I was a barb running through Netherbien Cave (forget name of the zone) and someone says "Wow Barbs are good looking." Unfortunately, I shut off most models because my system would crawl. Was a GeForce 2, I think. In fact, it crawled even after disabling most of them, so I just went back to the old zones to get smooth framerate. Now imagine trying to run Luclin on my original system which was much slower and had a Voodoo 2. You wouldn't! Qeynos was a slideshow on it!

People forget I think how big of a system requirement jump it was from old zones to Luclin.

EDIT: I must have played during luclin launch because I made my longest lived character in late 2001 on SZ. 2001 was a big year for me in EQ. Is when I got the new system. I had barely played EQ after the first few months in 1999.
The was a section in Shar Vahl that would always make my pc chug, somewhere right in the middle with the fountain where it opens up.
