It's better than I'd hoped for, and I had very high hopes for it.
Buy it now (you get the first 30 days free, you don't have to enter a credit card or anything) and then it works out at around £7 a month thereafter if you want to carry on playing online. (There's no offline mode).
The one thing that worried me about EverQuest was its playability, would I enjoy it if I was only playing it in little bursts of an hour at a time? The answer is yes, it's VERY easy to do in little bursts, as opposed to most online games that require you to have no life whatsoever and spend sleepless nights killing loads of mobs just to reach the next level to get a new pair of boots.
If you're still not convinced, wait for the glowing review to be posted a little later on when I've finished my next quest :)

Well FM i shall be joining you in the realm of Everquest from today. Off up town in less than a hour to buy it from Gamestation. Think i remember them offering it for £30. If not i'll have Smackdown: SYM and Ghost Recon to trade in anyway.
I'll tell you my username once i've decided on one (not sure whether to go with Laker or a name off Battle Royale) so you can avoid me :-D

Phuzzy shall be me name, if I have my way :D

£7 a month!? Too steep! I know its not much, but its still to much for what it is.
Still, glad your enjoying it.

Not too bad considering i heard tales of over 1000 hours on LOM just to get past level 40.

Yea i can really feel your pain and anguish FM hehe.
By the way how quick is the levelling up. I remember playing Legend of Mir and shot through the first 18 levels but then it took around 5 hours to get to level 19 with non stop fighting.

Sure does. Level 23 now and loving every minute of it. Highest level I've seen so far is 25 but I haven't been on for a few days due to been trundled off the Sony's Gamers' Day to play Killzone. (Such are the sacrifices we have to make sometimes...).
Everquest rules!!!

All the games that are currently online you can play for free online, no extra charge, except for EverQuest which is between £5.50 and £7.50 a month depending on how much gametime you buy in one hit. E.g. you can play SOCOM, Hardware, Destruction Derby Arenas, FIFA 2004, Fire Warrior etc 24/7 no charge. Or you can play EverQuest 24/7 £5.50 a month extra.
