Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of Richardson’s Rubicon. I’m John Richardson, and this season is about EverQuest.
I’ve been back in classic Norrath on Project 1999 (Green), and in this episode I’m sharing what that return actually feels like: the early mistakes, the surprise dangers in “familiar” zones, and the small wins that make EQ hit differently from modern games. I’ll also touch on my original time on Venril Sathir and what’s changed for me coming back now, then move into my current run with a half-elf druid starting out around Butcherblock.
If you play EverQuest or Project 1999 and you fancy a chat on the podcast, get in touch. Veteran or beginner, I’m interested in the stories that only EQ produces: the recoveries, the corpse runs, the weird community moments, and the lessons you learn the hard way.
Key points
EverQuest focus: Season 2 is dedicated to classic EverQuest, especially Project 1999.
Come on the show: If you’ve got experiences worth sharing, let’s record a conversation.
Bring your tales: Epic wins, avoidable disasters, levelling tips, community stories, anything that captures why EQ still matters.
