Why must you limit it to two bad expansions

Kedge Keep definitely best classic zone. Wasn't even discovered for awhile and wasn't itemized for awhile longer. Tons of animals to charm. Underwater so it keeps away bad players. Great EXP and decent loots. Actually had a raid boss in the zone and the best thing about EQ is raid mobs, so the best zone has to have the best activity in the zone!
Reef of Coirnav probably best PoP zone for similar reasons. Underwater zones are incredible. Fantastic group camps/named, useful tradeskilled drops, a few different good mini raid named and Coirnav probably one of the best raid encounters in the expansion.
Need more purely underwater zones in EQ. Thalassius was a cop out.
