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 :)

This was the next game i was going to buy after SD5. FM how does the chatting system work? Does the joypad suffice or will i have to buy another keyboard? and do you actually fight the battles or is it like Legend of Mir where you just highlight the enemy and then the character keeps fighting on it's own until you tell it to stop or you defeat the enemy?

I didn't think this was out until this Friday. Couldn't see it in any of the shops and Gamestation's release chart stated 24th last week then 31st when I went in on Saturday.
