What is this massive damage books did? The entire point was to filter everyone into the new content. I really don't get it. Were you hanging out in Lower Guk during PoP killing the same frogloks you were in 1999? LDoN gave me instant groups instead of waiting around for 3 hours on a list somewhere to maybe possibly get the chance @ some exp. It gave me the shot @ getting loot via the point system so I always felt like I was progressing, but did it in a way that required that very large amount of time that EQ is famous for. It gave me hard modes to challenge me, etc. I don't get it, some people think sitting in Guk killing 5 mobs an hour was the pinnacle of EverQuest or something.

Huh? How did the books funnel people into new content? PoP was 46+.
What it did was enable every race/class to bind in PoK and have near instant access to any part of the world.
Yeah, it was nice for my alts, but it also killed part of the 'soul' of the game. If you don't see how negating travel and druid/wizard ports completely did that, then there's no point in this conversation.
I don't know why I have to keep repeating myself here - these are features we all used, the point is being able to acknowledge the detrimental impacts on the game they had.
