All of Velious, that expansion was incredible. I remember taking the boat to Iceclad for the first time and getting to the Gnome camp then grouping outside ToFS. Then onward across Eastern Wastes to The Great Divide. How cool was it to run under the giant spires for the first time while avoiding Giants and their direwolves? When I saw the glowing creek and followed it through the waterfall to discover Thurgadin I was completely hooked on that expansion.

I feel exactly the same way. For my all time favorite gaming content, I have Final Fantasy Tactics and EQ's Shards of Velious in interchangeable #1 and #2 slots.

Oddly enough, EverQuest and Final Fantasy Tactics were side by side in Game Informer's 200 Greatest Games of All Time list (numbers 43 and 44 I believe).

I had monitored eqclassic.org for a few years hoping they could recreate vanilla EQ. When I learned of this place, that vanilla was live, and that the plan was to go through Velious...

Mm. Happy dwarf. Happy dwarf indeed.

I was a hardcore FFT player. I figured out that I could dupe Excaliburs, have four dual-excalibur-wielding knights with move+3, blade grasp, and monk side skills, and one black mage (with all white mage/oracle/etc skills which could be used with calc) with master calc side skills and an insane amount of spell damage gear (along with a chameleon robe to absorb holy dmg).

The first move of every fight thereafter was either CT 4 holy or CT 3 holy. It would literally kill every single opponent on the map and heal all of mine.

So ridiculous.

Gosh, now I want to play again.

Dragon Necropolis was a bitching place to xp at. Hope that ain't too much of a wood elf hipster thing to say.

For classic it's Crushbone.
For Kunark it's a tie between HS and OS. With Chardok a close second.
For Velious it's a tie between ToFS and Crystal Caverns.

Classic - Lavastorm Mountains, no really, I like running there at night with the eerie music
Kunark - City of Mist, cause its kewl
Velious - Temple of Veeshan

Kedge and South Karana are my favorite places in the whole wide world.

Live side misses out on the lguk love. Definitely an underrated section of the zone.

Oh I definitely prefer dead side. And I was about to make a hipster live side meme and post it here, but the site is nonresponsive... :P
