. But in EverQuest, if someone dies or bails on your group, you’ll probably never forget about that human being for as long as you play the game. When people help you, you bond with them, and out of that communities are born.
Is Daybreak’s EverQuest progression any good?
In 2015, Daybreak launched its popular progression servers, which let you play EverQuest as it used to be—similar to Blizzard’s own World of Warcraft Classic. More of these have been added over the years, and the chance to relive the early days of the MMO has proven surprisingly irresistible for some.
Can you still play old EverQuest games?
Unofficially, players are also able to access old versions of the game through Project 1999, an emulated EverQuest server maintained by the community. “We have more players now than we did in 2015 and our revenue has gone up,” says Longdale. “And that’s thanks to these servers.
Can EverQuest ever truly revisit its glory days?
Yes, EverQuest can never truly revisit its glory days. It’s impossible to recapture that original magic or to repeat it. If you released an MMO without maps or a compass in 2019 it would probably be dismissed before it finished patching. But thanks to 25 expansions and 20 years of survival, its players still have a version of Norrath to call home.
