PoK was incredible. It's the best mobilizing zone for any group or raid to go out and adventure. PoK books let you take the adventuring into your own hands.

Nexus is really such a non issue I find it hilarious people include it. You do realize that nexus only provides transport between 5 zones, on a 15min recharge, meaning your trips typically have 15 minute travel time for a North Karana to Greater Faydark port. Most P99 players would revolt if their porter took 15 minutes to port them between those locations.

Bazaar again incredible, sell while you sleep, pay and get what you want, never have to deal with low ballers, hagglers or resellers.

Vah Shir, yea they look dumb. Whatever.

What are the aliens but a different version of a goblin or a ghoul.

I don't understand the bazaar hate. Yes people sold while afk but I also remember tons of people treating the bazaar just like EC.

On my servers, that attitude didn't last long. Some hagglers held out a while, but it just became "the way" to afk sell.

I missed the one-on-one interaction of a trade.

Yes the one on one trading we have now is nice but I loved the fact that I could go to the bazaar search to see if anyone is selling the item I want. I have spent days on p99 trying to buy an item waiting around EC or trying to use the forums.

My favorite expansion and the peak of EQ felt like PoP to me. So much to do, so many items, so many raids, solo/group/money making/questing potential. Improvements to AA's and mudflation was still manageable.

SoL would be my next favorite. Yes, boohoo fast travel and the bazaar but they made the game more playable. No one that isn't a poopsocker likes sitting around in EC in the dead of night with 30 people online as people try to high ball things with low trade volume, my interactions have consisted of offering .85 - .90 of the list price and meeting someone at T1, no exceptions except staring at chat for 4 hours as nothing I need is listed in between bone chip and spiderling silk spam. The bazaar felt more like an actual market even if social interaction suffered. Fast travel was already trivialized with the existence of dial-a-port except for a few out of the way places in Kunark or Velious (which were still a PITA to run with PoK books). AA's were an amazing addition to the game.

What came next was unabashed garbage except Lost Dungeons which I enjoyed.

I think the low population might be the most objective argument against further expansions.

No, the most objective argument is that Luclin and PoP were shit and killed the game world.

You have an extremely artificial notion of the game. PoK books ruin adventure and the feeling of the world, plus an aspect of social interaction. This isn't fucking Star-Trek-with-Raids. The game is supposed to be a LOTR-esque world. Nexus is a similar problem, although I'd be okay with an NPC Wizard teleporter at a few of the spires (North Karana, Faydark, Dreadlands) who teleports to a different spire every 10 minutes, with a level 30 requirement to use it and needing to pay something for it.

Bazaar cuts out social interaction. You're not supposed to be able to play the game while you sleep. The game isn't supposed to be about just going from fucking point A to point B and farming. It's supposed to place you in a world that is dangerous and alive, where you need to journey and engage in local communities. Not just solo hop all around the world, unless you are specifically a class with that ability who has gotten to a high enough level to do so.
