Expansion Poll - Up to which xpac.

I loved the Bazaar. Something about being able to turn yourself into a clickable vendor just seemed awesome to me.

Wouldn't mind if it stopped at Velious though.

for that matter, why not just play live~? if you want new content all the time added it just seem a bit pointless now that its F2P & you would get your wants of new content [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Obvious answer, PoP/Velious/Luclin/Kunark are not relevant. Also, Mercs and shiz.

This server is working on 2 years with only kunark out its not like we are in any danger of seeing PoP next friday.

I voted Luclin. The biggest reason being it actually got rid of a lot of EQ's downsides without fucking up the original version of the game. Luclin is a good mix of innovations that helped the game without getting too far away from its original incarnation. PoP completely rewrote the game, whereas Luclin was EQ at its highest.

[Lagaidh]

I voted Velious. But I would not mind seeing AAs introduced and Veksar. I LOVED Veksar with a passion. In fact... I think my live version of Lagaidh has been logged out there for years now =)

In live I played fairly consistently from 99 to 05. I have to say that much of the content past PoP was white noise to me. I did do some OoW, GoD and DoD raiding. My favorite raiding was PoP. I still hate that I lost my "You have slain Quarm!!" screenie as paladins didn't often get the kill shot.

The time of the game being completely magical ended for me with the release of Luclin. About a week and a half into it was the first time I regretted buying an EQ expansion. My vote is for the nostalgic magic! I've so thoroughly enjoyed myself here. It's everything I could have wanted.

Minor gripes:
- I liked maps (but I also enjoy really knowing a zone, too).
- I wouldn't mind seeing shared bank slots for xfers.
- I liked spell sets and the right-click spell menu.

I guess any gripes I have are UI based and not content based. VELIOUS!

My favorite AAs as a paladin?

Two-handed Bash
Slay Undead

Even though I said I'd like to see AAs here, I really wonder... It became one more avenue in which one was expected to keep up with the Joneses. "Don't have the tanking AAs? Get lost." Or even worse later in EQ when you simply couldn't perform your basic role without certain AAs... I was always a paladin so that's what I knew.

[Haul]

Luclin was awesome.

[Uteunayr]

I voted Luclin, because the upgraded dark elf graphics were pretty boss. I didn't care much for AAs, and I especially didn't like the de-personalization of trade that came about from the bazaar... But I liked looking even more awesome in my robes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Plus, exploring the moon was very interesting to me, and I never got to do it as I quit EQ shortly after Luclin came out for DAoC, so I'd still enjoy seeing it more.

Pretty sure most P99 players dislike the way the Bazaar changed the game.

Speak for yourself, slick.

I know -many- people who would love to have the bazaar over EC and very few who prefer the spam-afk-in-lowbie-zone method we have now.

Stop at Velious, no more expansions, no custom content.

One year after the release of Velious, open a secondary server, a classic progression server, ending in whatever expansion with whatever custom content you want to add. Wipe it at some point if you feel like it, and start over. I don’t care.

Bottom line, blue server should stop at Velious and remain untouched for as long as possible.

The ones who will get bored with it, which are the hardcore players, can move elsewhere, unblocking content for others who are not interested in the poopsocking type of play.
