Kedge Keep, Cazic-Thule, Sebilis, City of Mist, and the entire continent of Velious.

Loved ToV in Velious and Seb / KC in Kunark

Kael really is a fun zone. The Traknon run from the prep spot was also really cool, very epic event the first time you do it.

old world newbie zones : Steamfont Mountains and Butcherblock were so nifty 1-10.. great spread of mobs and different types to kill.

In BB you had basilisks. .goblins, skellies.. chessboard, peg leg, aqua goblins..

In Steamfont you had newbie areas.. Windmills with pumas and higher undead... undead camps everywhere. kobold camps for humanoid loot.. mino caves!.. area in front of mino caves to get you to level 10+..

Just well thought out and designed zones all over.. very dynamic.

Favorite classic XP area was Cazic Thule. Always broke my heart it was never quite right on this server with the crazy Zaxis mob healing and pathing. Should have been a mad rush for rubicite instead of level 50 rogues and mages and shamans backtracking to it. Some of my fondest memories on live was XPing in Cazic with my portable baking spit, making lizard-on-a-stick as fresh as possible.

Lower guk (both sides) was a shining example of what EQ classic could have been like had anyone had the foresight EQ would be the hit it was and actually had the high-end content to support the early end game.

Which brings us to kunark... Which they were prepared for.. It's when EQ got really open-ended.. Overthere.. Skyfire.. Traks Teeth, Burning Woods. Dreads. Outdoor zones all over. Dungeon crawls in Karnors, Seb, HS, Chardok, Droga, Nurga, CoM, Kurns, etc. Epic encounters.. Outdoor dragons. There was literally always something going on and something to do. My favorite part about kunark was all of it, really. It recaptured that "newness" magic of racing for that first backpack and cracked staff on day one of launch.

It's going to be fun. :)

Favorite place in 1999: Everfrost/QH - How many times did I roll/reroll a Barbarian when I was 13?

Favorite new place on P1999: CT or Highkeep Basement; somehow I never managed to set foot in these places for more than a few minutes back in the day. Lots of good times.

Old World- Oasis of Marr. I know outside zones arent popular, but it just reminds me more of why I play the game. Tons of people to group with, wide open landscape, full of activity and fun to be had.

Kunark- Everything. But since I have to narrow it down, Field of Bone/Kurn's Tower. The two of them go hand and hand to me. Had so many classic battles while learning the ropes of EQ back in 2000 in these zones. Single handedly built my all Iksar guild be recruiting 99% of my players here. Just a special place to be.

Velious- Dragon Necropolis, reminded me of an advanced version of the Field of Bone, lol.

Classic: sol a -- I just love the zone. the traps and secret passages gave it character
Kunark: seb, hands down my favorite eq experience. Crawling down deep was so much fun, but it was also really dangerous. Especially if you couldn't gate.
Velious: hmmm... dunno, maybe tov.

misty thicket wall guards. fifth?

Favourite old world - East commonlands :D Traders unite.

Kunark - Sebilis obv. Also fond of dreadlands / karnors

Velious - Kael, love charming giants, then the boss fights with tormax, statue / aow are fun :D Also loved the armour quests in velious.
