'''''EverQuest''''' (1999) is a [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game]] inspired by [[Multi User Dungeon|DikuMUD]], a [[Dungeons and& Dragons]] textual multiplayer game. It is famed for being highly addictive and having an excellent social environment. It's also one of two games that really put MMOs on the map, sharing the title with [[Ultima Online]], and the model it used for high-end play has been the model used in almost every other game since, even [[World of Warcraft]]. It has also spawned many [[Expansion Pack|Expansion Packs]], a sequel game in ''[[Ever QuestEverQuest II]]'', a novel series, and a film is in the works.
 
''EverQuest'' has been around for so long that balance between new players and long term players is becoming a real problem. Most newbie characters (in the EQ lingo, "toons" or "chars") actually belong to veteran players who give them castoff gear from their level 105 mains, i.e. "twink". If you're below level 60 and actually new to the game, you're nothing besides useless to a group full of twinks.
Line 13:
Many comics poke fun at the MMORPG scene but http://www.gucomics.com/ got their start from it. And although [[The Noob]] pokes fun at other MMORPGs, you better believe that ''EverQuest'' is its primo target.
 
By the way, everything relating to the sequel EverQuest II can now be found at [[Ever QuestEverQuest II]]. The move is still in progress, so if you find any tropes or examples relating to the other page here, please move them. Not to be confused within the series of author-to-player interactive RPGs from [[Tgchan]].

** Besides ''EverQuest'' and ''EverQuest II'', there is the online card game ''Legends of Norrath'', ''Champions of Norrath'' ([[PlayStation 2]] game), ''Champions: Return to Arms'' ([[PlayStation 2]] game), ''[[EverQuest]] Online Adventures'' ([[PlayStation 2]] game), ''[[EverQuest]] Hero's Call'' (Pocket PC), ''[[EverQuest]] Hero's Call 2'' (Pocket PC), ''Lords of [[EverQuest]]'' (PC real-time strategy game), ''[[EverQuest]] Role-Playing Game'' (a role-playing game produced in collaboration with White Wolf which uses the d20 system). Also a line of novels have been published in the world of EverQuest and there has been talk of a feature film for years.
** A new MMORPG called ''[[EverQuest]] Next'' has also been announced.
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: Necromancers and Shaman have a series of spells called "Cannibalize", which convert hitpoints to mana.
* [[Catfolk]]: The Vah Shir
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The Priest(s) of Discord. Around from the earliest days as a method of opting into Player Vs. Player on non PvP servers, they suddenly became ''very'' important shortly before the ''Omens of War'' expansion was released.
