My Opinion on EQ expansions.

[Ridiuz]

Personally I think the first 3 expantions were gold, and everything after that went down hill. I enjoyed Luclin for a few simple facts...

1. The bazaar made trade soooooooo much easier, rather than having to spend a lot of time in EC tunnels trying to buy and sell junk. Just leave your computer on over night and come back with your junk sold for you.

2. The introduction of the AA system was amazing, really gave you something else to do in order for character improvement.

3. Horses were a nice touch allowing for faster travel, and not having to sit down to meditate reducing mob agro when sat.

4. Character models were nice for the people that enjoyed them, and if you didn't just simply turn them off.

5. A lot of great raid content like SSRA, and VT. Believe it or not I actually enjoyed the process of getting keyed for VT.

6. The Nexus was great, made travel easier but didn't overdue it like PoP's instant travel to anywhere.

The list goes on but you get the idea, would be great if p99 stopped on Luclin. :P

Any type of auction system will destroy what EC Tunnel is. it takes away skill to the economy and just makes it an easy search then undercut system.

This is one thing I liked.. AA's fixed some class (ranger) and made some WAY over powered (wiz) done right it would have been great. Overall the AA's were a welcome addition once fixed.

3. Horses were a nice touch allowing for faster travel, and not having to sit down to meditate reducing mob agro when sat.
Trivialized SOW buffs. Didnt add anything

4. Character models were nice for the people that enjoyed them, and if you didn't just simply turn them off.
This is one of the worst things that came from Luclin. Horrible horrible models. Horrible animations.

5. A lot of great raid content like SSRA, and VT. Believe it or not I actually enjoyed the process of getting keyed for VT.
one of the most tedious things EQ ever had in it and you enjoyed it? This a troll attempt?

6. The Nexus was great, made travel easier but didn't overdue it like PoP's instant travel to anywhere.
Again trivialized porting classes and travel buffs. Easy is not Good. Easy is what ruined EQ. EZ is why you are here and not playing WoW.

horses really didnt trivialize sow, sure some were as fast as sow and some as fast as selos, but they were very situational, they took forever to speed up and slow down, 9 out of 10 people on fennin just used them for mana regen and being able to cast w/o sitting and standing constantly.
