Is this related to Everquest in any way?

No, Everspace is a space MMO/flight-sim.  Kind of like a combination of Wing Commander/X-Wing, and EVE Online.

Everquest is a big fantasy MMO from the late '90s/early '00s, the predecessor to games like World of Warcraft.

^ I mean, yes....I know that, but are they from the same company.  Is it like Everquest in space?  They are both MMOs, no???

No, they are not.

Saying "they're both MMOs" is basically like saying "Madden is pretty much just NBA2K on grass, right? They're both sports games where you use a ball to score points." In fact, that actually undersells the comparison; the games are radically different.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if this is

Madden:NBA2K

or if it's

NFL2K:NBA2K

That's... two of the same comparison.  Madden and NFL2K were as similar as two random years of Madden.

Another comparison would be Grand Theft Auto Online and Among Us.  Both are online games in which people die.  They aren't at all similar games.

Sorry, I don't come here everyday anymore and I haven't been paying attention since I have been playing a lot.

MMORPG stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game which means that you play in a persistent world with a lot of other people. Everquest is an MMORPG.

Everspace is not a multiplayer game, it's a single player game that I would call an ARPG which stands for action role playing game. The role playing part of the 2 games is similar, but there's not a lot of similarities beyond that. One is a futuristic space setting, the other is a Gothic setting. One is mostly about questing where the other is mostly about dogfighting with spaceships.

My mistake!  I hadn't realized Everspace 2 is a strictly single-player game.  Sorry, Dave.
