So what did Velious bring?

Defiant armor was WAY later, Plane of Knowledge was in the PLANES of power expansion, Mounts were a Luclin expansion thing.

Velious added tons of content.

1. haste clicky mask AWESOME!
2. Kael, SS, ToV...DRAGONS galore!
3. Sleeper???!!!
4. Lots and lots of gear that was awesome.
5. Much better crafting items
6. How about a damage shield clicky ring?????
7. It is probably one of the best expansions EQ has put out as far as amount of game content.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of Raiding content!

The only thing I remember from Velious was farming ToV trash for armor tokens for a year.

You were in the wrong guild then.

Yeah so much more in Velious if you played it during its release, obviously as expansions progress there was less and less need for the expansion. But, for the time, it was loaded with amazing content, faction armor, 1,000s of quests, cool new graphics and monsters, I want to see it come to P1999, but tbh I want to level up a couple toons to 60 first, although there is plenty of content for almost all levels.

Such shit.

You guys whine about a long Kunark because it means tons of people have pixels. But then in the same breath you whine about how hardcore players are going to stop you from having Velious pixels.

What do you want? Do you want a classic experience, where 90+% of us NEVER have a BFG, NEVER have an eyepatch, don't complete quested armor sets until Velious is almost over? Or do you want a custom server where mechanics let you get the pixels you think you are entitled to? You can't have both.


Seriously. It's like the top thread on the forums is "waahhhhh, i can't join a group on my alt without someone having a fungi! RUINING MY IMMERSION WITH ALL THESE EXTRA KUNARK PIXELS" and then the next thread is "waahhhh, Velious is gonna suck because the staff won't put ground drops on rotation! RUINING MY IMMERSION BY NOT GIVING ME PIXELS THAT I NEVER EVEN HAD ON LIVE ANYWAYS"

I'm not even an OFFICER in A-Team (you should know that's too much responsibility for me!); my words are my own and nothing more [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Seems odd that there would be so many guides you can find out there about how to get to PoM if it weren't possible for anyone except a necro/cleric/bard with an extra idol. What's that DA clicky that comes with Velious, too? It has multiple charges iirc, but can't remember if it was class specific or not.

Found it - part of last step of ringwar, I think? http://wiki.project1999.com/Earring_of_the_Frozen_Skull

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVYn8OR1qc - doesn't look like bard speed, and he only uses one DA. What am I missing?

Very competitive server. Our guild was stuck in a loop gearing people who eventually jumped ship to the elite guilds. NToV was always a bitchfest between half a dozen or more guilds. Oh the joys of open world content.
