Didn't like that expac.... But well pirates! Yaar !

You and everyone else. Or if they did like it, they liked it for all the non-content stuff: LoY gave us armor dyes, shared bank slot, Frogloks, something other than a horse to ride on, etc.

But SOE screwed up the content part. They basically made what should have been the sequel to Velious, but made it as the sequel to PoP. Almost every zone in LoY was for P99/classic levels (ie. 60 and under).

Now true there was MUDflation, so a level 60 in LoY had much better gear than we have, and true the final zone in the expansion was for higher level characters, and would need to be tuned down a little (or converted into more of a raid zone or something) here ...

... but really LoY was way, way closer to classic Everquest than either of the expansions before it. It was set on Norath, filled with classic mobs like ogres and trolls, had mostly classic level ranges, etc. Basically it was just "more old school zones, but pirate themed!"

That was exactly what a bunch of 100-AA point-having level 65s from PoP didn't want ... which is why the expansion isn't remembered fondly by most players ... and it's exactly why I'd love to see some version of it here.

We could all suffer through skinny pirate troll models (maybe pirate trolls have poor nutrition?) if it meant getting five official (well, semi-official, but customized to P99) classic-ish zones to level in ... right?
