I always felt that they screwed up the continent of Odus by not adding any true mid-high level content at launch.

By the time the Hole was released everyone was already set in their ways on where to level up on classic content and Kunark was already out too. That continent is so underused it's kind of sad.

(Yes they tried to make it right again years later and I guess they somewhat succeeded with still more zones and more zone connections to newer content. But that just proves my point that it was a huge mistake in the first place that needed to be remedied.)

I mostly agree. If you start as an erudite and play through it you hit a dead end. It's sad.

Doesn't Kithicor slowly incline a bit and then some more at the end? It's certainly not as dramatic as EK.

Runneyeye is actually a fair bit higher than RV in MT. Also when you enter the gorge from EK, you go way down the ramp - Makes little sense overall.

I loved Odus, but think it was always a deserted island. The Kerrans do drop lots of goodies though, gems n money.

One of the things that bugged me until they fixed it was the "tell" you got from an NPC when you cast a damaging spell on them:

A spiderling tells you "I was hit for 10 points of non-melee damage."

No one thought to clean that up in beta? I cannot imagine it was difficult to fix.

"I am the god of fear, wrathful and immensely powerful. I will confine myself to a small grass field, decorated with Halloween lawn ornaments I picked up at Walmart and a couple inexplicable pieces of architecture. I created entire races of beings that populate Norrath, but choose to hang out with zombies all day. Am I holding this sword right?"
