I'm embarrassed that I'm 40 hours early to this video
That's a good Shamalayn twist :)
Anytime I hear you talk about EQ I wish we were best friends lol. I've never had someone in real life connect with or understand it on the same level as I do.
What do you mean by understand it like you do?
@@IonBlaze1 That it's something much grander there, far beyond the sum of its parts. The foundation they created allows a community to build and flourish. Friends have never been able to see past the minimal UI, jagged graphics, low res textures and harsh nature by design.
They never allow themselves the chance to experience the history and lore of one of my favorite worlds because it isn't spoonfed to them.
Cainiac. From someone else in the same boat, I feel you. I am the only one in my friends group who sees the main reasons eq is so great.
@@Razman.99 Yeah, I'm thankful to have been a part of it experiencing it from the beginning. No one I've introduced EQ to and hasn't originally played during the early years of its life just can't get past everything that I consider it's charm and selling points.
I hear you. One of my RL friends and I started playing in 1999 until 2015. We both decided to start playing again about 3 weeks ago.
Something I love about EQ is the music. Most modern MMOs do not have the serenely catchy music as EQ. Ak'Anon, Kelethin, Felwithe, Neriak, Bridge of Karana. The one exception is the battle theme. It gets old faaaaassst.
Yeah the music is great. I even throw in some Eq2 from time to time.
Battle music always off, but the old style ambient music is so nice. Especially if you replaced standard .sf2 file with a better one. Beside that the general slower pace and downtime between puls to socialice with people is what made EQ uniqe. You hardly ever talk with others in modern mmo’s. And frankly, I prefere the old style text chatting over any modern voice chat. Every one that can read and write english is able to use text chat, but voice chat is a huge problem when english is not your native language. Not very many is easy to understand in spoken language over an often half bad quality headset.
I really love these longer format videos, and your thought process when you're playing. Excited for the next one!
Thank you kiyo
What an absolute pleasure it is to watch your EQ uploads, thank you!
Thank you Zool :)
Such great work! Your commentary really brings this to life! Reminds me of Flats and watching an epic journey again.
Cant wait for more, your content is a love story to my highschool and early college years.
Thank you for the kind words Leeroy
You were fighting the puma... I was thinking watch out for mummy! EXACT same thing happened to me on live back close to when EQ launched. Ultima online and EQ were absolute real life magic for me back in the day. Suprising how much one remembers. Great video sir
Awesome awesome video. Well said, I was just explaining this concept to my little brother the other day 👏 👍 EQ was the major forerunner for MMOs as we know them, genre defining really.
Thank you for watching Ehlias. Yup that's the problem I want to tackle :)
Awesome narrative story. It’s like we are there experiencing it with you.
Thank you for the compliment Random :)
Reminder Set!
Loved this video, great job as usual.
Thank you for the compliment :)
Very entertaining video! Looks like a lot of fun to play with a friend. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to convince anyone to try with me
Amazing Video! Always appreciate all your EQ Videos!!
Thank you for the support Jordon
please keep this series going!
Love the editing so far on this one!! Soo excited to play my first classic TLP with a bunch of other people!
Oh it'll be a blast. Thank you for the compliment Razman
Thank you so much for making these videos.
Appreciate the compliment Keith :)
Well said! I always say it's the best and the worst of MMO's rolled into one. Which is why I love it!
I've never played Everquest and don't plan on playing it in the future. I still watch your videos because they're interesting and I like your presentation style.
Super pumped you put out a new video
Thank you for coming by :)
No lie. When i heard the opening EQ music it brought some tears to my eyes, not just the game, but the friends i made playing and the all the late nights me and my little brother would stay up playing on 2 computers in same room just having the best time ever. Also the times we would have nights where our 2 best friends would bring their computers over for the weekend for the first crushbone raid on our server! 20+ years later we still talk about those days on the phone.... miss those days so much
I feel you man. My friend's dad was a programmer, and he had 3 sons. They all had their own computers, and we all played EQ together. The 5 of us had so many fun adventures, it provided my childhood with some incredibly fun and happy memories. As you get older and the world becomes a little darker, and you become more jaded, you look back to those days wishing you could experience them again for the first time. Nostalgia is a powerful drug to chase, but never seems to get the feel quite right.
