Hate- LFay.. Does anybody ever actually leave the wall that leads to either MM, or Gfay? Furthest i went from the zone wall was to find the fancy Unicorn for Epic.

Love- Steamfont Mountains- Always a special place in my heart for my first toon ever. Haha side note- Never killed a single thing in that zone since joining P99...

Favorite zone: Plane of Mischief. Home zone. Praising Bristlebane most! Am his humble pirate Puppet nows and always. Funny layout most; charmable animals with funny names. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Worst zone: Sebilis. Encourages of tedious min-max for random drops hour afters hour. Yawn. Elfmans sit all day killing trash, hopings maybe frogmans drop rare thingers. Frogmans never does.

Favorite -- Mistmoore. MM gets a ton of shit because it's part of the "standard" leveling path, but it has everything. Gargoyles, dark brooding themes, torture areas, a spawling castle that I bet 90% of P99 hasn't even seen all of. I have a ton of nostalgia for the zone too, having leveled there on live.

Least Favorite -- Kedge Keep. Someone else already said it, but by Tunare that piece of watery trash is awful.

Maybe too hard to list one..

Fav zones: Old Sebilis, Gfay/Kelethin, Lake of Ill Omens

Worst zone: Dagnor's Cauldron. This zone is just bad. I like aqua goblins as much as the next guy but come on.
Why do I have to run for 12 minutes just to get out of the corridor you zone into. Also good luck in that zone without Levi

It's not just DC, I always thought many EQ tunnels were made long on purpose, as a timesink. Off of the top of head, this also applies to Neriak and FV.

Yeah not surprising. After watching those Pantheon streams, and listening to them talk about the medding situation, and how there will still be downtime for medding, which they do on purpose to engage in planning, conversations, and all that good stuff that comes with communicating [You must be logged in to view images.

I can't imagine they knew it would used as a player run trading area..

I think there are a lot of places where the original EQ devs left room to add stuff in the future. The tunnels to FV seem like a perfect example of that to me: they'd be a great place to stick a random quest NPC. There's also tons of empty houses in cities, giant (relatively) empty zones like the Karanas, etc. I'm sure some of it was just to "make the world feel big", but some of it really feels to me like it was purposefully left "blank" so it could be filled-in later.

Unfortunately after they built the zones it seems everyone was more interested in creating new zones than going back and adding to the old ones (stuff like the Luclin-era Qeynos badge quests were relatively rare) ... but I suppose that leaves plenty of space for custom content someday (maybe) [You must be logged in to view images.

Idk man....people whining about big old zones, having to run, and the fact that it takes time to get places...That's one of the reasons EQ is great imo. Maximum immersion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
