Just felt like talking about why EQ classic was the best game ever and wondered if anyone else felt the same way.

I'm right there with you. The lack of in-game assists, the lack of single-player driven solo progression, the difficulty, the risk of soloing, the risk of diving deep into dungeons, etc all forced players to work together and get to know each other.

It's part of why I make all my custom content brutally hard with big rewards. I love the challenge and I love forcing my players to work together. No game has ever delivered that same feeling that I got from classic EQ.

Oh I've been using EQ Emu for a long time, just never really posted anything. But thank you for the welcome Adrian.

I keep hoping one day someone will make a mmo like classic EQ, the same type of hardcore style game play. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to remake EQ classic. Same classes, races, spells, game mechanics and so on but instead with newer textures, animation and game models to like bring in the newer people.

I could convince anyone to play EQ classic, just by telling them stories of game play but when they see the graphics they run for the hills. x.x

If I knew how to program I would tackle a project like this but sadly my skill set is more in the artistic side of game creation, not the backbone(programming). Has anyone here heard of any projects like this? Everquest Reloaded! or something rather hehe.

I actually prefer the older graphics. Older models, older pets, older skeletons, older zones, etc because that's how I remember the game at its peak. All the newer stuff detracts from that for me. Plus I feel the newer models were a step backwards in terms of animation quality and gameplay.

One look at the velious armors tells you the game had potential for armor texturing.
