I think you mean Griegs End, and that was one of the better zones in Luclin.
Mobs would randomly turn you into different monsters, and you'd hear tons of strange audio files like children crying, insane laughter, etc.
I dunno, felt like you were being drawn into Greigs nightmare.
Also the Deep was kinda neat as a zone.. huge illusionary bridge and falling to your death in a chasam..
There was only one big crime in Luclin, and that was the Cat People. They did not belong up there at all, should of just turned Kerra Island into a noob city for the cats, Odus could of used the extra fleshing out anyways.
Acryllia Caverns was pretty unique too, just recently we have dropped some bosses in Acryllia Caverns and done some ring events there that have not been done on any server, ever (as soon after PoP timeframe that zone was redone and all those old rings and items/npcs were changed). Pretty hard ring events at that, think Corinav of Water type hard, we have no idea how lvl 60's were supposed to do them. Maybe with a 90 man zerg.
Point is.. Luclin seemed like "crap" because it came right after the masterpiece that was Velious. Truth is, it was not that bad at all.
Im telling you all, it was PLANE OF KNOWLEDGE that was the true turning point in EQ. The book of classic EQ was closed the moment PoK opened up. I think this EMU would be perfect if it went up to Planes of Power, minus plane of knowlege. Just have the book in Nexus teleport you straight to Plane of Tranquility and call it a day.
