Kicking the trolls out of Grobb and sending them to live with the Dark Elves?

I have started and stopped playing EQ on live servers many times over the years since first joining in autumn 1999. One of the times I returned was actually to start playing a froglok wizard (which I loved and stuck with after that).

For me the last truly good expansion was Seeds of Destruction(SoD) which tied up most (if not all) of the loose GoD and OoW Lore ends. The entire Discord element finally made sense (to me at least).

So I finally stopped raiding altogether halfway through the Underfoot expansion (that came after SoD), since I simply couldn't stomach many of new WoWified silly looking NPC graphics - and the Lore was attrocious also (and imo that only got worse in the following expansions).

In retrospect I suppose that the introduction of all the random dropping Defiant armor/weapons sometimes during Secrets of Faydwer(which came before SoD) was a pretty major nail in the coffin as far as content that wasn't of current endgame level goes.

These days I can't see myself ever returning to the live servers - not even for their TLP servers(which is a concept that I really like otherwise) - since EQlive simply no longer looks or plays anything like the EQ I loved and want to play.
