Heh, try not paying your account fees for three months. You will get your characters deleted. On the surface this sounds like a great way to get a point across, but there are too many ways to pay, and it would be dificult to coordinate. I pay every six months, while others pay every three or mon |

You know, I've heard all of this before, back about five years ago when Simutronics took Gemstone and DragonRealms (and their smaller games,) and made them web-based so anyone could log in and play, not just people who were on a specific ISP. "I won't pay them, I already pay for my service t |

I think that, when it all comes down to it, this will not be the beginning of the end for EQ as some have predicted here. I think there are far too many of us that are addicted to the game for the social aspect of it more than the hack, slash, cast, etc. of it. This game is primarily a social game |

I mean come on... This is stupid... The only ones who are gonna pay this are the snot-nosed little kids who bought their level 60 character off of ebay and now want daddy to pay for this so that they can have more to sit and whine about. Maybe take it down to like $15-$20 and it might be worth it. A |

EQ may take in a lot of money every month, but they also spend it as fast as it comes in to maintain this virtual world they provide us, so we can pass our time.

I do believe most of those text based games you mentioned were originaly free... therefore if you have to pay $10 a month now for them I guess the price did go up. |

Personally, I hink the legend servers is a great idea. this offers the chance to play everquest in a better view, as it should be played. although, charging 40 bucks a month is a slap in the face. I am not going to play 40 bucks a month to play everquest how it SHOULD be played.

IMO this is just another way for V.I. to get more money and screw over the people who dont have the 40 bucks a month to pay for this. I think that these services should be available for regular E.Q. players. Sure these are great changes to the game, but i personally dont have 40 bucks a month to pay |

I love E.Q., as does most people that decide to play it, but I am in no sense an addict. I play maybe 10 - 15 hours a week, so for me 10 bucks is a pretty cheap for ~50 hours or so a month worth of entertainment. A movie ticket is almost 10 bucks, and that entertainment lasts 3 hours at most. But 10 |

The only thing that appeals to me about the legends server is more dynamic quests. I have no idea why there aren't more on normal servers. Not enough guides? If they made dynamic quests a priority, I know a lot of people who would love to dedicate some time each week to running dynamic quests, et |

To find out your "loc" type /loc ... short for /location . You'll get 3 numbers. the first one is your coordinates running north/south. The second is your coordinate running east/west. The 3rd number is your altitude, which is usually ignored by people. Hope that helps =) |

Yes, the games were "free" to play. These were the days of hourly connection rates, though. You could play the game for free, but would pay from $1.50 to $8.00 and hour to connect to the Internet and link to the game through your ISP. Companies like Simutronics made their income off f |
