The end of this video shows one of the most favourite places I loved to hunt. Those vampires were AWESOME! I will miss that.

The coterie vampires.. that's in Tenebrous Mountains, iirc. They were pretty cool yeah!

My favorite zone is Akheva Ruins. It's the first zone where i grouped with my friend after catching up to him, that's the first time when i really felt "high level".

I don't know why i love it so much, it just feels like home. Even during PoP, i would go back to solo centis, despite BoT and other PoP zones giving a lot more AAxp. Just to hang out there.

2. Community - introduction of the nexus/bazaar was the beginning of unraveling of the Classic Everquest community.

I have to admit, chilling out in the tunnels and looking at all the posted loot, making an offer, meeting with the guy, the whole deal... it's as much fun buying as it is to actually equip the loot.

My one question would then be, how is custom content considered classic then? I understand in the stream they said, "It would have to stay in the realm of classic EQ" but that statement is completely subjective. I enjoy the current servers as they are and am fine with velious but as the devil's advocate, I'm not sure how you can say custom content is more classic EQ than SoL.

You can say custom content is more classic than SoL if it

1. Doesn't radically change the setting of the game.
2. Doesn't unravel the way the community interacts with itself/
3. Doesn't trivialize most of the content already available on the server.

It doesn't matter that these things are subjective, because this is not a democracy. Get it together, man.

I realize this isn't a democracy and have said as much in my previous posts. Again this is more to find out what the reasoning for feeling that something that was implemented into the game at one time or another isn't as good as something original made by devs that never worked for the EQ franchise.

As you and others have listed, I have gotten the answer to my question.

*Edit* - Although I still think that a "custom content" addition that was reworked zones from other EQ expansions not implemented would be a great way of doing custom content. However, another poster mentioned that the devs had said that it would be harder to do that than just reworking current zones or creating completely original content.

One other reason is that the developers responsible for the first three releases are not the same as those for subsequent releases. The original developers left to form their own company and begin work on another project. That is another reason for the line at Velious in the classic community.

Me too. That's where I ground out 45 FREAKIN AA's on my quest to get AM3/EQ. Great creepy zone, nobody there but me and my boxed healer. Perfect.

The one thing I liked about Loose Lin was the transportation. A perfect middle ground between boats and PoP EZ mode.

I will be happy as long as the level caps stays at 60 and we never see PoP
