The Pinnacle of Everquest (In your opinion)

[mokfarg]

When do you believe Everquest reached it's pinnacle in design? When was it best? I have heard many opinions on the matter, which of course the question is opinion. I would like to see what the majorities opinion is.

Lol, before opening this thread, I knew 2 things;

1. Daldaen would be the first to post.

2. He was going to say PoP.

Seeing LDoN as an option here makes my eyes bleed.

I'm curious why anyone who voted for PoP would not vote for LoY instead? It's the exact same thing except a few neat new zones, extra bank slots, maps and armor dye no?

Maybe I am remembering wrong.

Armor dye was interesting, the extra bank slots were ok, and the 'few neat zones' sucked. LoY wasn't even close to PoP in terms of storyplay, raiding, or spell changes.

The only part I didn't like about PoP was how useless ports became. Kind of took from the social atmosphere a hefty amount of player to player interaction.

Dyes ruined armor prestige, maps ruined muh immersion, bank slots were convenient but I kind of like bullshit in my MMORPGs. But I LOVED the LoY zones. Fucking dulaks harbor was horrifying and the secret underground fishperson cult was straight out of Lovecraft's "Shadow of Innsmouth."
