How much of EQ have you never seen?

[Bruman]

I was thinking about it, and there's tons of zones I've never even stepped in, or just barely been through once. Not even counting cities for races I've never played, in vanilla alone:

Never been in / only stepped right inside, never really hunted in:
Najena
Runnyeye
Kedge Keep

Barely been in:
Cazic-Thule (none this go-round, previously I had do some exp'ing at the zone in, and going through it to get to Fear)
Permafrost (none this go-around, previously just to get a quest item, never killed Vox)
Splitpaw (none originally, did some exp'ing there one night in the middle of it with a group)
Odus in general - I've ran through it for a quest, never been in The Hole or Warrens, although those dungeons were added later I believe?

Missed half of:
Mistmoore - never even been up to the castle
Unrest - Never been past the ground floor

Are other people's experiences the same? I'd love to go back and at least check the zones out at some point.

[ereur]

You really need to go see all of The Hole when its released.

[Messianic]

The hole was a really awesome dungeon...Will be cool when it's released here.

[Mardur]

If we're only talking classic, then 0%

The Hole is awesome and huge and dangerous. Check it out!

[baalzy]

In classic/Kunark I've never:

Been on the continent of Odus.

Been to Unrest, Mistmoore, Anywhere nearer to Qeynos/Hallas then NK. Gorge of Xorbb, PoSky.



Some of these places I visited later in Live, during Seeds where I had a lvl 83 Shaman box & a 76 Ranger with mercs.

[Zakaton]

I've missed Veeshan's Peak, and Sky. I've hit everything else in classic and Kunark, though there are large chunks of various zones I haven't seen. I've never done an old world dragon raid.

[karsten]

i've never been to dalnir, kurns tower, or tofs...i think that's it for up to velious though

[soup]

Of the stuff out right now, I've never stepped foot in Najena, Chardok, Howling Stones, and Veeshan's Peak. Kaesora and Nurga I've like zoned in for a sec then back out.

Pretty much everything else I am very familiar with though.

[Metric Ton]

Gorge of King Xorbb, PoSky, VP, and Kerra Isle.

[Vonkaar]

Y'all could go log on the EZ-Server and have a level 70 with the most ridiculous gear in about 3 hours... then check out pretty much all of that content.

I'm just sayin... if it's about viewing content and all =p.


For me - I felt like I knew everything about EQ back when I played in 99 through 01. I could help people out with most any epic quest, navigate anyone to any bank... help with tough faction questions. I answered all price-checks because I had my finger on the pulse of the economy.

So when I came back to EQ 6 months ago in Project 1999, I figured it would be like riding a bike. Some stuff was easy... Rivervale and Kelethin were no problem. Freeport and Qeynos were trickier but I figured it out in short order. Then I started looking at quests and some of the more obscure zones. Kerra Isle? Seriously? I went in that zone and I had absolutely no recollection of the place. It felt weird... like maybe I wasn't as EQ savvy as I thought I was. Maybe there was more out there than I realized. Long story short - yeah, I basically don't know shit about Kerra Isle & Paineel and honestly... Cabilis. I never really cared so much about the Iksar so I hardly know that city.

[Bodeanicus]

i've never been to dalnir, kurns tower, or tofs...i think that's it for up to velious though

Tower of Frozen Shadow is very cool. Lived in that zone back in the day.

[EvilMallet]

Well, I was about 6-7 when my parents let me play EQ for the first time, I think in the month that I played before my child-like attention span broke I explored a large part of Odus, knew EC like the back of my hand, and stayed away from the tunnel because it made me lag. >.>

A couple years after, about Luclin time, I got to experience the joy of getting my SK trapped in the bandit caverns at the very end with no food or drink and a disease that was about to kill me. Had to have my dad pay for a wizard to come and pick me up.

[Sharkeye]

I have never been to kedge (despite my ec tunnel weaps). I would have never seen kerra isle if it wasn't for Project M back in the day, I spawned as some dude in a cage.

[quellren]

I had never been to Surefall Glade until P99.
I've been up to the upper reaches of CoM only once, for the shaman epic.
I've only been to the 'City Proper' in the Hole, then straight to High Scale Kirn, also for shaman Epic.
I've never been inside VP, Sleeper's Tomb, or Dragon Necropolis.
I've been to Cobalt Scar and Sirens Grotto only on PEQ.

Other than that, I've been to every other zone enough to say I did more than just pass through.

[Sharrd]

I hunted the same things with almost every character and made way too many alts back in the day so there is alot of stuff I never got to explore. When I first thought of coming back my initial wish was to do the paladin sword quests while they were still relevant and a challenge. Then I got on and made a mage because I was worried about finding groups being new post kunark release.

