tofs and thurgadin = best zones of the entire eq game imo.

HOW could this possibly be offensive to people who engage in poopsocking?


Btw, pretty much agree with you, other than the fact that you thought perhaps Luclin shouldn't be included in "everything else" maybe- kinda- somewhat... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


for what it's worth the EQ expansions were all planned from the start, even Luclin, but players gained more influence as $ony whipped verant into a money-driven monster. People don't have a clue what they want.

Personally I think the first 3 expantions were gold, and everything after that went down hill. I enjoyed Luclin for a few simple facts...

1. The bazaar made trade soooooooo much easier, rather than having to spend a lot of time in EC tunnels trying to buy and sell junk. Just leave your computer on over night and come back with your junk sold for you.

2. The introduction of the AA system was amazing, really gave you something else to do in order for character improvement.

3. Horses were a nice touch allowing for faster travel, and not having to sit down to meditate reducing mob agro when sat.

4. Character models were nice for the people that enjoyed them, and if you didn't just simply turn them off.

5. A lot of great raid content like SSRA, and VT. Believe it or not I actually enjoyed the process of getting keyed for VT.

6. The Nexus was great, made travel easier but didn't overdue it like PoP's instant travel to anywhere.

The list goes on but you get the idea, would be great if p99 stopped on Luclin. :P

It progressed from a Taurus to a Ferrari.

The Taurus was a pretty decent car; that's no Taurus. That's a Tempo actually...I know because I crashed the Mercury version (Topaz) when I was a teenager. Ford built 'em from about '84 or so until '94. I Look back on that crash as a sort of community service, taking one of those pieces of garbage off the road. Nobody minded much, not even the car's owner. As noted, that car was an absolute piece of trash in every respect: small, uncomfortable, underpowered, equipped with an obsolete 3-speed transaxle, and curiously inefficient--for having a pitiful 96 horsepower, it only made a bit over 20 MPG. Rolling rubbish like that explains a lot about why the domestic builders found themselves in their current predicament.

Given that reality, the original poster's opinion of the early EQ expansions must be quite low! Not quite "Ford Festiva" low, perhaps, but low nonetheless.

My own take on Everquest expansions is that EQ got a little worse with each one. I liked the pre-expansion game best, then Kunark a little less, Velious a little less than that, and so forth. Eventually it declined enough that I no longer considered it worth paying for.

As a side note, that Mercury isn't the worst car I've driven, either; a distinction which belongs to a '78 Oldsmobile.
