ever quest doesn't workFollow

I have never played ever quest and I don't even know if this is in the right forum since I see an ever quest 1 and 2. I was at a game shop and saw a couple of ever quest games and saw that they looked to be similar to diablo and champions return to arms. They were 5 bucks each and had all the discs. I installed the first one which is called ever quest evolution. It is installed but when I try to play it says "patching ever quest" at the top and says connecting... After that goes on for a bit it says "Could not establish a connection. Check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com. I do have internet and can play my diablo game and all other games just fine. I noticed the back of the box says 2003. Is this game too old and the server no longer works? Or should I email this eqtech? 13 year old games might not have the same help available. Also there is a key code on the box whichim guessing I may need to use.

diablo and champions return to arms

Those two games are very different from Everquest. EQ is pretty much a non-instanced MMO built around a DnD ruleset. You may find this to be interesting, too.
