Does it get good 100 hours in? Let's find out!
Hi, I'm Josh Strife Hayes, I've spent 100 hours adventuring through Norrath as a Shadow Knight, a Necromancer and a Magician, I've played Live servers and Progression servers to see if Everquest is worth playing in 2024.
A Massive thank you to the supporters on Patreon, Youtube and Twitch who keep this channel alive!

Fresh Start servers, or Classic servers of current MMORPGs allow you to relive the glory days of day 1, the initial rush of players, the inception of the adventure.
but, why does a genre famed for being a forever game, appeal to so many when it restarts?
Doesnt starting again defeat the purpose of playing a long term consistent MMORPG game in the first place?
As usual a massive thank you to the supporters on Patreon, sorry Ive been away for a while, had some stuff to deal with :)")

Oh Runes of Magic, how I love you, and how you hurt me.
100% honesty, Runes of Magic is one of my absolute favourite MMORPGs, its a game I feel has so much potential, and yet the designers and the producers seem focused on driving it further and further into the ground and ignoring the NINE YEAR old memory crash bug.
This video is both a love letter to, and a scathing remark toward, Runes of Magic.
I still like you Gameforge.
Thanks to my Patreon supporters and Twitch subs for making my channel possible!")

Pay to win
Pay to advance
Pay for convenience
Are ALL the same thing.
If you can give the game more money to become more powerful or gain advantages, the game is pay to win.
When a game becomes Pay wo Win, it actually creates an environment where the best way to advance in the game, is to go to work, then spend money on the game, actually PLAYING the game is an awful way to level up.
As usual, thank you to my Patreon and Twitch supporters.")
