EverQuest: The 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition

I got this today, and was impressed with the size and presentation of the book, especially for this price.

The book is quite art heavy in places, although alot of it is original design sketches, diagrams, and behind the scenes artwork, which I havent seen before, and thought was cool to see how the places I know had evolved from the design to live.

The first half is about EverQuest 1, about how it was concieved, and how it came to go live etc. The second half is about EverQuest 2 (which I play now), and again its interesting to see the original designs, and hear from the designers and producers through the ages.

All in all, I thought for the price, its a pretty good buy for fans of the EverQuest franchise, and I would recommend it.

For all intents and purposes it was a good book that gave a lot of background history for and about Everquest. If you like the lore, the stories and are an off/on player I would fully recommend you get this book. No questions. Although I hope soon they'll add in UF/HoT too.

when i got the book i was impressed with the size of the book (its really big size wise) and with the number of pages of it. Unfortunatly this book doesnt have a whole lot going for it.

The artwork is nice but most of it is just a bunch of pics from the LoN card game thats been blown up to size. The first part of the book talks about how the game got started which kept me interested and thats from someone who cant stand reading stuff due to my ADD.

It gives some details of the expansion packs, some barely have any info. The rest of the book talks about EQ2 and LoN which is odd since none of those are close to 10 years old. I would prefer just a book on EQ only which i would assume the majority of you feel the same. I wouldnt mind a few pages on EQ2 and LoN but come on, no need to make a large portion of the book on it.

But believe it or not it doesnt even list the...Read more
