Trying to keep my interest in the game alive, how is Velious?

[Pringles]

Not that they have to, but just curious if the devs given any sort of "status" update on where they are at with Velious? I catch little tidbits here and there that shows they are working on it, but havent seen anything beyond that. I am curious if we are 1 year out, 2+ years out? months out? Nothing can be definitive of course, but it would be exciting to know where it stands.... and *if* its really going to happen.

I've said this to p99 players that never played live: I am so jealous of you Hagglebaron.

You are in for such a treat and it will all be brand-spanking new to you. I envy that. I wish that I could look upon p99 with no foreknowledge.

Man... you really are in for a treat. If you were happy with EQ up through Kunark, then you are going to fall in LOVE with Velious. In my opinion, it is the single best expansion to any online game I have ever played. (Limited resume: EQ, WoW, EQ2, Guild Wars)

There's something of a disclaimer with Velious: It's primarily a raiding-based expansion. If you don't like raiding Velious will seem fairly mediocre compared to Kunark. There's no level cap increase and not very many new group dungeons. Most of the best solo/small group money camps remain in Kunark. Nonetheless, it's still more content--albeit a somewhat limited amount of it--designed in the same style as the earlier expansion. In short, if you like the game already, you'll like Velious too.

Maybe it only seems primarily raiding-based if you've done it before...I totally don't agree that the content is 'limited'...there's TONS of new content. It's true there isn't much of a level cap increase, so if huge increases in player power are your yardstick then yeah its limited that way. But..Velks, tower of FS, Kael, Skyshrine, Thurgadin, WW, Cobalt Scar, Siron's Grotto, Dragon Necropolis, to name a few all have cash camps of some sort...plus tons of outdoor stuff, plus unique encounters like the war in GD and so forth. I dunno, all I can say is that it doesn't seem limited or raiding only to me. Just opinion of course.

Given the love that Kedge gets on this server, I expect to see plenty of people in SG.

Wow, always hated pulling in that zone. But a very exciting place and some nice loot.

Surprised nobody has menioned the Tower of Frozen Shadow yet - great fun in there on live - and for clothies/non-tanks with good memories, there's an excellent spot in there to max your defense skill [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
