Not exactly. Everquest forces you to stand around a lot more than others do. It's a really stupid way to try and "extend" the game's actual playing time. Most RPGs allow for the charater's health and magic to regenerate while moving. EQ forces you to stand still waiting.... waiting... waiting... it's annoying and a waste of time. On the PC or a console it's not much of an issue, but when you're on a PPC with limited battery life it's not so much fun now is it?