I'm happy to see you making more videos about EQ. I just started again after a couple year break from TLPs
Thank you for the support :)
The way you tell your stories in your videos is what got me into EverQuest initially. Back, I think pcgamer magazine did a story on EverQuest when it launched and they wrote the story in the same way as how you tell your stories in your videos. I went right out and bought the game. And the game has always felt to me like how they wrote the preview, and got you describe things in your videos
That video was fun, what an eggs-perience. ;)
I 've tried EQ1 somewhere last year but was a bit overwhelmed about all the UI elements.
Yeah it is a daunting game to get into. They might be updating the ui next year on live servers.
Dude your freaking awesome love the content can’t wait for part 2
It's going rough lol. Thank you for watching
medicine bags are the way to go early on. 0.4 weight 8 slots. great vid! might see you around on green
Love the p99 stuff! Keep it up !
Will do. Thank you Mr Miah for watching
Fantastic video -- love watching these level up jouneys through the harsh and rewarding original EQ. What other game has that magic where meeting an ogre named Snotwad is one of the hilarious highlights of your night?
Thank you. Yeah that dude was a Character!
Absolutely loved this video!
Yes! Player interaction is a dying feature in modern games. I went back to try WOW again a couple years ago and barely ever talked to anyone. Even dungeon groups didn't speak unless it was to berate you for not already knowing the most optimal way to finish the zone.
On P99 Green, I visited Splitpaw for the first time ever (never did it back in the day) and had a group that kindly helped me navigate the zone and gain lots of xp. And the number of random buffs, twinking, and conversations I've had are off the charts in comparison to other games. And of course, there's always the roleplaying Ogres.
Thank you for watching Gardyloo. You are a tasty snack for ogres. Must constantly be on the run haha
@@IonBlaze1 Nah, just hide in the shadow of their giant belly. They'll never see you.
That's a good trick :)
Great vid! I played EQ for about 15 years and raided for 12 of those years, once they brought mercs out and since i 2 boxed a lot and was raid geared, i was able to solo most things in the end. However, you are very right that the kind of groups you get to experience in EQ just don't exist anywhere else. There is literally nothing like EQ.
It's sad but at least we still have the game. Thank you for watching Jen
Your analysis couldn't be more spot on. When you get it... the message resonates. You sir, get it.
Thank you for the compliment Matthew :)
Great video. Totaly agree, underrated by most players. Been a EQ adict for 10+ years, playing day and night, no social real life, my main charater at 2000+days playtime. (real days online, had dedicated seller Bazar char)
One of few games were your reputaion means everything, as you say if play good, more people want to make groups with you, if you sux's or act like an asshole..you will get fewer group invites and be added into more players blacklists, until you wont ever find groups to join. Swap server or quit is your options.
You did not log in to play a game, you logged in to play with your friends. The social thing is everything with EQ.
Help out other with their quests or stuff they need, build up "favors", spend 10h+ here for your quest, that player will help you when you ask him/her to help you with your 10h+ gridning for your quest.
Many things is bad in EQ, endless hours os gridning same mobs, but it felt rewarding anyway. You were not showerd in loot or rewards, so when finnaly get something it means much more.
That is for myself one of biggest "problem" with newer games, you get so much items and you wear your armor for..at best few hours until you have found something new better, nothing feels special.
That made EQ unqie, so hardcore..but also its downside. Spend days and weeks without getting anything, often lose platimum, just to be able to grind a day, pay some Wiz for teleport, pay for buffs not in group ect.
So need to spend hours to farm money as you cant rely on getting any from a day grinding in a group.
so yes I assume that sums up why most younger players never got into EQ, no make me max level with best gear in game in few hours/days..so actually had to play the game..for years/months to reach max level.
EQ = anti instant gratification generation
Thank you for sharing your experience playing the game. That's a lot of time you've had with it. Just not the same anymore.
