Your dream expansion set

[Reiker]

Don't just shoehorn LDON in because "it had casual content" because that expansion was horrible. It was like EQ meets Diablo II. And what made it worse was that everyone was required to spend 10 hours a day running the same 20 minute, boring as fuck dungeon to get necessary spells/augs.

It was actually the casual players who suffered, because the rewards were designed around hardcore raiders who could clear Hards with maximum efficiency receiving their shiny new aggro aug in a week. Whereas it'd take your average joe barely being able to clear Normals in the time limit a month to get the same reward.

Only LoY (the worst EverQuest expansion of all time) was a worse idea.

Actually, I can't disagree about a lot that LoY brought in.

But.. what I liked about it - was simple... The zones. Unlike many other expansions they were releasing, it was just straight up non-instanced zones.

LDoN would have been a lot cooler if the add dungeons were more like guk and such - I do agree.

There were 0 instanced zones when LoY was released...

Classic -> Velious + Bazzar and PoP

Velious will always be my favorite expansion, I loved the dragon lore and the sleeper. The raids, the loosening of the stranglehold certain guilds had on every raid mob in the previous expansions. It opened the game up for me.

I hated every single tiny detail about Luclin *except* for the bazzar. I liked the ease of buying/selling without sitting in EC for hours and hours spamming a macro auction. Granted some people like that , but what a huge waste of time .. oh and F**K Vex Thal, and your key quest.

PoP was another ground breaking raiding expansion, and the last one I enjoyed. After killing the gods of EQ, the game should have been over, or Veeshan should have come down and blown everything to kingdom come... something like that. EQ was exit stage left after that expansion.
