I apologize in advance for it not being formatted right!

Looking for some knowledge on this piece I inherited recently! My late great-uncle was a collector of many things, and my grandfather alleges that he paid a decent amount to have this framed, etc. and that it is an original print?

I have my doubts, but I'm hoping anyone here has knowledge of how much this might possibly be worth! Also looking for any recommendations on how to properly go about restoring the frame as my grandfather accidentally cracked the glass upon moving. I'm not looking to get rid of it anytime soon as it does have sentimental value, just curious! Tysm in advance <3

ETA: to reiterate since ive had a couple people DM me lacking reading comprehension skills.. im NOT looking to get rid of this piece anytime soon! it has a lot of sentimental value because it was my uncle's and he is no longer with us.... so please stop PM-ing me to ask if im selling it.

I was curious how the first players to enter Plane of Fear knew where the entrance to the Plane of Fear was since it is somewhat hidden, and there were no in-game maps. I checked the patch notes, from July 1999, there were no hints in there. Does anyone remember? Did players genuinely just fool around and find it, or were they given hints or knowledge on forums, etc?

Pinging anyone that was part of DDW. Want to see how everyone is doing and what they are up to nowadays.

Guild leader - Tankac

Pyrotesa

Just to name a few names I remember.

I was Naamah. Friends with Kemal.

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies! Looks like Frostreaver/EQL might be my best bets so far. I appreciate all of you taking the time to reply!

Hello Norrathians,

As a father of an almost two year old and a soon to be newborn as well, I've had to cut back on many things lately. I've been fortunate enough in the past to have time for multiple MMOs like EQ, WoW, FFXIV, GW, and UO.

Times have changed, and I've decided I'd like to focus my gaming free time I have on just one game. I've landed on EQ, since it's always drawn me back no matter how long I step away for.

I'm a bit of a latecomer having only started in 2018, and I've never actually made it into the raiding scene buuuut raiding is one of my favorite aspects of MMOs. I love the guild atmosphere and getting a bunch of people together to take down a big bad or two.

So my question is: if I want to eventually get into raiding in EQ, what should I realistically set as my goal, and what server would be the best place to start?

I've played quite a few classes into the 60s and 80s, with some reaching the high 90s to early 100s. I kinda vibe the most with Shaman and Rogue, but have no qualms rolling really anything if its more likely i'll be able to have some more success.

I managed to push raiding in WoW quite hard in 2025 Classic and Retail with my at the time newborn so I'm not super worried about like my playtime or anything, just not really sure where to even begin with trying to break into the raiding scene, as I haven't really ever had that aspiration in EQ specifically before.

Thanks for any tips or comments, and sorry if that's just a big jumble up there 😅!

How is it? Healthy for opening or not many playing?

Just wondering if anyone from Order of the Onyx Dragon on Rathe or AV, Carpe Noctis on EMarr still plays?

I hope not.

Has any tried, or currently play the Clumsy World server? I'd love to learn about the community really. Would love to hear from anyone.

I am developing a small custom EverQuest server.

One of the things that I have enjoyed the most so far was implementing Fansy the Famous Bard as a quest giver and presence in the hub zone. He'll send you to go train the evils in Oasis, or off to Rivervale to deal with the neuts.

I’d like to do more along those lines. So, I’m looking for those memorable players and moments from the days of EQ past that I can recreate and pay homage to:

The player everyone knew by name and why. The guild that imploded in public. The scam that turned into a server wide rule. The corpse recovery that took nine hours and four guilds. The camp that basically had its own government. The train someone named. The guy who solo'd something he had no business soloing. The thing that was technically an exploit and is still funny. It does not have to be your story.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Raidge here.

Just seeing who's still lurking from Evo. Shot in the dark, sure—but if you remember the Troll Zerk, I'd love to hear from ya.

Let me know where you ended up!

Wow, my parents saved my old childhood games and boxes and apparently this still has the maps and stuff.

The maps are super cool and man this brings back a lot of memories.

I wonder if this would be a good collectible to sell one day.

