BiC was brutal.. but it was nice because you could get a really beastly aug without raiding, and then keep upgrading it as you did the raids. By the end of the expansion after getting the Tunat piece, that thing was better than pretty much anything until Serpent Spine.

That quest in it's entirety in current content was harder than any of the Epic 1.5 and 2.0's.

BiC was super brutal, and I agree that it was much much harder than any epic quest. What made it worse for non-raiders was that GoD basically made knights and shaman/druids worthless due to the difficulty of the content. Even after the nerf, most casuals could not do any of the useful content.

This said, BiC kept a lot of people busy for a long time! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Frogloks were an awesome race id agree, any chance on including them?

Awfully high poly count next to old models.

Force Krup models, lol.

you can already turn on luclin models as is, so not exactly game breaking.

I thought they had them somehow disabled here, but I'd never turn them on to find out.

I'd just reset the server after 2 years of velious. The cycle would be.

1.5 years of classic.
1.5 years of kunark.
2 Years of velious.
Reset the server, delete the characters/transfer them to the red server or something like that and start over from classic.

Diablo 2 uses a system similar than this and its fun.

Random points I can think of off the top of my head.

The Good: Caster Dps and Druid/Sham healing viability, Beastlord, Ssra, Acrylia Caverns, Greig's End

Frequently Misunderstood or Poorly Executed: AA's, random mid-high lvl zones with little
incentive to visit, Vah Shir, Grimling Wars, Sanctus Seru, Nexus

The Bad: Majority of Luclin models, Horses, Bazaar, Paludal Caverns, Vex Thal,

I also really really really do not understand the hate on vah shir, especially considering how much love the other animalistic races get... I mean, catmen are no more stupid than frog, dog, or rat people, all of which we have atm.

Their lore made sense (weird shit happens on Norrath) and they did not have shoddy attack animations like iksar, or complete over the top casting animations like froglok.

From what I have gathered, this hate on vah shir (and at least half of the general SoL hate) is 100% irrational and is almost always people just trying to find one more reason to hate on a expansion that helped destroy their vision of EQ.

The rationale was very good.

If a race can be a warrior and a druid, they could also be a ranger.

Some with necro+war (SK) and cleric + war (Pal).
