People tend to have rose-tinted glasses for games from their past. Velious was the beginning of the end for EverQuest greatness - it made 90% of old content and itemization obsolete and trivial, while relegated everyone to 60-man zerg raids and faction grinds (how fun!!).

On SZ, PVP effectively ceased after the release of Velious. PVP imbalances from Kunark were only exacerbated.
