Return to Norath Day 2, Part 2
By flisk | March 13, 2009
March 13th, 2009. Day 2, Part 2.
After some rest I decided to give it another go. Most of the locations I used to haunt are returning to memory. The Nexus, Queynos, Freeport, yeah, I remember most of em now. I decided to find the bank, I could not remember what all I had in there.
Lo and behold! I have over 2,000 Platinum! Is that good? I don’t recall what stuff really costs here anymore. I left all of it in the bank and went to the Planes of Knowledge again. This time I had a necklace with a tooth on it. I found a gargoyle and gave it to him, he asked me to join his cause.
What the hell. I did.
I was then transformed into a winged Gargoyle! This was new to me, and was certainly not in the game way back when! I travelled the land, killing little gray critters and scooping up the trash they had. I then went back to my original form and took off to Queynos. I found some skeletons waay west of the city (at least I think it was west). I killed them and traveled though a cave. Found myself getting very bored, for even attacking gray monsters seemed to take over 2 minutes (and I was hitting them with two weapons at the same time for about 30 to 70 damage each swing!).
I then found that I was looking at how crap-tacular the graphics were. Yeah, I know the game is super old, but seriously? You’d think they would have vamped up the graphics a little. Hell there were parts where I could see forever and there were no trees, no monsters, no buildings, just the sky and flat land.
No wonder I went to World of Warcraft way back then.
And that’s the thought process I had when I sat down to log out for the evening.
30 seconds.
What did I accomplish? Nothing really, just went from one place to another.
25 seconds.
Did you do anything fun? Well, I turned into a gargoyle for a bit, that was kindav neat. But not neat enough to hold my attention for too long.
20 seconds.
And you didn’t like the graphics? No, but I kindav knew that going back into it, besides, not all games are great solely because of their graphics, I also like the storylines.
15 seconds.
Do you like the storyline in EverQuest? Beats me, I honestly didn’t read half the dialogue, I just smacked the keywords when hailing an NPC. I guess I would have to say no then.
10 seconds.
You gonna keep on playin? Yeah, for a little longer, not tonight, but later.
5 seconds.
At least you are giving it a try. Well, at least in this second part of today I did not die…
