Actually I have the same feeling now as when I first played in 99. So you are wrong. The key is play untwinked and un powerleveled.
Good for you! You sure told me what for. Get em, tiger.

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.
I always think about an emu server tue to PoP minus books. Man o man that would be great!

I just don't get it. If you're level 60+ then what difference do the books make? It's not like you're going to be traveling to nektulos, you're going to be in PoP.

Hate to break it to you but in velious the old world will be empty also, with the exception of possibly ec.

Look at Rathe mountains, the mysterious named creatures like petrifin.. look at lavastorm mountains, two dragons, in love and separated by fire and ice.

look at the once great Najina, with its trampled doors and festering corpses hanging from hooks in the endless prisons guarded by dark elf wizards studding the dark arts, visit the foreign quarter of Nerriak and see the ogres trying to make a go of it selling jewlry to the narcissistic elves at Shiny Tings, pop in for a drink at the bar by the lake in the commons, see the leatherfoot raider spies swimming by the windows at the waterline.

look at Qyenos, the clock towers, the NPC dwarves that hang out at the bars and get in fights with the other patrons by the docs. Look at the karanas, the majestically great farmer filled karanas.

Qeynos hills, visit the forest city of Surefall Glade, where you can begin a quest delivering mail as a bard across the world of norrath.

That wonder of what is on any of the myrad of islands you pass by as you travel to the mainland city of Freeport to begin your adventures as an elf or a dwarf.

The dark thermagotists in Befallen, the lizards of Cazic Thule trying to summon the dark lord for thier bidding, the snow capped Everfrost peeks where Karg Ice bear wanders...

It is endless, the depth and detail of pre-kunark EQ.. it was about your imagination and for exploration.. it wasn't about gameplay and min maxing or pixels.. it was a magical time.

Classic EQ pre kunark is by far the best EQ ever created.

As if you needed all that, when all you need is to just look at this SS.

You sure do bring a compelling arguement to the table. I still will always say PoP, but my god now I want to run around all OG EQ zones and just play!

Failpost due to no mention of Gfay, unrest or CB... =P

I suppose with all these expacs Sony has ruined their own lands ruined lands.

Would be really cool if they launched the new server with correct timeline and went on to do a Luclin/PoP server for this server.

So many $$$ for PoP.

PoP + PoK = No Bueno
PoP - PoK = Bueno