This whole video is almost the exact conversation I had with my 14 year old daughter about why EQ was so awesome. It forced interaction and when you got a good group you didn't want to log off and end the XP gravy train. I think it took me 2 years back in the Kunark/Luclin days to get to lvl 60 as Enchanter. One of my fondest memories was going with my guild to a higher lvl zone maybe the Hole. We had 2 groups there and I was maybe lvl 47 at the time most of the rest of the folks were high 50's. Bad pull and it went bad fast. All of the casters but me and RL friend who was necro gated out. I kept the the mobs mezzed and necro fed me mana the whole time. We survived and I think only 2 died including the puller. Then we had to wait for all the rest of the casters (10 lvls higher than me) to come back with their tails between their legs. I might have a few details wrong but it was 20 years ago and I still remember the glorious feeling of saving the day.
That's a great story. Thank you for sharing that Michael
One thing you can't find in MMO's aside from EQ1...Bards, well done bards at least. I have to be honest I am really loving your lore stories on your videos. I am not a lore guy but I love someone telling a good story! Keep up the great work!! My buddies are talking about Hardcore wow non stop, I keep telling them EQ did hardcore one life events a decade+ ago and EQ was already super punishing for failure (deaths) so wow hardcore is meh. Eq is the grandad of all mmo's and I remind people of that constantly.
This was great, a real trip through memory lane!
Thank you for watching Jon
great vid... i love the vibe of this game although i havent played past lvl 3 when my buddy decided he didnt like the learning curve and stopped.
I getcha there. I wanted to quit so bad after a few deaths. Thank you for the compliment Alistair
As a bard who logged in hundreds upon hundreds of hours back in the 20th century, I enjoyed this video so very much!
Thank you Mercy :)
Looooved the video!!! Talk about when you use weapons over instruments and the other way around please I can't wait for the next video!!
Thank you for the support :)
you are so fun to watch and listen to and ive never really been a huge fan of bards lol
Thank you for the compliment Zilathorne
This is a good video, says a lot of what i have been thinking
Thank you for the kind words Quinlamin :)
At 21:49
Corpse runs, neeked style....
I used to keep a second set of armor in the bank, run by the nearest bank and pick up your spare set!!
I also tried to keep my hand to hand combat up, this allowed me to get a weapon off a low-level mob if I couldn't go by a bank....
There it is! Socialization is why I and so many others want to play an MMO and until Pantheon, our options are extremely low for a real social experience in a virtual world. Great video!
Thank you for coming by Nathan. Love the Friday streams! "God is good & every day brings us closer to Pantheon."
Its hard as hell but it makes accomplishments sooo much more rewarding.
My God that Everquest loading music is such a serotonin hit to the brain. I bet you can't guess what played in Everquest and why I'm loving this video so far :-D
Nice video man.
Nice plant video
Thank you
The moments grouping early levels are all of my favorite moments. The bad pulls that we squeezed out of a non wipe was wonderfulRaiding later and topping dps as a ranger over classes I had no business beating felt great. I miss the old game.
Hey amigo, You're welcome for the "Excalibur" =]
I've been playing Eq for like the passed few days and have had more fun in it than any other MMO I have played.
The lows are very low and the highs are very high…. Best part of p1999, those highs! Love this game, thanks for the vids!
Thank you mtsuthers. Yeah definitely a bipolar game
havent played EQ in years, but i thoroughly enjoyed watching this
Thank you for the support realist chill :)
Labor of love.
Thank you for all the kind words. Appreciate your support Elevator Music Irelia :)
@@IonBlaze1 Great content thanks for sharing with us all.
@@elevatormusicirelia9043 thank you :)
I'd say the most important thing that stands out with eq is the fact accomplishments are actually rewarding because the game is tough. There are no cash shops. Visual equipment holds high value. At least up till velious have no idea after that.
In case your Interested @Ion Blaze I'd love to get your opinion on the classic server I run =). It's great watching your videos, reminds me of why I started playing EQ 20 years ago with my family. BTW one of the best sounds in the game at 29:02, reminds me of camping the orc camps for hours on end.
cant wait to see you on Yelinak ^_^
Yeah it'll be a great time. Thank you for the support Nallchan
More Snotwad! He's the star of the show! Great video as usual. See you in game.
Oh yeah he was great! Thank you for coming by Perry :)
That's one thing being a bard really saved you from that I hated a lot in the actual time when we played like that. Cost of a spell reagent could be the deciding factor on whether you actually use it or just eat the xp loss. Especially symbols. For a long while those kind of buffs were main tank of a difficult group or raid restricted because of how out of control reagents could become. If you fizzled, reagent wasted.
