Pre-kunark is the best EQ hands down.. Seriously just look at any of it, look at HHK, look at Castle Mistmoore, look at Lower Guk.. a city of end game frogs under the feet of lost club wielding trolls looking for their diaper wearing corpses floating in the bubbling swamp.
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.
