So what's there to do in Velious anyway?
 

All I ever hear is this big hype for Velious, and I can see why considering current content might be stale for those that have been here from the beginning, but what's so special about velious anyway? I came into eq right at the launch of Luclin, so all the knowledge I have of velious are a couple of zones that I hunted in for a level or two. To my knowledge it doesn't add any levels.... If that's the case what is Velious other than a gear hunt?

One of my most precious memories from EQ was the event for the "ring war".

This video doesn't do it any justice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoMogwxgw-0

With that attitude, you probably wont have much fun when Velious hits.

Velious was a great expansion when it was released. It added a certain epic feel to the game. The nostalgia and rekindling of old memories are where the value mainly lies.

Velious was the pinnacle of classic EverQuest. Luclin pretty much shat on all that. If you liked and preferred Luclin, you're not going to like Velious much.

I didn't mean to say it with an attitude, much more with a tone of curiosity. I see how it looked coming out, but what I really wanted to know was what features it has. For instance I like how it adds Kerafyrm as an unkillable boss, that just boils my blood that they made something impossible, but I respect it as well. I just wanted to know what else there is to do since leveling isn't a key aspect like in Kunark.

I do like Luclin, but I say that because it was all that I knew, I watched my friends and parents play classic EQ from day 1 but I never had the time to ctually get into myself until Luclin launched.

Rangers get panic animal.

Lol, better start rolling out the red carpet for the worst class in the game for two xpacs in a row. It's almost a shame that we won't see Luclin, if I remember correctly that's when rangers get mean as shit with AA's.

velious added more dragons. nerds love dragons

Dragons are interesting. On doing some research about siding with the dragons I looked into their "city" and the bitch looks like a death maze. Do you actually need to traverse that thing to get the quests that their faction offers? If so I think I'll take my chances with the dwarves.
