Duh
The nexus was a zone that was connected by the major wizard spire on each continent.

Dreadlands (Kunark), Toxxulia (Odus), North Karana (Antonica), Greater Faydark (Faydwer), Great Divide (Velious).

Players could hail an NPC Wizard and get a stone at each of these spires. If they stayed within the spires, every 15 minutes the wizard would AE Teleport the players holding said stone up to the Nexus.

When in the Nexus, again every 15 minutes the wizard NPCs in different corners of the zone would port you down to one of the specific spires listed above.

A player wishing to travel from say... Toxxulia to Greater Faydark would have an average of a 7.5 minute wait time to get ported to the Nexus and a further 15 minute wait time to get ported to GFay.

It just another boat system, that involves more sitting around and wizard NPCs. People just get all berged out like retards because it goes to wizard spires and OMG obsoleting porters. Idiots. No one wants to wait 20-30 minutes for a port, that's what the Nexus basically requires for you to travel between 5 select zones.

For me it was always Fungus Grove. Only like 10 Royal guards and I had awful luck. But that blows my mind DSP shards held up someone's key. That was almost always the first one I grabbed just because of how frequently the camp was taken and how many mobs dropped it/how AEable they were.

I'm only missing ME, FG, Grey, and Acrylia now. Dawnshroud shard was stupid easy and I scooped up the seru shard before our raids. FG and ME seem to be the worst.

On phinny are you competing for shard camps or do you get a new zone instance?

Jesus, this thread is still going? Seriously Sirken, just make VP no CSR again. Most of the people who were around during that period agree it was some of the most fun they've ever had in EQ. The content is old and trivial. Most of the loot is weak. The difficulty of attaining a key keeps most casuals out of the zone. It is literally the perfect situation to let the raid guilds take their frustrations out on each other.

The raid scene on this server has gotten so lame that bragging rights basically boil down to who was able to run to a mob first... no CSR VP would actually present an opportunity where raids would have to do more than wait for the FTE race and then kill an uncontested mob. It would actually reintroduce some degree of competition to raiding.

If you consider foot races competition I'm sure the dept of fun guild will be holding another rivervale race at some point in the future, but that shit is weak when you're talking about end game guilds. Let us train the hell out of each other and utilize the zone fully and see who gets mobs. 1 zone of anarchy on a server governed by endless rules isn't asking much.

Edit - just for clarity, for the majority of no CSR VP I was on the losing end of things. TMO wrecked us for months before we got our first kill. It was still way more fun than the weekly special olympics we've got going on in ToV and Kael. Make VP great again.

Acrylia shard kinda sucked in AC1.0. Only dropped from the two guards at the entrance to the city area or from Inner AC which barely anyone did the key for.
