The fact GoD is in the poll, but not Omens of War?
OoW was the best expansion released since velious.
It had excellent group and casual play, real accessible progression for armour and epics for casuals, and an extremely well scaling couple of dungeons and XP zones.
Raid wise OoW was a game changer from anything prior in EQ. It had the mystery of old EQ feel where you felt scared and alone, an excellently designed raid scene with properly intelligent trials etc. A tiered access system that worked wonderfully and a SHITLOAD of 6 man content to be done. Endgame raiding was sensational with a trash kill to boss dungeon (anguish), properly difficult strategic fights (not just 1 round AoW style shit) and proper risk v reward with very little patching needed or changing loots.
GoD by comparison was an absolute fuckup and should never have been released.
Omens of War, and the beginning days of velious and mid-late luclin were the three times I loved the game the most. Exploring velious zones, those crazy races through Ssra temple, and late night MPG trial runs in pugs...epic
