About

There have been whispers and pleas, even shouts of excitement about a return to Classic EverQuest. Many have considered our numbers to be too few, or our convictions too varied, but the pleas and efforts of those who yearn for Old Norrath to achieve what we desire are too strong to be ignored. One result of this collective desire was the creation of the Classic EverQuest Petition.

The ruleset outlined in the Classic EverQuest Petition is a request to breathe life into the old game we all have come to enjoy throughout the years and bring back meaning to the original zones and lore. Those who long to stroll down Norrath's well traveled paths once again are many in number, but being spread across many game worlds, it has remained a silent longing... until now.

The Classic EverQuest Petition hails a return to a style of gameplay that is long forgotten by modern games, yet remains greatly desired; one that has since been replaced by ever increasing mudflation driven by a desire to receive advancement with little effort spent to achieve it. We do not desire easy mode gameplay with its rapidly earned experience, equipment which has no fame among the lands yet carries ever heavy bonuses, and its focus on very high end raiding over all else.

We are the players who desire to play a game that has its focus on the lore in the lands we tread upon, challenge that is risky but not without its rewards, and maybe even to best a dragon or two... but most of all we long for the social environment that can only exist in such a game. We believe that these are all found back in Old Norrath, and after battling long and hard in many lands we are ready to take up arms yet again in the place we all once knew as home.

These lofty desires we hold cannot be fulfilled in Modern EverQuest simply by limiting ourselves to certain content, or by creating a server with content simply locked off. To truly capture the style of gameplay and social environment we long for requires all of the rules and mechanics of the Classic era, with all the challenge and hardship they carry. Each and every rule contributed to the experience. It was not just the newness of the world that attracted us, but the focus of The Vision on building a world rich in lore... and unforgiving in consequences; much like another world we know.

It may not be a perfect world, but it is our world... and we want to be in it again!
