On tonight's episode of Game Makers (ICONS), we take a look back at the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game 'EverQuest' and bonus content with 'EverQuest II.'

Be advised the original version of this episode aired on 07.07.02; however, this was a NEW version that G4 created in 2005, after the release EverQuest II, featuring edited footage and graphics not seen in the original airing, along with all new end-of-episode commentary.

If you are interested in watching the original episode, other channels have uploaded that version to Youtube.

NOTE - Although an original G4 launch series, prior to the fifth season of "Icons" it was re-tooled for a more broader audience, moving away from video games to instead focus on celebrities and pop-culture *icons.* The previous four seasons were then rebranded as "Game Makers" to distance them from the new image and viewership G4 was aiming for.

It did not work.

The new iteration, much like the ill-fated reboot of "Filter," was abandoned and the series was cancelled after a single season; however, edited episodes of the original four seasons continued to air sporadically through the summer of 2008.

This is one of those episodes, recorded in 2006 (with commercials).
