* [[Bottomless Bladder]]: Played straight for players. Not always so true for NPCs. |

* [[Breast Plate]]: Mainly averted. EQ is generally quite realistic about armor for female characters. The female half-elf model in leather armor, however, plays this one completely straight, as do many of the cloth armor sets. EQ got its reputation for filling the [[Breast Plate]] trope because characters without armor quite literally run around in their underwear, and because most of the advertising of the game consists of the skimpily dressed Firiona Vie. |

* [[Canon |
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: In terms of the lore and history behind the world of Norrath, things are split up into two categories. First is that anything actually found inside [[Ever Quest]], [[Ever Quest]] 2 (up to a certain point in time for it's own storyline with [[Ever Quest]]), and [[Ever Quest]] Online Adventures is official canon to the games. There's also the tabletop Pen & Paper versions of the games, which have much more detailed stories and lore, but aren't considered canon unless it's also covered in the game. |

* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: ''EverQuest 1'' was such a success that they took all the money from it and used that to create many new games (EQ2 was just one of them), rather than improve ''EverQuest''. They mostly all failed. It's pretty obvious that the management has no regard for the original ''EverQuest'' other than to milk it dry. |
