For least favorites, I would say a lot of Kunark's outdoor zones. I definitely like the expansion but there were a lot of generic jungles and no new music. It just didn't compare to the more imaginative places in Faydwer and Antonica.

This.

I don't get the hate for solb that someone else said though. It's rather easy to navigate. Especially to go to FGs, I don't get how people can't learn that. It's basically straight, left at the T (bats) then take the 2nd right.

Live side guk though? I always get lost there.

I'll never forget the time when I ran through Trakanons Teeth with guildies, following (being guided by more like) these massive pillars half way across the zone. On through the ruins of Sebilis flanked by huge statues of Iksar who seemed to be kneeling in reverence, I couldn't help but stop and stare at all the ruins with strange carvings on the walls.

This is something EQ did really well. It made you feel insignificant, and a stranger in a strange land. The devs did a great job of conveying a sense of history and intrigue, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Trakanons Teeth. That sense of scale and foreshadowing before entering Old Sebilis is genius and it really struck a chord with me.

When I clicked on the stone to go into Seb, I just kept thinking "oh god what I getting myself into here".
