this doesn't apply just to a warrior, but to entire raid force.
There is a tremendous difference in +hp and +mana between ornate geared caster and VT geared caster.
I had a full ornate druid on live, and Judgment set from VT was a HUGE upgrade for me when I got it.

And what can you tell me about him other than the fact that he's an earth elemental...

The creatures in the Hole are there because of Erudite magics more than likely. I don't know of any connection between the Erudites and The Rathe.

The Plane of Underfoot is not the same as Vegarlson, the Earthen Badlands.

After doing some more research maybe Having the zone to the Plane of Earth be some sort of temple in teh Rathe Mountains or Lake Rathetier would make the most sense:

The huge cave beneath the lake might be a nice spot to have the portal in.

Of course, like all the upper planes, a key quest of some sort from the lower planes would be in order.

What about adding horses? Not classic, but a part of Luclin I did like.

Horses removed medding. They also required those god awful Luclin models.
/topic

RUINING my classic experience! Grrrr!!

Kidding. Not a bad idea!

considering at lev 30 you no longer required to stare into a book to med, think of this as next upgrade to casters - you no longer required to sit.
make horse require like lev 50+ to use.
And don't forget that horses don't work in dungeons.

as far as luclin models go, well you will be the one without a horse :p

Well I don't know about horses. This thread is more about how you would fit the Planes of Power in to the original Everquest trilogy while avoiding Luclin and the Planes of Knowledge/Tranquility.

Since horses aren't for sale outside of those places anyway it's a moot point.

you do realize that you can place a horse merchant in umm.. Qeynos, in like 15 seconds? ;)

All looks really good I just have to speak out against this...

"For the Planes that are located within the older planes (Fear, Hate, Sky, Growth) zoning in to the next zone would be a one way ticket. This makes it not possible to use this zone line as an easy way to clear agro and jump right back in. Also the zone line to the second Plane would be somewhat deep in the zone, requiring you to clear your way to torment from Hate (unless the zone was already cleared). Whether or not you need to have killed Inny to be flagged for Torment remains in question (I could care less either way)."

Specificly the bold letters. Please don't make people clear some one elses content. Some issues I have with flagging like that is back flagging. Back flagging Cock blocks the heck out of lower tier guilds. put a small quest in that requires 1 key per group, or makes a responable non loot droping boss for flagging individual players.
