I walked into the store today and bought a copy of Everquest Titanium Edition (EQ + 10 expansions) for a mere $19.88 Why may you ask?
If you've been following some gaming news there's a little buzz about a "progression" server EQ 1 is starting at the end of the month. It starts with just old world EQ unlocked, and players have to unlock future expansions by beating content.
I started playing EQ shortly after release, left because it was too hard, and came back 6 months later, and fell head over heals in love with it. I played for many years devoting nearly 300 days /played on my man character, joining the uber guild on my server, and finally retiring shortly after my guild downed Quarm and beat the expansion.
EQ was a mixed bag for me, good and bad, On the bad side, it pretty much took over my life, I played all the time. On the good side I met the woman who would eventually become my life.
As of late I can't help but compare every game (MMO) I play to the feelings I got when I played EQ... but nothing ever lives up to it, so I bought this, to start fresh on this progression server and see if I can recapture the magic. Part of me knows that it's JUST NOSTALGIA, but another part of me wonders if I could really get sucked into it the way I once did.
Anyway I'm writing this because I'm wondering if any of my fellow OC'ers are doing the same, planning on doing the same, or think I'm a complete lunatic.
