So kunark was a 94 ford taurus and Velious was a ferarri 360?

The Taurus was a pretty decent car; that's no Taurus. That's a Tempo actually...I know because I crashed the Mercury version (Topaz) when I was a teenager. Ford built 'em from about '84 or so until '94. I Look back on that crash as a sort of community service, taking one of those pieces of garbage off the road. Nobody minded much, not even the car's owner. As noted, that car was an absolute piece of trash in every respect: small, uncomfortable, underpowered, equipped with an obsolete 3-speed transaxle, and curiously inefficient--for having a pitiful 96 horsepower, it only made a bit over 20 MPG. Rolling rubbish like that explains a lot about why the domestic builders found themselves in their current predicament.
Given that reality, the original poster's opinion of the early EQ expansions must be quite low! Not quite "Ford Festiva" low, perhaps, but low nonetheless.
My own take on Everquest expansions is that EQ got a little worse with each one. I liked the pre-expansion game best, then Kunark a little less, Velious a little less than that, and so forth. Eventually it declined enough that I no longer considered it worth paying for.
As a side note, that Mercury isn't the worst car I've driven, either; a distinction which belongs to a '78 Oldsmobile.
