Comparable in many ways, Valheim and Everquest

While playing Valheim, I'm often reminded of the long past great game of Everquest. Arguably the first and still best MMORPG. Yes, I know of the great Project1999 and EQ fans should look it up. Gaming with consequences is so fun.

  • Corpse run, the run back into certain danger without any gear and often in the dark. Also super stressful, prone to tears and so rewarding when done right.

  • Agro and trains, the long trail of monsters chasing you down endlessly until your death or escape with a bit of luck.

  • Splitting mobs, the act of inching your distance a step at a time towards a group of monsters in the hope of getting one to chase you, to be dispatched easily or train, see above.

  • Lost experience at death, the most important reason to not die.

  • Zone progression and tireless equipment grind to ready for the boss fights. Not unique to the two games I know but still.

What other games does Valheim remind you of?
