At level 85 with 5000 AA's this doesn't even stun me. =(

Yeah, quite the encounter. It's a shame it's fallen so far, but that's the way things go in MMOs.

I first did AOW when we were 60, and those 1100 quads + frenzy absolutely terrified me. My palms were sweating. I was just a recruit for the #2 guild on the server; and they had yet to log an AoW kill. That was their first, that night.

Years later, I returned with some guildmates. We were all from a post-Uqua guild (gates of discord) at 65 with a few hundred aa's a piece. Perhaps 15 of us, with a few alts in their 40's and 50's waiting to pick up some loot. One of my proudest moments when I became the first non-warrior (paladin) on the server to tank the fight. Wasn't particularly hard with 12000hp, but I still was fairly pleased.

Still one of my favorite encounters of all time. In it's era, that AoW delivered a whallop that there just wasn't gear to reliably handle. Even 4 expansions later it was a multi-group encounter. Not many mobs that can say that.

There was a certain charm to going back to old content by yourself or with a buddy and beating it [You must be logged in to view images.

You have to admit the staying power of EQ, though. It's taken a long time for people to be able to solo ancient content, while in WoW, people are already able to solo original world stuff. Now there's some mudflation for you.

[Slugs]

Lots of things happen like that nowadays. Clerics are beasts at soloing.

Kind of makes you wonder what it takes to wipe a normal exp group in EQ these days.

I would like to think that the potions he was using are very expensive and/or involve rare ingredients? Or is that not the case?