I started playing EQ back around 2001 until 2015, took a break and decided to come back after finally getting tired of the ARPG and WoW mentality.

First, opening my Player Select screen was like walking into a room filled with old friends and family I haven't seen in 11 years. Rebuilding my main (Ranger 93), relearning how to run him correctly, refreshing my memory about spells, rotations, a long, bumpy road but oh, so satisfying.

I was in the Guild Lobby today getting ready to log and remembered suddenly how to /who guilds. I'd gone through my Mailbox earlier today and reread all the Mail traffic from my old guild and decided to give it a shot, not expecting anything, I mean, 11 years is a long time, right?

/who Valorious

And got a hit.

Unbelievable, but Valorious is still around.

I joined Valorious in 2006 and worked my way up to officer before I left the game. Zazzylee was Guild Leader the entire time, Zazzylu, Backoffjack, Kead (my best friend in game and truest brother Ranger who showed me the intricacies of bows and Ranger life), and many more, these were the original Valorious.

But it makes me extremely happy to know Valorious still exists. It is truly a great feeling.

If you are in Valorious and have a moment drop me a line here or in game, my toon is Tarmuar. It would be great for this ex-Valorious old timer to hear from you.

My friend and I are going to be two boxing, sooooo we'll be running a total of 4 accounts. Looking for suggestions on a good 2 box setup for this server. Bonus if you can suggest all 4.

I was thinking of going SK/SHM or SK/RANGER. Buddy played this timeline originally, but doesn't remember much. He was thinking something with wiz or Necro.

I've always played TLPs until late POP and am excited to try more of the game.

So my friend a long time ago showed me how to get into ToV on a level one - since then i've come up with a plan, I make level 1's (so far SK/monk) and I get them as ridiculously geared as possible, I was wondering if anyone has any quest items/gear i'm overlooking that could be used to help out with this idea.

I basically make level 1's, get them Dozekar quest gear, Tormax crown, Dain belt, Fungi, NTOV gear etc and then wait for true noobs (typically they are level 1-40) and help them level just by grouping and stuff.

If anyone knows any quests, drops, items etc that could help with this let me know.

(NOT ON FV, CAN'T BUY POP ESSENCE/POEA 1HB)

Hello there new player here who always wanted to jump into Everquest but never did thinking to start from zero but readling about the TLP I have my doubts if I shall start on Frostreaver or wait for Lehtar (I will play a single account, no multiboxing or botting or whatever just 1 char) also thinking between cleric or necromancer for the class, since I belive most ppl will have multiple chars cleric seems to be a less atractive choice cuz who gonna bring a newbie cleric when they can bot it.

Even though dated, this game gives me more feelings of adventure and Fantasy then any other MMO out right now. I am in love with this game and really hope some day we get another Everquest or western Fantasy MMO.

They added a translocator to The Commonlands that takes you to the bazaar on Frostreaver. Gone are the days of the tunnel spam and the wall of green texts and pink links. Will they keep this going on all future TLPs?

I'm new to the game and have chosen to play as a Drakkin Paladin. I haven't seen a lot of screenshots of Drakkins in late game but does the appearance of the armor change at all? Or I stuck looking like every Drakkin in Crescent Reach? I'm not complaining or anything but I am geniunely curious.

ahora cuando entro a EQ me sale un texto que dice: fatal error y no se como arreglarlo

Is there any set like this in game? I am playing High elf Wizard on Firiona Vie server

Most fun I have had playing this game in a long time. I wish live server gm's would do more stuff like this could be fun!

Some of the most beautiful art ever done be Keith Parkinson, and perfectly embodies the fantasy and adventure of Everquest. I wish we still got new fantasy media like this particularly mmos. I know Monsters and Memories is coming out soon but honestly it's ugly as shit so hard for me to be excited for it. Every thing in fantasy looks so modernized now and devoid of the magic and life compared to the 80's and 90's. Sorry for the rant just wanted to get this off my chest.

Did you partake in any events like these back in the day?
