So what's there to do in Velious anyway?

With that attitude, you probably wont have much fun when Velious hits.

Velious was a great expansion when it was released. It added a certain epic feel to the game. The nostalgia and rekindling of old memories are where the value mainly lies.

I didn't mean to say it with an attitude, much more with a tone of curiosity. I see how it looked coming out, but what I really wanted to know was what features it has. For instance I like how it adds Kerafyrm as an unkillable boss, that just boils my blood that they made something impossible, but I respect it as well. I just wanted to know what else there is to do since leveling isn't a key aspect like in Kunark.

I also didn't mean to say that you had an attitude [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] only that you cannot look at Velious as just a gear hunt. Or expect there to be a lot of changes. Because there wasn't. The Scars of Velious expansion introduced immersion at a level never seen before. While they certainly did add gear, Lore, fantastical zones (if you can look past low resolution textures, even today they should allow a certain level of awe when exploring them), Epic quest lines that require a lot of time and effort in all areas of everquest... the list goes on. They added something for everyone. You can complete most of these epic quest lines (ring war comes to mind) without a huge "poopsock" guild. Back in the day, if you were ready to start the ring war... all you did was advertise when and where you were going to start it and people came. It was just something for everyone to get involved with, regardless of guild ties.

All levels and play styles had something to do with Velious. It was just, fun and filled with stuff to check out.
