Unlike the original EverQuest, Lords of EverQuest is fundamentally a single player game, and after the initial payment for the software, does not require a recurring monthly fee in order to play.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[1] IGN reviewer Tom McNamara praised its multiplayer experience, but overall considered the game mediocre and decried it for focusing heavily on uninteresting combat fueled by only a single resource.[9] The developer, Rapid Eye Entertainment, closed down after the release of the game.
