Does the original Everquest still require a monthly subscription?

Question

Does Everquest still have a monthly fee? What are the exact details on it?

(I tried to Google this, but kept getting back EQ2 news about it going free and nothing about EQ1)

Answer

Yes, it costs about $15 per month (Outside the US, you'll have to check with Sony) to play the original Everquest. They recently released their 18th expansion in November, 2011. New players get one month free.

I believe the monthly charge is the same across several Sony MMOs, supposedly including:

EverQuest, EverQuest II, EverQuest Mac, EverQuest Online Adventures, Vanguard, and PlanetSide

Although as you note, EQ2 is free to play, so this knowledgebase article is probably out of date ;)

You can also pick up an All Access Pass for a few dollars more a month, which includes access to several of Sony's MMOs for a single monthly charge.