Great video. I am heading back to the world of Norrath this Month and the new TLP seems like a fun wayt to get back into it. Any fellow Europeans heading there?
Yeah there might be a euro guild. I'd check the EQ forums in the guild recruitment area
What made this video fun, I forgot about shrink in places like Seb.
Later zones had more room to move, but Seb rooms were so small. So we had to become small. Actually, how stupid (and smart) was it that Trakanon had a perch that couldn't even support the entire raid unless they were shrunk?
Question, Locket of escape brought back with P99 or did they keep it out? Being bound to PoM as a melee class was the bee's knees.
Side note, for the short time I played P99 it was nice to see Europa exists. Or odd. Thundercats meow! Wonder if Udna is still around.
You've done it Again Mr. Blaze! another good video explaining why EQ was so much fun, and felt so immersive. I might have convinced some of my friends to play the new TLP ! and I referred them to some of your videos to help. Yes, I'd love a new MMO, but... I'd really love to See the EVERQUEST world remade with the Newworld Engine, with some of the quality of life tweaks from the recent TLPs. (cuase bard without melody sucks). I'll never have that same nostalgic feeling that i get from EQ though, im sure... but hey, us Gamers can always hope! . by the way, is P99 green going to be your main choice from now on? hoping to see you and some others on Yelinak TLP :D
Thank you for the nice words Sgt Kheldare! I was thinking today about what you said. What if Amazon bought the EverQuest IP?
Excellent vid.
Thank you for watching Richard

Great video Thanks 8)
Thank you for the compliment :)
This is HONESTLY one of the things I have always adored about Everquest and old MMORPGs in general. I love that I am forced to team up with other people, and I have had so much fun doing simple things, like grinding XP with a group of strangers killing bandits.
Look forward to more content like this
Thank you for the support Ryan
always loved your stuff... have you ever considered starting a static group or guild? seems like you could get a bunch of people together for either p99 or TLP ... I think it would be awesome to start fresh on p99 with a group of like minded people ... I wouldn't mind grinding out some levels and connecting with people, that is the true purpose of everquest!!!
Thank you for watching Demris. Yeah I'm going to be in a static group on Yeli. P99 green is free-form. Was also looking at doing some alts on Yeli with hammackj but we'll see.
Spittin' straight FACTS! 💯*(EQ veteran 2001-present) Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🤙🤙
Thank you. How is your ping? Gotta be bad out there.
@@IonBlaze1 believe it or not, its better than the mainland! hahah 🤙🤙
i remember back in OG EQ days, there was a consequence for dying at all levels.
I remember about 10 years ago an alt Shaman (my 1st favorite class at the time) was puttering around (level 50) and saw someone looking to tank in Karnors. They said they already had a shaman, and I said "trust me." So I went in. Pulled with slow, root parked adds and tanked, debuffed mobs, kept the healers safe and had a blast using all the little tips and tricks I learned over the years. Then the shaman in the group began to understand that Shamans, when played with cunning and making full use of the class tools given, was a far more nuanced class than they thought. Pretty sure that Shammy learned some new tricks. Pro tip: when faced with multiple mobs TAKE OUT THE SHAMAN MOB FIRST! (was charmed in Fire on a POP raid, and I wiped the raid).
Are you going to continue the journey of this character in other vídeos? Would to see more about it, the follow up. Lower levels are the most rewarding in my opinion.
I know its an older video, but I just ran across them, and started watching them. I did end game raiding at the time, had my warrior epic. But my best story was when I looked over the edge of "The Hole" Yea I fell in and it took me nearly a week to get my corpse, a very good DK ran across the hole dragging my body, he even died a bunch of times doing it... We became friends for a long time, and I still have a list of friends I have from EQ. We raided from the start doing the two dragons, and ended in planes of power! It was all a great experience, I really wish they updated the graphics and some other things.
Agreed. The necessity of grouping is one of the best things about EQ.
Thank you for watching Lawrence :)
@@IonBlaze1 Thanks for making the videos you do. It's a pleasure to watch.
yet everyone is mutli-boxing and solo.
