EverQuest is a 3D MMORPG that has been running continuously for 25 years now, since its initial launch on March 16, 1999. The game started with 84 characters created on the first day, and those characters are still active to this day.
If we count the days of service, EverQuest has been running for 9,132 days. The longest-playing character in the game, named Kiith, has been playing for 8,331 days. The most popular class in the game is the Warrior, and the most popular race is the Human. Currently, the game is available on 24 servers, reflecting its enduring popularity.
Daybreak is offering in-game bonuses to all players, increasing the experience gained by 50% until April 1, along with granting the Royal Silver Crown in-game item to characters.
EverQuest is operated by Daybreak Game Company, formerly known as Sony Online Entertainment. The company released EverQuest II in 2004, and both games have been running simultaneously without any server closures.
However, EverQuest is not the longest-running online game. That title belongs to Tibia and Ultima Online, which have been operating since 1997 and are still running today. Tibia, being the older of the two, was launched earlier in the same year.
TLDR: EverQuest, a 3D MMORPG, has been in service for 25 years with 84 original characters, popular classes and races, and ongoing bonuses for players. It is not the longest-running online game, but it remains popular alongside other long-standing titles like Tibia and Ultima Online.
