hi there, A friend introduced me to this game but I was wondering how active is it? Do people still play it ..
I'm gonna need you to define the terms, active, game, play and it, to objectively answer your question.
It's not like 1999-2003 with huge numbers of new low level people around. The game is pretty quiet until you approach max level. But it's easy to find guilds and people to play with. There are tens of thousands of subscribed players and new content is released on a regular schedule. It's more active than any other MMO from its era.
Compared to many MMOs, and considering its a 20 year old elf-simulator, I would say it's as active as most. Due to the long lifetime, there's an almost constant churn of people leaving and coming back. Just read the forum posts. My advice to new folks is to bring your friends, and don't be shy, but don't expect a lot of help from your fellow players. This game is best enjoyed in company, but sadly most of the die-hard long term players nowadays have forgotten this and have become insular soloists who don't have a lot of patience for others. Don't let this discourage you, it's still a great game and there are a lot of great and helpful players, they're just rare spawns.
I do not know of many, if any MMO's that are 10-15 years old let alone almost 21 years old that still maintain this many servers: https://www.daybreakgames.com/status#eq Agnarr Live 1 minutes ago up low Antonius Bayle (EU) Live 1 minutes ago up medium Bertoxxulous Live 1 minutes ago up medium Beta Beta 2 minutes ago up locked Brekt Live 1 minutes ago up low Bristlebane Live 1 minutes ago up high Cazic-Thule Live 1 minutes ago up medium Coirnav Live 1 minutes ago up low Drinal Live 1 minutes ago up low EQ20th Mangler Live 1 minutes ago up high EQ20th Selo Live 1 minutes ago up low Erollisi Marr Live 1 minutes ago up medium Fippy Darkpaw (TLP) Live 1 minutes ago up low Firiona Vie (RP) Live 1 minutes ago up high Lockjaw Live 1 minutes ago up low Luclin Live 1 minutes ago up medium Miragul Live 1 minutes ago up low Phinigel Live 1 minutes ago up low Povar Live 1 minutes ago up low Ragefire Live 1 minutes ago up low Test Test 1 minutes ago up low The Rathe Live 1 minutes ago up medium Trakanon Live 1 minutes ago up low Tunare Live 1 minutes ago up low Vox Live 1 minutes ago up low Xegony Live 1 minutes ago up medium Zek Live 1 minutes ago up low ------------------ So to answer your question, yes this game is active and far more active then many games as old as or even 5 years younger then it is. Some servers have very high populations, many have low populations. But each server costs money to operate and the company feels that each server on this list is still financially viable so they continue to operate them.
This is gonna sound like a dumb question but, is there away to shut off the auto-attack in the game, everytime I hit the melee attack button it triggers an auto-attack.. I have seen people playing in the tutorial zone,,,,
Over the years SOE and now Daybreak/Darkpaw Games has added many in game commands. ZAM has a decent list of them here:[There also other sites that have really good resources for new players.

The default of ON turns on your autoattack when you use /assist. If you type /assist off then autoattack will not start when you use /assist. This is one case where you must use the parameters on and off for this to work. /attack [ON/OFF] -- Toggles in and out of attack mode. This will put you in attack mode even if nothing is targeted. Be careful not to use this when near NPC's that you have targeted. By default, this is set to the "a" key. Care should also be taken when you are near an NPC that you have targeted not to hit the "a" key, as this may cause you to attack the NPC. /auction -- Auctions item for sale to the zone /autosplit [/au] - Automatically splits any loot you get with the rest of your party. /book [1-50] -- Opens your spell book to the specified page. /bug or /b - Takes you to a bug-reporting screen. /camp [desktop/server] -- Allows the player to exit to the server select screen or desktop depending on what is specified.

Duel is in effect until one "dies" (is knocked unconscious) or flees the zone. /dynamiclights [ON/OFF] -- When on, this command enables players to see specially rendered lighting.

Default setting recommended is /fastdrop off. /feedback -- Takes you to the feedback/comments screen. /filter - Turns on and off the bad language filter. /follow - Will follow the person who is targetted, if you are in his or her group. Be careful using in areas with water or lava since it doesn't discriminate between safe and unsafe areas to wrun. /friend [name] -- Adds or removes a "friend" from your friends list. Very useful command if you have friends you wnat to hook up with regularly. A /friend by itself will list the players in your friends list. A /who friend will let you know if anyone on your friends list is in the zone you are in, and a /who all friend will let you know if anyone on your friends list is on the server you are on. /ftell <msg> -- sends a tell to everyone on your friends list. /g (or /gsay)-- Talks to everyone in your group.