My top 50 funnest gaming sessions would be all Everquest groups and raids with a few EVE onlines fights sprinkled in.
EQ was the ultimate risk vs reward game. You could raid nagafen and get the best loot in the game at the time, or you could wipe and experience a 3 hour corpse recovery.
I agree playing P99 blue now for 9 years now I find player interaction is one of my favorite parts of the game. That said you aren't reliant on a group for certain classes like Bard, Enchanter, Necromancer, Shaman depending on the zone you are fighting in. That said Enchanters can solo most content outside of raiding content.
Oh it's you Cipher! Nice to see you again. Thank you for watching.
Good vid!
Thank you
See ya on Yelli..... Maybe on P99Green.... I've got a level 10 or 12 cleric I should dust off!
Yeah it'll be a fun time. Thank you for coming by Mark
I have friendships for 16+ years from EverQuest, friends have come and gone, some remain, I have never had such memories from any game like EQ has given me, been playing from day one and though much has changed I will remain until the final day. :)
Was always known as a great Warrior. I went through quite a few guilds to find that one were I felt those players were as good as or better than me and had a strong desire to be always in the top 5 in beating current content. However the saddest thing that ever happened to me, was when I was switching guilds, and shortly after, a few of my old guildmates applied and were accepted to the guild I moved to. After about a year, I had a falling out over raid times and left that guild, and one of those players I was guilded with prior sent me a tell of a frown, then said, the only reason he left the other guild to join this one, was to be in the same guild as me. It honestly brought me to tears, not because I felt proud, but because what I did had such a negative impact on him, and others. That was about 18 years, ago, and to this day when I think of it, I still get emotional.
First Rule: Never be ashamed or embarrassed about what you are passionate about.
Second Rule: if people have a problem and or are generally upset about anything you are doing as long as it is not harming them or anyone else F them.
Third Rule: there will always be people that do not like you for unknown reasons, F them and way your freak flag.
GL and I hope you make 1230 more videos about EQ if that is what you love to do and that is what makes you happy.
Thank you for the kind words Tim. Appreciate the support
Then again, an old school swarm kiting bard (Walrus Skin drum FTW) is cackling with glee, fingertip hovering over the click invis item. :)
It's an exciting technique. Only time I've ever sweated playing this game
From my bags I like to go with spirit pouches you can usually find them from alchemist merchants there are eight slot bags and only weigh one
You forgot it’s the only mmo that allows multi boxing efficiently.. 3-6 boxing was so much fun. Not technically soloing but tank, mezzer, healer were the best combo. Wish you guys would show the new graphics that are awesome vs the old crap ones.
I love this game I technically first played asherons call another amazing buried game...I didn't even know it was a MMO or what a MMO was when I got it lol it blew my mind seeing other people....lol anywhoo I switched to EQ and I still play MMO's now at 42 years old but I must admit I'm a console pleb so I don't have many options so I run ESO but these EQ vids always punch me with good feels...
I’d love to play some Yelinak with you IonBlaze! Mischief was fun but I stopped having fun after PoP.
Yup gonna be there. It'll be nice to play with all ya'll
@@IonBlaze1 Know what you're rolling yet?
Seeya you both on yelinak ☺
@@darczee1 are you still going to be Zool?
@@CAiNiAC bard :)
LOL counterpoint - I have played om P99 since its inception. I solo now 99% of the time with mostly Monks, Rogues and Warriors. I am able to twink my newbies and have a set path to grind exp and plat. The only class I don't like is Bard. :)
100%. This is why EQ was/is the best MMO ever. Checkout Rolath on the eqemu login server sometime. Custom server that is classic content + a few mods.
Ok thank you for the watching Paul :)
Very nice 👍
For me my best days of EverQuest came from the mangler server… it was the first server I leveled my Druid from 1 to 60. I got my first epic weapon. I experienced my first raids in plains of power. It will be an experience I will never forget. It was all of the other players that made it so magical for me. You just can’t get that in games anymore.
heard you could solo with mercs now. I played for about a month last yr. Didn't get far out of the tutorial area. Mostly tried out different classes etc. I played back in 2000 and yea, had to group as a rogue a lot mid-to high lvl.Backstab hard to pull off alone. Oh, my youtube and twitch name Stabbath, came from my eq rogue character's last name :)
Oh I wish you best on your channel. Yeah mercs change the game
As a player of RuneScape trying to get into project 1999 is trying to learn ancient egyptian
Josh Strife Hayes covered EQ in his MMO history documentary's part 5. You can imagine how much it covers in the first 4 parts before reaching EQ. I'd be surprised if he & asmongold don't know that WoW started out as a casual-friendly more-polished version of EQ.