Before p99 I had never really bothered with Lavastorm, Najena (although now I've used it for the mystic quest and hunted mages for my torch. Need to go back and get the rest of them), or either sol outside of a random rushdown with the guild to get somebody a piece for the Bard epic I believe. Did some exp grinding there tonight, would love to get a named camp and plan to go back.

The rest is a long list of zones I never bothered with that I wish I had. Kedge is a big deal for me, I really want to experience this zone. Went in and died today, but thats ok, I'll figure it out. In fact, if anyone who hasn't really explored it wants to give it a go, I'm down. Of course, I'm only 39.

I recently did some Cazic, enough to say I've hunted there. Mostly just mage focus hunting a spawn I don't even remember. I would like to go back there as well so I'll probably eventually twink a rogue or SK.

Mostly the things I want to do now that I'm back are raids. I didn't do enough of the plains and I never killed Inny. I want to do a real raid on Vox and Naggy. I would love to see Sky. I never did any of the highest Kunark dungeons but I don't know if I have the time for the heavy keying that seems to be required. Will probably try to put in the effort to get to do the sleeper though, as much grinding, tradeskilling, and gearing up I'll need to do. That just seemed like one of the most epic wins.

[Masq]

I'll list the zones I've BEEN to.

Kunark
- Cabilis
- Field of Bone
- Kurn Tower
- Lake of Ill Omen
- Firionia Vie


Vanilla
- Kelethin
- Greater Faydark
- Lesser Faydark
- Crushbone

- Oasis of Ro
- North/South Desert of Ro
- Innerthule Swamp
- Guk Top


I think thats about it.

[Humwawa]

I've spent at least a week of my life in real time in Dalnir...

That god damned Visceral Dagger quest for my first necro, then later for my SK's Greenmist - pure hell.

Crystal Caverns. I have never, ever been in that zone. I have no idea where it is, and as far as I know, I don't care too much.

[Edzilla]

In Kunark/Classic I have not been to Veeshan's peak or Veksar. And up until I started playing p99, never been to kedge keep. And I never want to go again :P

[Troy]

Never seen most of it, RL kept me from playing EQ as much as I wanted to on live and has again on p99. I haven't logged on in months and might not for months more :shrug:

Just started lurking the forums again over the past day or two and much has changed since I last played! I think my 35 ranger might have SoW now, but all of my gear is probably worthless :lol:

[astuce999]

In original EQ, like most people, I got familiar with a few zones and always re-leveled new toons in those same zones. Much later on, when I was bored, I went and explored the rest of the world. It didn't have the same feel, since it was all so extremely trivial.

When I first started on p99, one of my main goals was that, this time around, I would hunt in all those zones I had never seen while they were worth something. It's been an amazing journey, and I can say that I've gotten xp in all of classic this time around, and I've made an iksar monk (first iksar, first monk ever for me) so that I can do the same with kunark. Most of the kunark zones I've hunted with my iksar have been for the first time.

I really recommend it, even if twinked, try to xp in zones you don't know like the back of your hand, it really captures the magic of original EQ instead of just being nostalgia.

Deep Paw is fun, kedge is amazing (although massive xp nerf sucks), MM castle is very well done, lower guk has all sorts of quirks both live and dead side, HHK lives up to the hype, runny eye is really creepy, perma is good times, just to name a few places I've taken the time to explore.

The best thing is to find like minded people, and I can say I've been lucky to find many. While I was leveling up, I was doing this so often that I would get tells "so where are we going to today?" from friends.

cheers!

[eqravenprince]

I've been inside every classic zone and hunted there, but very few did I attempt to see every room. Kunark, I spent the majority of my time in City of Mist. And Velious, most of time was spent in Crystal Caverns/Kael. See the trend, dungeons I can bind in =). I can't stand long corpse runs. So my answer is I've not experienced quite a few zones in Kunark and Velious, and some parts of zones of Classic

[hedbonker]

I have covered every section of every zone through Velious. And a number of the xpacs past that...

[Excision Rottun]

I have been from the window to the walls.




The sweat dripped off my balls.

[malroth69]

too many to name really, even on live when PoP hit I didn't go to many places I could have for the simple reason of not knowing how to get back there for my corpse lol. I know most of kunark zones with exception to the higher level zones. And I really only know of most of the starting zones and adjacent zones to those areas pretty much. I have done more exploring(cause I actually love to do that kind of stuff) since coming to p99 with my level 9 shammy, and most of the exploring I did with him was before 9 and sow lol.

[Mcbard]

I've never been to VP, or killed Aten in VT. I've seen everything else from classic - DoDH just not always during era. :)

[Otto]

I've been everywhere/remember the layouts everywhere in classic/kunark/velious...

I would say my knowledge of gorge of king xorbb/kerra isle/vp is pretty shaky though

[Barrier]

I've pretty much been everywhere except Plane of Growth. And I'm not too familiar with Plane of Mischief.
