Level 2 in 5 minutes rather than 1 hour
On the Ragefire EQ progression server it took the better part of an hour to level up my bard to level 2. In comparison, I started my Orc Hunter in WoW and it took all of 2 quests to get up to the same level.
Then, after that difficult quest to start off, I was tasked with shooting a bunch of Mottled Boars that were penned up on a farm. I felt kinda bad about this quest since the boar had no chance of escape and were sitting ducks for me and PigglyWiggly – my pet boar. Completing and turning in this quest a few minutes later and I reached level 2. I think it took all of 5 minutes and most of that was running back and forth to the farm and Gornek.
It is pretty apparent why WoW took the crown from EQ back in the day, but the grind in Everquest is still fun all these years later.
