In the before time there was EverQuest in the time after there was EverQuest II the quest for more money.
For starters jobs do near enough the same thing when you think about it. Yeah have to be in work at the right time do the each day take a short break come home go to sleep and do the very same thing again the next day. If MMO's where just about that then people would not fork out the money per month to play them. As realy an MMO's is not realy about who can spend the most time in game or who has the best loot it is realy about working as a team getting the job done and supporting the little guy as he/she pushes up the ranks of your guild/group/faction.
Now that is not to say the life of a MMO gamer is an easy one. I mean where do you start...Take EverQuest II there are many many races to pick from:
There are the races that can fight for the side of good:
Dwarf
Fae
Froglok
Halfling
High Elf
Wood Elf
The races that can be Neutral:
Barbarian
Erudite
Gnome
Half Elf
Human
Kerra
Then there are the races that are fighting for the side of evil:
Arasai
Dark Elf
Iksar
Ogre
Ratonga
Sarnak
Troll
But then it does not end there once you have a chosen race that you want to pick as your avatar then you have to pick what you want that avatar to be in the game world:
First up is the Fighter class which in a round about way covers these classes:
Warrior
Berserker
Guardian
Crusader
Paladin
Shadowknight
Brawler
Monk
Bruiser
Then you have the Scout class which also has its own range:
Bard
Troubador
Dirge
Predator
Ranger
Assassin
Rogue
Swashbuckler
Brigand
There is also a Priest class which covers these classes:
Druid
Fury
Warden
Cleric
Templar
Inquisitor
Shaman
Mystic
Defiler
And last but by no means least we have the mage class which also has its fill in the roles:
Sorcerer
Wizard
Warlock
Summoner
Conjuror
Necromancer
Enchanter
Illusionist
Coercer
Then when you think you are done with all your chice the game in a nice way slaps you and says good sir would you like to pick from these Artisan classes. Which can be taken along side the other classes.
These ranged from:
Craftsman
Carpenter
Provisioner
Woodworker
Outfitter
Weaponsmith
Armorsmith
Tailor
Scholar
Alchemist
Jeweler
Sage
Tinkerer
Adorner
So you can see above this game called EverQuest II realy gives the player alot of choice in what they want to be and what role they want to play in that gaming world.
