True, weapons were both lacking in classic, and made pretty irrelevant with Kunark I wont disagree with that. But I'm the kinda guy that wished kunark was ratcheted down 5 levels and all the items reduced in power by about 25% so, it's not gonna take much to convince me that kunark was also too powerful.

It's just that compared to what you get with velious, it's not as powerful.

edit: wait, let me clarify [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] not as powerful, with regards to making earlier content irrelevant.

Even at lvl 60 with velious gear breaking into fear isnt trivial for instance. Theres power creep but it’s not as bad as the later expansions where toons could solo all the kunark and velious bosses.

good thing they revamped all the item's in that zone to make people want to go back, after the devs made it all irrelevant with velious's itemisation [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd consider pre-kunark planes a different phase to vanilla EQ. Itemisation of dragons, temple of sol ro and planes are things I consider separate to 'true' vanilla.

I like that actually, if kunark, and velious were cut up and spread out over the course of like twice or three times as many years, updated intermittently, I bet not only would they have had time to make each update even better but it would be like the rate that I think would have been cooler than just dropping a huge content dump every year.

This would work really well for Velious!

Start with iceclad, add tofs, then EW and CC to introduce the idea of abandoned dwarf explorers, then GD and Thurg to introduce the true velious dwarfs and the idea of their wars with the Giants. Then add the frost giant side of kael so people can pick a side...

Aaaah velious would be so much deeper like this!!
