1.) Neriak, the entire city. I was a big fan of R.A. Salvatore and the dark elf books by the time EQ cameout and my first dark elf explored the city to the badass music. To this day still one of my favorite zone(s).
2.) Kelethin has such a relaxing nature feel and the perfect music.
3.) The tavern in highkeep, amazing water view inside a tavern, pretty unique.
4.) Eruds Crossing - Always felt this was a "secret zone" back on live I guess because I almost never made a qeynos/erudite starting character. Anyway, loved farming GLS here for XP/plat. Amazing music, tropical feel, secluded.
5.) Kunark era, mostly an ugly continent, isnt it? If I had to pick a visually impressive area in Kunark it would be Fironia Vie, the ships were impressive and the city was pretty cool, decent surrounding terrain.
6.) Velious is pretty drab exterior wise, Crystal Caverns is my favorite zone besides icewell castle(amazing music).

yeah Eruds got my vote.

Speaking of nerriak and taverns. Little halflings swimming around the underwater view from the nerriak tavern is so cool.

The way the necro guild had the ghouls guarding, was so honest to god incredible to me first time I played. Ghouls for the first 3 months of my game were some godlike super preditor that must at all costs be avoided, but being able to have them as my guardian as a llittle necro boi was so empowering and immersive

I started playing during Kunark so Field of Bone + Kurns are top.

Loved Qeynos and Erud's Crossing as well.

On PvP server it was Kerra Isle. No one liked fighting casters so it was mostly empty and a good spot to EXP and you typically gear for resists for PvP.

Also, Paludal Caverns and Icewell Keep due to finding 2 cool exploits there. Also PC was just a cool zone to exp in.

Oh great point The sewer in Qeynos I finally learned to prep for green and leveled there day 1, was fantastic. I think i had like 200plat and level 9, HP rings and earings, and a couple other nice items from there i cant remember at the end of day one!

Damn that was fun green was cool.

The lore in that zone is cool, the bertoxx necros and the wandering NPCs all add some cool mystery to the game.

Qeycat sets the standard. It is such a fully realised zone.

I just researched a little bit on the continent of Kunark and I decided that The Dreadlands is my favorite zone in the entire game.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Dreadlands

Does anyone know if The Dreadlands is a desert? What else would it be? It has sand like territory but in the wiki it doesn't mention anything of a desert.

Is it on the equator?

Good place to set up a film studio, you have the castle, snow, forest, deserts, greenery, you got it all!

I just loved the Desert of the Knaaren in Rayman 3 and I just realized The Dreadlands from the Knaaren exist in EverQuest too and both The Knaaren and The Iksar are enormous in size. They are actually very similar, terrifying to other races and brutal. Except that The Knaaren live underground in darkness under a desert in a tunnel, while The Iksar have more affinity with water and are very good swimmers.

Still, I do like my deserts and I chose Iksar as my race in P99. I think The Dreadlands is my favorite zone in the entire game. It's also a desert I mean it has sand like terrain/ground in some places, I don't know why wiki doesn't call it a desert, what else would it be?
