You pick one of five characters, each tied to an EverQuest race and class: a Barbarian Warrior, an Erudite Wizard, a High Elf Cleric, a Wood Elf Ranger or a Dark Elf Shadow Knight. The campaign starts in the forests of Faydark, where an orc army threatens the elves, and later pushes toward a conflict with the god Innoruuk and the Plane of Hate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLoot, skills and four-player sessions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombat is fast, with a camera that follows the action from above.

Up to four players can play on one PS2 with a multitap, which is how many people remember it. The game also had online play through the PS2 network adapter, but those servers are no longer running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSaving your hero on a used copy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing covers the game disc, and the photo is representative.
