Dang worst zone is tough probably tox forest because it’s a noob zone with way less content than it should have so it makes me super sad

Most of the outdoor Kurnark zones... why the designers decided to make the zone lines so hidden, still makes me angry 20some years later.

Disagree on the hidden zonelines - it really contributes to the sense of exploring new frontiers, finding hidden mountain passes connecting lost valleys.
The really interesting thing is there seems to be some unused ones - i wonder whether there were simply forgotten to be activated, whether perhaps the connection got redesigned or there were entire zones which were never included.
One in particular is between OT and Cabilis in WW. Was that originally intended to be the line to LOIO or is there a missing zone there?

Plane of Hate. Walls should function as walls.

Some are fun and mysterious ... some are just terrible. Take Field of Bone to Emerald Jungle for instance: I get lost at least half the times I try to get from one zone to another. That's not "mysterious", that's just annoyingly bad game design.
Also, if we're talking "zone lines" in the more general sense, Kunark is horrible. If I can see an open space, I should be able to walk there! Every time I go to/from Firiona View from Lake of Ill Omen, and I run into invisible walls, it completely ruins the feeling of being in Norath and reminds me I'm in a (badly made) video game.

Stonebrunt is a cool zone. But that trival code stuff is garbage.

Gorge of Xobb could have been really cool, instead its the worst zone in the game

Worst zone in the game is kerra isle imo.
Shitty for the levels it has, the way the mobs are grouped, terrible loot, shit layout,
Like it was designed by cats for cats.

The map of kerra isle is pretty nice. I find it hard to rate it worst for that reason alone. It is almost entirely unused though, so by that metric it may be worst.

There are no bad zones on Teal.
The answer for me is without question Plane of Sky.
The concept is cool. How I jump off an island and land in freeports ocean is kinda cool....but that's it.
Corpsing keys to go from island to island is a pita, quests are pretty difficult for the shit tier loot (some exceptions to this, like ranger cloak) and the mobs you fight are not very interesting.
If the politics in the raid scene wasnt enough to deter people from raiding, plane of sky will seal the deal.

Stonebrunt.
Shit loot, hard to get to, too big and boring, uninteresting enemies and quests

Also gonna say plane of hate, but I don't know if I should blame players or devs.
In either case, "Hey guys lets go raid hate and all sit in the entrance for 5 hours" is not fun.

See this is why i like sky. You are forced to move and progress. You can’t so easily leap frog or skip trash. Those elements were good. The quests/quest room was pretty immersion breaking but was better than just ‘killboss, receive loot’.
It clearly was designed to be an impossible sump for the filthiest eq addicts.

Amen dude. Sky is really the only raid I would attend on a weekly basis cause of the set schedules of guilds I could plan my week around. And even after finally understanding all the wack shortcut strategies we would perform as a guild- I fucking hated it.
Only thing that would keep me attending, was to finish up my quests i had come to far to stop, and listen to Tpar absolutely lose his shit every week, and eventually log off, or fall off. I could do without the sound of him swimming in a room full of soda/beer cans tho..
