This is also true.

Classic EQ dragons will shut down a lot of players down cold with a lv50 cap and old world gear.

Nag/Vox aren't going to shut anyone down with serverside filtering.

There's NO way in hell they're going to do this on an individual basis.. It'll be serverwide expansion access.

QFT. Those things rocked my 45 monk when I farmed gear in there on a regular basis.

I'm really interested in this, but the only way I'd do it is if it (a)started in summer and (b)was on an individual basis. Otherwise, like everyone said, it'd be a normal server in 6 months.

Paw = 55+
Runnyeye was jacked up
Someone mentioned Befallen? (don't know if it was or not)
NFP is gone now
Oasis of marr is gone now...

On the other hand, I can't wait to kill some Sisters of Errolisi.

As for expansion races, they could put the Kerrans on Kerra Isle on Odus, throw the Ikky's in the feerot near CT, and the frogs are already in Rathe Mts.

I can't wait.
NFP NPC's are still there. The zone was just modified.

Oasis of Marr is still there, in it's original form basically. They just essentially took away the zone line to SRo, so it's just one big zone now.

If I can make a cleric without channeling, I'd do it again. If they keep the "autoskill" shit they have now, I'll sit on the sidelines.

Wasn't Naggy killed with 14 people before Kunark shipped? Go go positioning~

they would probably need 2 or 3 progression servers, i imagine they would be pretty popular for awhile.

I believe you're drastically overestimating the demand for it. There's 10k people asking for shit like this, and maybe 2k who will play.....for a month.

Hmm, I dunno about that. 18-24 was a perfectly acceptable raid size, though.

Honestly? I always preferred the 'hell level' mechanic to the 'one long smooth grind' system. It wasn't more experience, it was simply allocated differently so your play changed during (and just after) particular levels. It certainly felt more like milestones to me, even if it was unintended.

For the record though, I really can't see ever going back. As has been said, the big thing isn't the difference in available gear but instead the difference in actual knowledge (and the server-side filters of course). There isn't much point really in farming the heck out of LGuk or even Naggy and Vox when you could just unlock Kunark and regear/level there. I could easily see it degenerate into undergeared zerging until you reach a happy plateau (say SoV with certain epics), followed by enough farming to regear tanks, followed by more zerging to your next plateau and so on. It's an interesting race on paper but I just don't think I've got the energy for it when I know there is simply no way in hell that I'd still be playing even a year down the road.

Who knows, I've changed my mind before.

Nah I was just kidding. I abhored hell levels hehe. But I can't see myself grinding even just to 50 in eq anymore unless they put in some experience modifier to cushion the tedium of eq leveling.
