- EverQuest Legends is the 1999 MMO you know and love born again with more respect for your time - 24 March 2026

- EverQuest players plan to flood a server with ogres to convince devs to bring back classic PvP - 28 February 2020
This Saturday, hundreds of classic EverQuest players plan on flooding one of the game’s servers in protest of the lack of a vintage PvP server. The 21-year-old MMO still has a pretty thriving community , including several servers running older versions, but the game currently has just one official PvP server and it’s on modern EverQuest. This means anyone who wants a classic PvP experience needs to use private community-run servers. But these players have had enough, they want their old PvP back, and they’re rising up as ogres to get the developers’ attention. I spoke to one of the ringleaders ahead of the protest. (more…)
- EverQuest rolling back to day one thanks to fan server Project 1999 - 16 September 2019
Twenty years of EverQuest , blimey! I’d have been four years old when that came out, too young to experience the harsh and clunky fantasy world that made World of Warcraft a shocking breeze when it hit. A fresh-faced baby, free from worrying about losing all my boar teeth and experience points on death. EverQuest is still kicking about, two decades of updates and expansions on. But like any game with a lifespan that long, there are always folks who want to take a step back to the rose-tinted good old days. Unofficially, Project 1999 is about to give them just that. (more…)

- EverQuest is 20 years old, and people are still playing - 18 March 2019
