EverQuest Going Free to Play
Yes…everyone knows that World of Warcraft is the most successful MMO ever created; but let’s not forget that it was Sony’s EverQuest that started it all. Released back in 1997, EverQuest gave gamers their first taste of what a fully fleshed-out MMO could be, bringing millions of players around the world together to quest online–and now, you’ll be able to experience the game without a monthly subscription fee.

You know your company is successful when your brand name becomes synonymous with the product–and Zippo is a perfect example. For years, Zippo’s line of windproof lighters have been one of the coolest gadgets to keep in your pocket–and as a non-smoker I can tell you that Zippos have multiple uses (anyone who goes camping will vouch for this) and always seem to come in handy.
