Everquest: Platinum Pack review:1 stars ( Step 1: NO LIFE 101) - If you never want to have a significant other buy this game NOW! I nearly divorced my husband over this POS. Thank GAWD he has more than 1/2 a brain & saw his compulsive tendencies could not manage such a terrible waste of time & chose his family over this mess. We're talking 11 hours passing by like it's a minute people. There is even a support group for the people who've lost loved ones to this scourge. This game has NO END folks. Buy a freaking game with AN END!!!!! SO YOU CAN HAVE A FREAKING LIFE! I guess this thing would be ok for someone who'd like to explore what it's like to be crippled, or terminally ill & has no family or friends to think of. Maybe it'd make a good game for dire enemies.... If so, have at it. But be warned, this game is trouble for those with any sort of compulsive/addictive behaviors in their past----leading to a high probability of losing family, friends & relations w/your significant other. You've been warned.
2 stars (The Ultimate Time Sink) - I started playing in 1998. They have a little feature in game that will tell you how 'old' your character ('toon) is. I remember when I looked at the 'age' of the character and saw 70 days. 70 days!? 70 days * 24 hours/day = 1,680 hours. What a tragic waste of valuable time in my life.
I pulled the plug. Lo and behold, I worked harder at work and was promoted not once, but twice. I met a woman and got married. I remodeled my basement/garage.
Do not bother with this game. The longer you play, the more demanding on your time it is. LIVE LIFE!2 stars (Game runs fine, but why the hype?) - First of all, to adress a previous reviewer: I have Windows XP and I've had zero problems running the game. It takes a bit to start up, but the gameplay itself is fine.
However, after listening for years to all the hype about Everquest, I'm very disappointed. I find this game to be really boring. I just don't see what the fuss is about.
