About Return to Norrath: An EverQuest Legends Podcast
Join your host, Tony, as he rekindles his love of the classic massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG), EverQuest, through an exploration of the newest EverQuest experience, EverQuest Legends!
Equal parts nostalgia and adventure, it's time for all of us...to Return to Norrath!
If you've been playing EverQuest Legends for any length of time, you've probably heard a lot about the bard, both positives and negatives. Some people claim the class is broken, while others suggest that it's one of the most fun classes in the entire game...so, which is it? Well, up to this point, I hadn't had an opportunity to tune up my lute and give it a go myself, but over the past week, I finally gave the bard a shot. Listen in and I'll tell you all about my bardic adventures, while also going over some of my wishlist items as it relates to Nektropos Castle, which releases in just a few short days. I can't wait!

This week, we address the negativity that seems to be pervading the EQ Legends community, with many complaints about the pace of content releases and seemingly dwindling server populations. I'll provide my perspective on all of the naysaying, before pivoting to discuss how I continue to have fun with the game each and every day, with this episode's focus being my most recent experiment - the tank-less, chanter-less Ranger / Shaman / Rogue! Can this combo actually clear end-game D4 content? Listen in and find out!
