Line 41:
* [[Breast Plate]]: Mainly averted. EQ is generally quite realistic about armor for female characters. The female half-elf model in leather armor, however, plays this one completely straight, as do many of the cloth armor sets. EQ got its reputation for filling the [[Breast Plate]] trope because characters without armor quite literally run around in their underwear, and because most of the advertising of the game consists of the skimpily dressed Firiona Vie.
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: In terms of the lore and history behind the world of Norrath, things are split up into two categories. First is that anything actually found inside [[EverQuest]], [[EverQuest]] 2 (up to a certain point in time for it's own storyline with [[EverQuest]]), and [[EverQuest]] Online Adventures is official canon to the games. There's also the tabletop Pen & Paper versions of the games, which have much more detailed stories and lore, but aren't considered canon unless it's also covered in the game.
* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: Necromancers and Shaman have a series of spells called "Cannibalize", which convert hitpoints to mana.
* [[Catfolk]]: The Vah Shir
Line 65 ⟶ 62:
* [[Enough to Go Around]]: It's not uncommon for the target of a quest to drop 3 or 6 copies of the needed quest item.
* [[Expansion Pack]]: Many many of these. They churn them out so often. As of May 2012, there are 18 total.
* [[Feelies]]: The retail versions of the game's expansion packs all came with a cloth or paper map of the world of Norrath, focusing on the new area of that expansion. Planes of Power went one step further and included a figurine of Firiona Vie.
* [[Fetch Quest]]: By the bushel.
Line 118 ⟶ 114:
* [[Trope Codifier]]: One can rest assured that EQ popularized just about every single trope we associate with MMORPGs today.
* [[The Usual Adversaries]]: The gnolls. Gnolls aren't much of a serious threat, but they are always, always, always making a nuisance of themselves.
* [[World of Buxom]]: The females from just about every race has the equivalent of a D cup for that race's size. That gnome may have small breasts, but they're huge for a gnome. The female models were developed by a woman who admittedly wanted them to look both heroic and sexy at the same time.
* [[You Can't Get Ye Flask]]: Quests are triggered by certain words. Usually the relevant [words] are enclosed in [brackets] so you know which ones to use, but sometimes the word has to be used in a certain format. It can get quite confusing. Sometimes an NPC gives you a [key word or phrase] as part of a quest reward and if you didn't memorize it right on the first try, you're stuck unless you can find the correct line in a FAQ.
