A lot of truth in this... people underestimate ntov & AoW mobs were cleric mana actually becomes an issue due to length of the fights.

As to what I am looking forward to in velious.. just like original & kunark I am looking forward to learning the content from an adult perspective. I think I fall into the same category a lot of others here do, when I played originally I was 12/13/14 years old ish and I am constantly amazed now at my lack of understanding of the game.

My live experience of velious was basically sitting in velks lab leveling with scattered runs to kael to farm armor and a handful of tov armor farming runs mixed in... also lots of time spent with my computer removed from my room due to getting in trouble with parents =P Most of my velious raiding experience was as a spectator or tagging along with friends since I kept getting left behind every time i got grounded lol.

Luclin is where I quit and to echo what Tecmos said, the reason I didn't like those later expansions was because they emptied out the 'old world' content. Lguk, solb, seb all empty. It is something that happens in almost every mmo that exists long term and it sucks... it also leads to popularity of these 'classic' servers though. Maybe if I was a more advanced player when Luclin came out I would have enjoyed it more. I think the AA thing was one of the better mechanics for a game because I am the type of player that generally sticks to one char and maxes them out vs having 5 million alts. At the same time AA start to build a barrier where all of a sudden you could be a new lvl 60 but compared to a level 60 with 300 aa points you are a noob still. I also hated the bazaar.
