A fond look back at the horrors of the early MMO pioneer.

    I never could get into Everquest because I played Asheron’s Call. Back then it seemed you either chose EQ, UO, or AC and stuck with it.

    But EQ was the biggest and therefore every MMO onward essentially used EQ as a foundation.

    EQ is still going pretty strong, releasing new DLC every year and adding the DLC from 3 years prior to the free to play list. Theres 23 years of free content to play, though it may feel baron at times due to being top heavy

    So the other night I logged into the somehow-still-going EverQuest (albeit in somewhat dubious free-to-play form) and sighed. It was the wrong account details. I forgot I had two accounts. The one I needed, the one with thousands of hours of gameplay tied to it, was lost to a now-closed email account and my inability to remember what the password had been.

    It’s fitting, I think. Out of all the battles in EverQuest that I conquered, this is one I can’t win. It’s probably for the best.

    Might still be able to recover the account. Apparently there’s also a manual process.
