Welcome on my weblog dedicated to very popular MMORPG Games. Today I would like to talk about EverQuest 1 & 2. First part was released on 16 March 1999. The original design of first EverQuest is credited to few guys: Brad McQuaid, Steve Clover, and Bill Trost. Game was developed by Sony’s 989 Studios and its early-1999 spin-off Verant Interactive. It was published by Sony Online Entertainment. Since its acquisition of Verant in late 1999, Sony develops, runs and distributes EverQuest.
Well, I discovered this great MMORPG games in 2005, when my friend show me raid. Online raid in EverQuest was my first experience in online gaming, so I will always keep that in my heart :-)

(First EQ trailer)

Well, first part of EverQuest has earned a lot of awards, including 1999 GameSpot Game of the Year.
Second part was released in late 2004. Is set in universe similar to that of the original EverQuest, this “sequel” takes place 500 years after the awakening of great mob Kerafyrm, The Sleeper. Both games are probably most significant MMORPG Games in genre.
