I'll always consider Release -> Velious the 'classic' era.

With the release of Luclin you added too much 'stuff' (content?). The Bazaar & Nexus, a new class, a new race, horses, AA abilities, new graphics engine, UI Interface and of course the dreaded player models. Don't get me wrong, these aren't necessarily bad additions, but it just seemed to be the expansion that set EQ on a different course. While I still spent most of my time in Kunark/Velious, I didn't mind the Luclin expansion. I really enjoyed PoP's style of tiered content. After PoP the game seemed to run out of original ideas and became dull and unplayable.

I'm sure many would disagree, but thats just my take on the Classic vs. Live argument.
