  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Well, there are a few bugs with how the graphics work. There is also a really bad documentation system. Hard for new players to figure out what the heck they are doing. I got this game free with my .Mac renewal, but I probably wont renew my free month of the subscription service. To high of a learning curve.

• fun but buggy

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It's a lot of fun to run around this world and talk to folks but the program is awfully buggy for something with a subscription fee. For example, the monsters seem to have a precarious relationship with gravity. They often start going up trees if they run into them. Walls seem to be irrelevant to them. They walk right through them and attack you. Tonite I keep getting this bug where I can't type any more and have to log out to get back to normal if I try to reply to someone. And it's VERY common to be disconnected or otherwise have the game crash. Irritating...

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It gets a big "eh" from me. I caught quite a few bugs, and I never saw them actually get fixed. The beta ended while it was still iffy in that department, and they actually (supposedly) took out some of the features that made it playable. Anyhow, if menial quests and endless level-treadmilling are your things, by all means go for this game; I hear a lot of people love it, so it probably just wasn't my thing. Regardless, I'm not pleased with how the beta was cut off while many of the bugs were still there. As with some others, I do recommend Shadowbane, which is significantly more developed, and (now) a great deal more polished.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I was a beta tester for "EQ for the Mac" who played a bit here and there. The game is really poorly made compared to the others out today. I also play Shadowbane and find the difference between the two to be immense. The gameplay is too complicated (I especially hate the first person view), the features are nonexistant since all the newer games have more, and the quality is poor - the game does not pull you into it, it's not addictive in any way, unlike most other MMORPGs out today. EverQuest is an old game, I suggest you do not waste any more time on it.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have to say, that Everquest was fun, a little bit, but the one thing that has kept me from buying it is that the load times are so long. I can't stand it, but maybe I need to upgrade the memory in my system, I only have 256MB. But anyway, the load times are LONG, but otherwise, it's a solid game.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This actually is a great game &amp; quite addictive. I have several friends that play the PC version, and it plays just as well on the Mac as the PC. To me this is impressive, since they have had to port their entire 3D environment to OS X. We also get quite a deal in one regard, the Mac version includes the first 3 expansions, so we are only one behind (so far). That saves us a bit of dough at least. Though I do have to admit it would be nice to be able to play with the folks I know that are on the PC servers...then again, what would a level 10 Druid do with a bunch of level 60 players? :^D
