So if you want to travel from North Karana to Dreadlands you have to wait 0-15 minutes to port to the nexus, let's assume a 7.5 min average. Then once in the Nexus you must wait another 15 min for the ports to recycle and send people down.

Total trip time from North Karana to Dreadlands, 22.5 minute average. Most people on this server get frustrated if they can't find a port within 5 minutes.

Nexus travel is really a non-issue. It's just another form of boats. Long wait time to minimal destinations.

Daldaen is exactly correct here. Nexus was cool because it was like boats and the TD firepot room (minus the retarded "you can bind in the firepot room because casters aren't yet overpowered enough, but only for the first couple days of the expansion" bit.) Boiats + firepots (+ nexus) mean you can get around on your own, but if you've got a wizard or druid friend you can get around 10x faster.

(The best part of PoP launch was all the crying about not getting the 10-15pp porters expected back then. PoK and the books was incredibly stupid, but that had nothing to with anybody's sense of entitlement over port fees and everything to do with reducing the value of port classes in groups.)

Except for agreeing with another poster whining about the nexus, this is 100% correct. I would gladly wave goodbye to all 6 of my OT hammers if they were removed from p99 entirely.

I have a friend that hated planes of power. He felt it dumb that after reaching peak power in mortal realms you were sent back to square 1 to kill planar large rats in justice, innovation and disease. Looking back, I am not sure I disagree with him.

luclin broke eq pvp beyond how broken it already was

Yeah, no. Unless you want most of the population to magically disappear, no.

Change my mind. Yeah i know brad/aradune left, but eventually I'd love a server to just let us play up to Luclin.

It already exists you know.

p2002 is a thing.

Some player models were good. The animations were not.

Iksar got upgraded 100000%, and everything else sucked :D

BLASPHEMY

PoP was the pinnacle of EQ in my opinion.
TAKP and P2002 both are heading for luclin soon and eventually PoP. One is well run with knowledgeable, fair and even-handed devs, attention to era and a friendly population, and one has none of those things.
Or stay here if that's not your thing, nothing beats p99 in that era.

Wow, uhh, no. Iksar are among the worst. The animations are so stiff and wooden.
