The incredibly complex social systems available in Everquest and other MMOGs show how a game can become an unforgettable experience. Everquest is a game that gives players more than just a fun time, it teaches those who play it team work and cooperation in the form of in-game grouping. It allows players to build elite social hierarchies in the form of guilds where leadership and people management skills can be gained by those in charge and a sense of belonging and acceptance of social hierarchy can be acquired by members. Finally with the constantly evolving virtual world, players are given a chance to socially adapt to those around them. These valuable social skills are each learned everyday by means of Everquest and other MMOGs that offer such an entirely complex and interactive virtual gaming world. The next generation of video games has arrived with MMOGs like Everquest at the forefront. With video games being played online, they are now a social experience rather than a solitary hobby. The fact that companies like Sony Entertainment are promoting this socialization by coordinating events such as the Everquest Fan Faire proves that Everquest is more than anything else, a social experience.
