The Project 1999 EverQuest servers are popular emulated servers that are a heavily modified version of EverQuest in the state it existed in the year it launched and the two subsequent expansions. Due to being customised heavily by its owners, many changes have been made that make the servers nothing like the live experience of its time. These include First to Engage messages, Rooted dragons, so called bag limits (top guild can only kill certain mobs so many times or be raid banned) and other changes that were unheard of in the expansions time frame, and have been attributed to driving players away, as the 'Baby sitting mode servers' are not considered a true EverQuest experience. |

Every link to mysupersales should be flushed ASAP. That is a cheat site where one buys money and players in violation of the EULA. Account that have been bought are routinly cancelled. I notice may one shot wonders add the offending link. [[User:Dominick|Dominick]] 01:50, 17 Jan 2004 (UTC) |

This article is in the following categories: [[:Category:EverQuest games and expansions]] and [[:Category:Massively multiplayer online role-playing games]]. Isn't the latter redundant? |
|||
[[EverQuest]] is in [[:Category:EverQuest games and expansions]], which is in [[:Category:EverQuest]], which is in ... [[:Category:Massively multiplayer online role-playing games]]. I guess it COULD be in both, to simplify things, but I wanted to float a balloon on this. --[[User:Golbez|Golbez]] 16:37, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC) |

Guilds have a short life-span? I agree that is true but there have been MANY long loved guilds, to the point where it is quite worthy of attention. Fires of Heaven being the main example (others being Triton, Legacy of Steel, Keepers of the Faith, Township Rebellion ,and mainly Talisman, the best guild in the game), FoH as main example have an extremely popular msgboard that became popular amoung even developers in Everquest....eventually the guild leader Furor was invited by Blizzard to work on World of Warcraft. Stories abound of guilds donating money to keep their guild leaders running the guild and out of fulltime work (Stasis on Prexus as an example). |

Everquest is addicting but is based off of the humans natural curiosity. It is a good game but you cant let it destroy your life. I my self think it is an awesome game and the graphics are incredible. Dont waste your life because everquest isn't the real world it's not your life. |

== Structure of the article == |

section 2 and 3 has information that does not belong to Everquest. I suggest a reqrite and moving he info t0 [[MMORPG]]. [[User:SYSS Mouse|SYSS Mouse]] 03:11, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

I am concerned that the Project 1999 section is an advertisement for a game Very Similar to EQ of 2001. "Relive the Classic Everquest Experience as it was from 1999 to 2001. Project 1999 is a free to play Classic Everquest Server, unaffiliated with Daybreak Game Company but operating under legal permission. Our goal is to restore the magic and difficulty of the original Everquest game, including the mechanics, interface, and challenges of Original Content, Kunark, and Velious. Project 1999 is the most popular and most accurate reincarnation of Old School Everquest." |

Perhaps a mention of there being new games recreating much of the old EQ experience? They can have their own articles if they need this much space? In any event, I propose a SHARP application of the editorial axe.[[User:Shajure|Shajure]] ([[User talk:Shajure|talk]]) 09:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC) |

Non-official servers
[edit]The Project 1999 EverQuest servers are popular emulated servers that are a heavily modified version of EverQuest in the state it existed in the year it launched and the two subsequent expansions. Due to being customised heavily by its owners, many changes have been made that make the servers nothing like the live experience of its time. These include First to Engage messages, Rooted dragons, so called bag limits (top guild can only kill certain mobs so many times or be raid banned) and other changes that were unheard of in the expansions time frame, and have been attributed to driving players away, as the 'Baby sitting mode servers' are not considered a true EverQuest experience.
