On the plus side. "Everquest" is a great place to preach the gospel. A simple zone wide chat message will attract many to ask questions about Jesus, or about Christianity.

I love how the reviewer talks about Everquest is such a gospel spreading tool. Like it's gonna drive some fat fuck out of his computer chair and into a church.

It's also funny about how he advises to play a non-magic using agnostic, so you don't go to hell.

I played everquest for over a year. The game is highly addictive, and I tried to overlook all the confrontations it created with being a Christian. After awhile I realized I was only fooling myself, I got in the game, gave everything I had to friends, cancelled my account and dumped the game. We as Christians shouldn't even touch games like these. I love the action, and graphic violence is really minimal, but the obvious sexism is bordering on perversion on part of the game designers and the fact that 90% of the characters you generate HAVE to choose a "god" is flat out the absolute worse thing in the game from this Christians perspective. The magic while colorful and one of the more fun things in the game, is still nothing less than occultism which Christians should not dabble with, not even in a game. As far as the in game chat, you have the option of completely ignoring up to 20 people, I was always advocating to get more ignore slots for the players, because if you are a Christian, you will fill 20 slots up incredibly fast. The out of game chat, is actually monitored at least 75% of the time, this is the only disagreement I have of your review, I suppose the threat you proposed is real in this area, but IMO only minimal. Anyways, when I look back at this game, I feel you may as well be playing D&D, because they are in essence the same thing. My Ratings: [1/5]
