Ah, the memories. With 10 years under its belt, EverQuest has introduced us to strange and wonderful lands. Anyone who has played the game can tell you about some of the many zones they've visited; tramping across the wide expanse of Butcherblock; spending tons of time in Paludal, Lake of Ill Omen, Highkeep, or so many other areas; getting chased out of Oasis by Spectres or Sand Giants (hell, getting chased out of just about any zone with giants in it unless you were adept at kiting); running from guards if you happened to stumble into a town that wasn't friendly to you. From one moment to the next, one group to the next, you never really knew what the day would hold.
This video, created by the team at SOE, is not only a nod to those fun "Where the hell is Matt" videos, but also a really nice trip down memory lane for those of us who have played - or still play - EverQuest. Added to the mix of various areas are tidbits of EverQuest trivia. One such little morsel is that Qeynos is actually Sony EQ spelled backwards, if you hadn't caught that. So, if you've ever spent time in Norrath, be sure to check out their 10-year tribute video - and the related trivia - after the break!

I'll somewhat agree with you. Recently the trend of new MMO's has been disappointing. And all of the older MMOs are beginning to show their age.
The reason I don't totally agree is because I can't afford to play EVERY MMO that comes out. While I've certainly played a good portion of them, I still have a limited income.
You're obviously a fan of MMO's. Otherwise you wouldn't be on this website. I would guess you played a game at one point that got you into the genre. What was it that you used to play? Give us a brief back story on moo.

It was a great game in its prime, and I had alot of fun with it from Kunark to about the Luclin era. I think it would have been better if the tribute had shown the progression and how much the game has changed, starting with old models and content and moving forward.
