EverQuest is an online massive multiplayer roleplaying game. EverQuest was developed from the MUD (Multi User Dungeon/Multi User Dimensions) of the 1990s Internet, which in turn developed the Infocom/Zork-like text adventure games of the 1980s.

EverQuest has a rich graphical environment. One can create multiple characters and choose from many races (three flavors of elves, several flavors of human, cat people, lizard people, gnomes, ogres, trolls, halflings, etc.), and many classes. Besides destroying monsters, one can develop tradeskills and learn tailoring, smithing, baking, pottery, and so on. The game is very time-consuming for many people.

The game needs (needs, or has??) its own twelve-step program. The game is humorously known as "EverCrack for its addictive properties.

The game is sold by Verant Interactive and Sony Online. One must pay for the game initially for the software, and then a monthly fee.
