Though, there is a lot that I look back on that doesn't make sense ^^

Yep scrollback was before GoD, don't remember exactly which expansion but i definitely remember using that view when i was playing.

Focus items were amazing. In some cases, a crappy mage summoned ring with mana conservation was worth using over an expensive ring. In velious we'll get FT on only a couple rare items. People are gonna lose their shit over Golden Leaf Earring from Tunare.

People view Luclin as "the beginning of the end" for EQ when it's the opposite. Classic/Kunark/Velious is the strong foundation, Luclin and PoP made the game feel complete. In my opinion, instanced dungeons and raids is the cut-off point between "classic" and "modern" EQ or MMOs as a whole.

Added functionality and improvements don't ruin a game, they make it better, and that's what Luclin and PoP were. "Oh no, druids can be main healers and wizards can do acceptable dps in groups, this sucks" said no one ever.

There's a reason why a lot of people say that PoP was the golden age of everquest. It's because it was, and it was glorious.
