EverQuest, often called EQ, is a 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
From 2000 until 2004, EverQuest was the most popular MMORPG. EverQuest has earned many awards, including GameSpot's Game of the Year Award for 1999.
A sequel, EverQuest II, was released in late 2004.
In EverQuest, players create a character (also known as an avatar, or colloquially as char, charrie or toon) by selecting one of 14 "races" in the game, which range from elves, dwarves and ogres of fantasy, to humans, to cat-people (Vah Shir) and lizard-people (Iksar). Players also select their characters' adventuring occupation (such as a wizard, ranger, or cleric—called a class).
Players use their character to explore the fantasy world of Norrath, fight monsters and enemies for treasure and experience points, and master trade skills. As they progress, players advance in level, gaining power, prestige, spells, and abilities through actions such as looting the remains of defeated enemies and doing quests.
EverQuest also allows players to interact with other players through role-play, joining player guilds, and duelling other players.
The geography of the game universe consists of nearly four hundred zones. Multiple instances of the world exist on various servers, each one hosting between one and three thousand simultaneous players online during peak times
