The Pinnacle of Everquest (In your opinion)

[Malik_Gynax]

Excluding Ikkinz, Gates of Discord has my favorite raids. Great encounters in that expansion at the high end.

So for me it's Gates of Discord > Velious > Planes of Power.

The absolute only thing worth doing in GoD was obtaining BBoB's from Tacvi for your tanks.

It was tuned for 70+ and made irrelevant by the time people were 70 with OoW

[QUOTE=Swish;1719394]I'm definitely in the minority but I didn't enjoy Velious on live as much as Kunark, and I felt glad to get out of snow land and onto the moon. PoP was the golden era however /QUOTE]

Here, Here. I am the same way. Velious was not a favorite of mine. But I did enjoy soloing on my Ranger in it. Eyepatch of Plunder Quest. I loved it.

Became damn good on my Cleric in Velious which really helped in PoP. That expansion was Hard Mode.

I liked, and still play a Beastlord on live. Sort of the best of two classes to me. Hard to beat a Shaman Monk combo all rolled up in one. [You must be logged in to view images.

I guess its just semantics then, but I saw the question as the former and not the latter.

Anyways I voted for classic so F you all anyways! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Heh, well good reason to play P1999. I guess that is why most of us are here in reality. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Whenever it was still a game and not yet a job.

I hated the introduction of armor dyes. I love being able to tell just how bad ass someone is by looking at their visables / weapons.

[myriverse]

Through Kunark was great.

Only three things I liked about Velious: Velk's, ToFS, and Ring War. I hate whiteness and snow and dragons and giants. Blech.

Unashamedly, Luclin was tops for me. Except for the unfinished stuff, which I really couldn't have cared less about, the moon was awesome. And Vah Shir are the best looking race to ever be in EQ.

PoP had absolutely nothing to interest me.

Ykesha had lots to like. Frogs-- they're delicious. It's like watching the Food Network. Thumbs up. Enhancements and dyes and stuff. Thumbs up. Map was cool. Thumbs up. Though sucks for Trolls. Thumbs down.

LDoN had nothing for me.

GoD had Berserker class, which I enjoyed, but the rest was meh.

And that's when I gave up Norrath for the City of Heroes.

I loved hot pink ogres lol. I vote for Luclin, PoP, LDoN era as my favorites. LDoN was just great for finding a random party and the expansion was all dungeon roaming. I HATE camping stuff.

I am surprised so far so many have chosen PoP as the time the game as a whole it was at its best. The reason it surprises me is I guess first the purpose of this server and secondly how much of EQ at that point in time to me felt like a big hodgepodge of multiple games.

I personally felt Everquest without expansions was the pinnacle of Everquest. In my opinion the game felt cohesive and complete. Also to me it felt more about a gathering of friends, role play, and I hate this term that has recently been adopted but here I go "casual". The gear in the original was nice but didn't make you as a character.

Would be nice if there was a wealthy individual that loved Everquest and donated to the project 1999 folks to have a server for every expansion in Everquest. Instead of progression on one server after you had enough of a certain time in the game, you would be able to progress to another server with the next expansion. Certain goals in the previous server would have to be met to "unlock" the next one. Folks who loved a particular time in game, wouldn't have to go anywhere. I guess that could be done with multiple virtual servers, dockers or whatever. What a dream!
