Amazon.com Review
EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark adds a new continent to explore, a new playable character race, and graphics enhancements to the fantasy online world of EverQuest. Current EverQuest players will be able to buy Ruins of Kunark online from Verant, while newcomers to EverQuest will get all of the original game--as well as the expansion--in this box.

New players will be able to create and play as any of the standard EverQuest races (human, elf, dwarf, troll, ogre, and so on) or as an Iksar, a member of a lizardman race that once ruled the continent of Kunark but has since fallen from grace. Even veteran players may be tempted to start a new Iksar character, as Iksars begin play on Kunark and are the only race other than humans that can advance in the Monk character class.

Visually, EverQuest has always wowed players with 3-D accelerated graphics cities, dungeons, waterfalls, creatures, and other fantasy vistas. The creatures and terrain in the new areas have three times as many polygons per model and much larger textures, which means that Kunark is an even greater visual feast.

But Ruins of Kunark is more than pretty graphics and a new race. Over 20 new adventure areas of varying difficulty await explorers of this ancient and mysterious continent. Braving these dangers brings great reward: players who have the Ruins of Kunark expansion will be able to achieve a higher experience level (and therefore more power) than those who fail to upgrade.

EverQuest was an achievement in online role-playing games and quickly became the most popular game in its class. The graphical tweaks, unique new race, new adventure areas, and increased power cap introduced in Ruins of Kunark make the game affectionately known as EverCrack that much more addictive and fun.

Pros:

  • Huge online world
  • 13 races and 14 classes provide plenty of variety
  • Social game; encourages teaming up with other players
Cons:
  • Fee of $10 per month
  • Monster lairs and dungeons can get crowded with players
  • Repetitive gameplay

4 out of 5 stars An excellent expansion, if you're new to the game.   February 25, 2003
Arranul (Kelethin Legions) Paladin (United States of America)
This is the first expansion I bought for EQ, and I found it was perfect for me, as I was what people tend to call a "Newb." This game, in my opinion has fair graphics, good quests, and the Iskar is a fun race to play. The only thing lacking of this expansion, would have to be the lack of places to gain experience and level up at. If you have no other expansions, I would recommend purchasing "EverQuest: The Shadows Of Luclin" before buying this one. For one thing, with Luclin, you can go to Paludal to gain pretty good experience... You also get to go to the Bazaar, which is a pretty fun place. All in all, buying this expansion is a good plan, but if you have the money, you should buy the Luclin expansion first.(Well, technically, you should buy the EQ game itself first, before buying expansions, but you know what I mean.)
