All of Velious, that expansion was incredible. I remember taking the boat to Iceclad for the first time and getting to the Gnome camp then grouping outside ToFS. Then onward across Eastern Wastes to The Great Divide. How cool was it to run under the giant spires for the first time while avoiding Giants and their direwolves? When I saw the glowing creek and followed it through the waterfall to discover Thurgadin I was completely hooked on that expansion.

I feel exactly the same way. For my all time favorite gaming content, I have Final Fantasy Tactics and EQ's Shards of Velious in interchangeable #1 and #2 slots.
Oddly enough, EverQuest and Final Fantasy Tactics were side by side in Game Informer's 200 Greatest Games of All Time list (numbers 43 and 44 I believe).
I had monitored eqclassic.org for a few years hoping they could recreate vanilla EQ. When I learned of this place, that vanilla was live, and that the plan was to go through Velious...
Mm. Happy dwarf. Happy dwarf indeed.
