i just started playing EverQuest, the first MMORPG, from 1999 and I am playing on the official servers, run by Daybreak Games. My god, this game is incredible. Like, i have finally found the perfect game.

Who else here loves EverQuest?

I’m liking it so far, but when does the actual main game start? I’ve been playing for a long time now (just escaped Alexandria in disc 2) and I’m still just getting tossed around by the story with party members leaving and switching perspectives left and right. I feel like I’m playing the longest prologue of all time, it’s like 5 mini midgars in a row with some frog catching in between. How long does it take to actually get my party back together and get let loose in the world?

You get a fucking ship and airship in disc 3 and even another airship in disc 4 and a flying chocobo. Keep playing retard.
>>
It gets into the full swing of things a little after halfway through disc 1 where you leave Lindblum and can do chocobo stuff, get AP for to learn abilities from the weaker weapons you didn't get all the abilities from that you'll never want to use later, and get a bunch of blue magic.

>>11396297
You can also do that quiz bullshit and play cards. I easily waste 3 hours after lindblum before i go to burmecia
>>
>>11396372
I lost a card playing that minigame at the start of the game and haven’t touched it since. Doesn’t really seem to be any rewards for playing it anyway besides more cards so I don’t really care.
>>
chocobo hot and cold is the best minigame in any jrpg bar none.i have never and will never get the excalibur II solely because of this minigame.

It's fucking retarded bullshit you basically have to 1CC this game just to beat it because the minigame to get 1ups is stupidly fucking difficult. Even reaching it is a pain in the ass, but bouncing around like a spastic trying to grab 50 rings before falling out the maze is near impossible for me

Recommend me some games (for any of the Gameboy systems) that aren't cartoony or childish. It doesn't have to be gory or M rated but it should aim for a serious atmosphere and realistic aesthetics.

Its only marble I dont like in sonic 1
>>
>>11396651
I'm assuming you are only talking about the boss? Otherwise by far the easiest method to do it is to just take it slow and always grab the air bubbles. There is loads of time between bubble stations so long as you don't skip right past multiple of them. You shouldn't die in labyrinth zone when taking it slow.

>>11396683
Ah, marble zone is my favorite. But I only really like Sonic 1. Sonic 2 levels are just a convoluted mess full of trial and error and gimmicks and completely missed the appeal of the series.

I'm pretty sure either the 32x or Saturn versions of NBA Jam TE were better. I do Keep Jaguar on my BigBox with Tempest, Raiden, FlashBack, and AVP. Although I don't think the last 3 are the best ports. Flashback versions are all worse/better in different ways

>the lists are sometimes hundreds of achievements long

Yeah having bloated achievement lists is one of the worst things about the site. If I check a game and see that it has 300 achievements, there's no chance that I'll try to hunt for achievements even if it's a game that I love.
>>
>>11396069
>why they like recognition for doing something enjoyable rather than simply liking the gameplay itself
It's not about recognition, having an achievement on a site as proof is just a byproduct of playing the game for enjoyment.

I'd say they are worth a try if you already played the game multiple times and want to give it a new spin

That is, unless you go for the very specific "early human" evolution in which case you're permanently locked out from performing any evolution.
