Where did EQ Live go wrong?

Luclin was when things started to go wrong. I guess the teleporting in those 4 areas was okay, because you still had to a wait a while and it was only those 4 places. But including the bazaar was a bad idea, and the worst part was that there was no pvp in the Nexus or the bazaar. The new graphics were bad for some races (short races), and not too terrible for others, but their introduction meant that no one would ever get cool and unique armors like in Velious ever again. I really liked the vah shir, and the beastlord class; don't really get the whole "Omg cats on the moon is so dumb!" argument.


PoP is where everything but the raiding scene died. Instant ports in every city, to a zone where pvp was disallowed. Just terrible.

They were suppose to re-do the Velios textures using Luclin engine, and the point of a new engine was : ability to add new texture faster, easier and in great quantity, per official SOE statement.. Which they never did of course=)

PoP was the gold era of EQ raiding - it improved raiding 10000% No more tank and spank fights, and plenty of targets to choose from even for non uber guilds.