I'm somewhat interested in EQ due to how it requires player interaction, but it's hard to get into and I don't need games to be pretty. I tried looking for videos of the kind of interactions videos like yours mention, like getting a buff and tipping the other person, explaining how some fight works with all the needed roles and seeing how people interact while waiting for their HP/mana to replenish. Maybe that'll motivate me to keep trying to get into it. So far I played maybe 2 hours of the live version and half an hour of P99.
P.S. altho MMOs usually support and have solo content to a much greater extent than EQ, you can't solo a dungeon/raid for your level in them, so you can't "play the entire game solo".
Thank you for coming by & the thoughtful comment. Your first paragraph is exactly why I'm trying to make these videos. I felt JSHayes glossed over the game. But he's more into runescape. Asmon doesn't like it at all.
It is hard to get into. The ui & mechanics are not forgiving or clear. It makes you wait forever to get somewhere. I'm really excited for Yelinak on 5/25. It'll probably have the biggest population of any server & be a more easy way to play over P99.
@@IonBlaze1 Some of the unforgiving parts of EQ don't sound fun or necessary to me. But anyway, I might actually sub to join for Yelinak. I made my comment before watching most of the video, and then I saw you covered some of my points to an extent, for example why pullers are even needed.
I don't mind runescape's graphics. Asmon's a bit more of a 'graphics w#0r3' than me.
hello from bard on blue =)
New TLPs with broken new spell resist system means enchanter can play by themselves to max level even faster
Yeah it's a lot easier :)
Tryin to enjoy p99 green, but is there a way to add maps seriously
I got my Shadow Knight to 120 while being in literally less than 10 experience groups in less than 6 months. Sure it was fun, but the 20 years it took to get my Bard to 120 is unforgettable.
Sounds like that one credit card commercial. "Priceless"
Yeah, by the end I was playing EQ 5 boxing. There were some really intense times in a group that I recall. Like the quad exp weekend where myself and a SK kept a group going in PoF, made more than 500 AA in 2 and a half days(Had 1500 AA going into that weekend and that put me in 5th place on the server for AA - by the end of that weekend I was second behind a 6 box warrior - forget his name).
Still weird to hear people say they go to level 120. But can understand the issue, why I was multi boxing EQ at the end.
and its also the reason that its not the standard, or the most popular. And as someone who has played Wow for the last 14 years, you can do all those things there as well. i have friends ive had for more than a decade.
You play bard. Oh god I'm so sorry about your carpal tunnel.
Not that bad with an MMO mouse :)
EQ is the social MMO. everything else after is just sigh. the only other MMO i had a great social experience with was ff11. the character that you made on EQ felt unique as in you made a name for yourself. alot of people complain about the combat uh duh of course its not anything near what todays MMOs have and honestly thats what made it great. it wasnt about toping DPS meters it was about meeting people getting together and playing which what a MMO is in the first place. taking time to wonder around and look at all the old zones and just the rush of all the old memories is a simply amazing feeling even after all these years (LOIO for life!) EQ has a place in my heart that no other MMO will ever come close to. even after making new characters you always find and make new friends to level and bullshit with. They could make the same servers over and over again and id still have a great time with EQ. Sucks they nerfed bard swarm kiting on p99 im pretty sure they capped the mobs to 25? I remember doing 38-46 in OT in some stupid time like 5 hours lol. Another thing that is so crazy on Xegony the auction zone was Gfay while like on Solusek Ro/Ayonnae it was the tunnels
Thank you for sharing all that Papasears. Different take on the combat system. The slower pace encouraged people to talk.
I dare say if you've never played Everquest you cannot call yourself a "gamer"
Actually when I played in 1999-2002, I always said EQ would’ve been great if there was a solo offline option.