Invites someone into your guild. /guildmotd <text< - Officers of a guilds can specify the text to show up after the regular server MOTD (Message of the Day) for each of their guild members when they log in. The guild message of the day will always be preceded by the name of the guild officer that set it up. There is a maximum of around 200 characters for this guild motd. Any new guild message of the day overwrites the last guild message of the day. When a server goes down, all guild messages of the day will be deleted and will need to be reset. There is no other way to delete a guild message of the day. /guildpeace [name of guild] -- Guildmaster only. Declares peace with your enemy. /guildleader -- Transfers guild leadership status to the targeted guild officer.. /guildremove -- Officer only. Removes a person from the guild.

Declares war. /help -- list all of the available in game commands. If you don't want to print out this list, then this is the one command you probably should try to remember. /hidecorpses [all/none/allbutgroup] -- This command allows the player to choose to not see other player's corpses in-game. This allows for less lag in situations where there are many corpses around. Keep in mind that the all and the allbutgroup options will hide NPC corpses. Your own corpse is never hidden. The default is none. /ignore [name] -- Turns off all text from that player /inspect [ON/OFF] -- Toggles on and off your ability to inspect others with a right-click of the mouse. Use this toggle if you use the mouse for movement and find yourself accidentally inspecting others. /invite [target] -- Invites targeted player into a group.

The log.txt file that is generated can be found in your EverQuest directory. /loc (or /l) -- You may want to put this command in your hot keys so that you can use it when you are about to die. Then you only have to scroll back up to see where your corpse is located. You can also use /loc to keep track of important locations within a zone or to coordinate positions with a friend. It gives you an X-Y set of coordinates of where you are or where the object you are targeting is. It works as follows: X - This is your North/South direction. The higher the number, the further North you are, and the lower the number the further South you are. Y - This is your East/West direction. The higher the number, the further West you are, and the lower the number, the further East you are. If you're trying to track down something and you have the coordinates but don't want to deal with the North/East/South/West thing, all you have to do is start walking around while rapidly using the /loc command and see the difference in x,y while you walk in different direcitions. If your current x is higher than the x you're trying to find, change directions until x starts to get smaller. If you keep using /loc you should narrow in on an x,y location very quickly. Remember to be in the same zone though. (Thanks to Zauron for the input on /loc) /log on or off -- turns on the feature that copies your log to a text file in your EQ directory. /loot - loots a corpse which is located in shallow water or lava, keeping you from having to go in yourself. /lootnodrop [ALWAYS/SOMETIMES/NEVER] -- This command is used to specify how you loot no drop items on corpses. Always is default and will cause a prompt box to always be shown when looting no drop items. Set to sometimes so only items not usable by your character will show a prompt box. When you have this set to never, you will never get a confirmation box to see if you want to loot or not. /mcicontrol -- Allows a player to control sound devices such as cdaudio or mp3s to play when in-game. This command will be further developed in the future to be more user friendly. /mousespeed [0-3] -- Changes the mouse travel speed across the monitor. 3 is the maximum setting (the higher the number the faster the mouse moves). Don't set this above 3. Your mouse will move too quickly and you will probably not be able to play. /msg -- /note <text> - Allows the player to write notes when in-game to be referenced later out of game. This creates a notes.txt file of the text. Each line of text sent using /note is appended to the end of this file. There is a maximum number of 455 characters when creating a note. /ooc -- Makes an out of character statement to everyone in the zone. /pet as you were -- Makes pet forget all other commands including follow /pet attack (with NPC targeted) -- Pet will attack targetted creature /pet back off -- Tells pet to quit attacking target (if you are he is attack he will continue to swing) /pet follow me -- Pet's will start following you (cancels any other guard commands) /pet get lost - pet suicides /pet guard here -- Makes your pet stand in one one location, which he will return to after fights. /pet guard me -- Pet will attack anything around you that is a NPC (Not good in Towns near Good NPC's) /pet health report --- this displays the current hps of your pet. /pet who leader -- Pet will report who summoned it. /pet report health - Your pet will tell you it's hit point status. /pet sit down -- Causes pet to sit in one place and restmuch like you sitting down /pet stand up -- If your pet is sitting, he will stand up. /pet target -- Targets your pet.

Really only for emergency uses, such as when the boss walks into your office. /random (x or x,y) -- Generates a random number between 0 and x, or between x and y if two numbers are stated. This can be used to decide things randomly, for instance, who gets a recently acquired treasure. /reply [or "r" key] -- Sends a /tell to the last person who sent you a /tell message. /report [name] -- sends a report to the gm containing the visible 10 lines of text from your chat window.

Useful if you have changed your default to group say. /sdriver -- /serverfilter [ON/OFF] -- Allows player to turn off or on packet messages from other players, allowing for less lag in raid situations. /shout -- Shouts to all of the zone.

