Considering that only 1 guild still to this day ever beat that expansion before the one after it was released, I'd say they had reason to bitch about it.

Valid point.

But nobody killed the Sleeper during Velious
Nobody finished Sky during classic.
I'm pretty sure nobody finished Time before LoY (could be wrong about this).

Just a personal preference here but I for one enjoy the mystique that "unbeatable content" brings to a game.

Uqua alone was tougher than anything EQ had ever come out with it up to that point and that wasn't even very far into the expansion. You needed tons of people for GoD raids, you needed them extremely decked out in at least PoTime gear, and you needed to actually pay attention on raids and have skilled players or you were done. I still remember that Ikkinz raid(I think) where you had to have certain arch types or classes get the kill shots. Man it was great when it was cleric.

Sounds pretty badass!



Now I read about how EQ has the exact opposite problem. All content is beaten within a few weeks of the expansion going live. I could be wrong about this as I'm just reading about it but that's what it sounds like.