Make sure you put the zeros in there or you will split more thatn you intended. /stopsong -- stops your song (bards). /surname (or /sur) [name] -- After you reach level 20, you can use this command to choose your last name.

You should get familiar with using this command, since it is very useful. If someone invites you to join type /who his name to see his race, class and level. If you're missing a corpse, try /who b or /who n to find a bard or necromancer to ask for help. If you're not sure you have a corpse in a zone, /who corpse will tell you. Looking for a Cleric, try /who c. Wondering if your friend is in the game yet, try /who all his name and it will tell you. Looking for people within a certain level range (say 18 to 22), type /who 18 22. /yell (or /y) -- You yell for help. People around you will hear "XXX yelled for help from your [direction]. This is a very useful emote/command which you may want to consider hot keying.

Instead of listing all the servers that happen to exist why not just provide them with the actual information: https://www.daybreakgames.com/status#eq This game is insanely top heavy, you will honestly very likely hit a wall while leveling alone because it wasn't really designed to played alone. There isn't anyone to play with before you can group with max level players, most of the time. Outside of a few medium (maybe high during peak hours) pop regular servers and the latest TLP server it is rough. Hopefully your friend will help you.
You posted the same link I posted above the list, maybe you missed it. And your assessment is not entirely accurate. Some servers have a robust middle, typically TLP servers. The older servers do have a high top end and not much in the 1-60 game for grouping consistently. But the OP said hes playing with friends so hes locked into whatever server they play on and they will likely carry/PL him.
A rather dystopian view. I have been playing since Kunark lauched. I enjoy company, perhaps more than most. The reasons I do not regularly take every returning/new player that announces themselves under my wing are many and varied, but here's the punchline: - Many, if not most, of the new or returning players I take the time to meet ask for and expect handouts. I will get tells every time I log in, "Come level [with] me. We can hang out!" Once I arrive they put me on auto follow and they're a ghost until they need to log off. Most of the time not even a thanks is given. So, Ted the Mechanic (New Member) - pardon me if I don't race to the aid of the unappreciative and entitled.
Well, there is not really a 'single melee attack' concept. It is a toggle. You either contiguously swinging at your target or you are not. I think default for attack is A, but people usually remap it.
This game feels more active compared to other MMOs that came out in the late 90s/early 2000s like UO and DAOC. Both of those games are ghost towns.
The leveling population is super server dependent to be honest. Current expansion servers tend to be very top heavy, time-locked progression servers are great so long as you get in before almost everyone has reached cap. Mangler is at or very close to being unreasonable to level up on from Lvl 1-40. Then P99 Green server is pretty solid at the moment to level up on & get groups. What server you pick is really dependent on what sort of experience you want. EverQuest's player experience is HEAVILY altered by what server ruleset & expansion-set you choose. 26th expansion EQ is very different imo from first 5 core-expansions let alone the patches that live servers have that P99 eschews.
The question about viability varies with servers ChristyAnn. There are servers that do help and nurture low level and returning players. You will find a number of higher level characters working on their own progression to exclusion of others and that is fine. Most of the time it is a goal-orientated mindset at that moment. But I see a number of higher level players that do work together for mutual benefits. And there are many at all levels that will aid a new/returning player. After all, every one of us at some point has been 'that' new level one player. I suggest finding a server that sounds good for what you are looking for and then a guild on that server that matches up with what you want out of Everquest. The ease of play at the lower levels will allow you to advance rapidly at first and give you a good opportunity to adjust to what you are looking for. You will find many here that have played Everquest for a generation. And a number that have left, but since returned because for its faults, it is still a great game and community.
Given that EverQuest has been running for 20 Years & has had 26 expansions it's in very good shape for such an old game, it is still getting new expansions & other content added to it even after all this time & it has a very loyal player base, only Daybreak has a real handle on how many actual active players the game has currently but my guess is it has around 25,000 people playing it. The game has about a 50/50 split of players playing on live servers or TLP. Live servers have a mostly top-level population playing in the most recent expansion Torment of Velious (level cap 115) & TLP (Time Locked Progression) servers which start with only the classic game unlocked & then unlock each expansion at a set pace are at different stages of the game have players mostly at teh level cap for the stage the game is at on their server. For example Mangler being one of the most recently released server with a good population on it is about to unlock the Planes of Power (level cap 65) has mostly level 60 players, while Phinigel which was the first TLP server has just unlocked Call of the Forsaken (Level 100) has mostly level 100 players - there are some other progression servers though, Ragefire & Lockjaw unlock expansions by way of voting. There is a possibility that the game will have a new TLP unlock in March but no details on that, it's possible rule-set or indeed IF there will in fact be one as yet (there might not be).
