The Next EQ2 Expansion should be...

[The Edge]

What about Taelosia?

I do remember seeing some discussion with a dev talking about possibly adding Odus in, so Grobbee might be correct.

However, I think Kunark would be the next best choice with Cabilis as a new evil city. Maybe even toss in some Shissar that escaped from Luclin. They were smart enough to escape the Greenmist after all.

Oh, and according to the lore, Kerafyrm caused Luclin to go kaboom, not RZ.

underwater fighting is the most annoying thing ever. Though if everything was in under*ground* caves and shit and the temple fell into the surface and shit and spawned a super vyemm/vulak child, <3

I voted Velious. It's the most fun I've had in any game, ever.

Kunark would be fine IF they added planes, the end game content in Kunark just isn't really there. Plus ToV is just what VP should've been and the faction story in Velious was awesome and there's a fuckton of options they could revive that into something incredibly badass.

Easy fix. Velious starts to sink so the dragons fly to Kunark and establish new ToV. Now you have Sebilis, VP, New ToV, Chardok, and Karnor's all available to be high-end zones.

Plus you have Nurga, Droga, Charasis, Dalnir, and Veksar.

New dungeons could easily show up in the Swamp of No Hope, Trak's Teeth, Warsliks, The Overthere, and other such areas.

Kunark has plenty of potential.

As an erudite necro, I loved Odus. According to the little cloth map, there are a few zones that never made it into EQ1 that they could introduce into EQ2. One reason why Odus would be good is to see what the Erudites were up to that caused their transformation and glowing skin. Maybe the Heretics took over and Erudin is now an evil city, or maybe the Hole got rebuilt. Lots of stuff they could do over there.

As far as the underwater stuff goes with a Velious expansion, I don't think it will happen, and for the same reason they didn't add Kedge Keep to the EoF expansion. They have said numerous times that pathing and combat underwater in EQ2 is not exactly where it should be, so that's something they'd have to address first.

Well odus had paineel and the hole, which were pretty cool places IMO. Paineel would make a fucking awesome raidzone, and the hole would make a nice high level dungeon. But I would agree that it would be more suited to be an adventure pack then a full blown expansion. I voted Kunark. Redoing that continent though would seem like alot of work. That place was HUGE. They might need an adventure pack and 2 expansion packs to completely redo and rework that place heh.

But whatever it is, devs take note! The VAST majority want reworked old content, not new content! I hope EoF started a wonderful trend. =)

I vote for a story arc, recombining the the blown apart Antonica into a one continent again and getting rid of those damn bells that insta port you everywhere.

Isn't Odus already in game? I remember running through "The Hole" in the Enchanted Lands all the time running to Runneye.

I think we'll see a rework of Kunark and then new content from that point forward with, perhaps, a light sprinkling of EQ1 content for nostalgia.

Well, if you played EQ2 at any reasonable level, you'd know there are already more references to Odus in game than there are Kunark.

The return of the Quellithulians, and their connection to dragonkind. The experiment in Stonebrunt that caused the Kerrans to flee, and the Erudites to "change".

The Hole, Arcadin, Toxxulia (the forest, and the dragon, she's still alive and Venekor's mom), Paineel.

The emergence of teleportation magic via the Quellithulians.

They're all over the place, it's too big of an arcing plot line to avoid.

And, if you think these things aren't already planned out about a year in advance, you're the one who wont get hired.

I agree, that Kunark is much cooler, but Odus seems to be more prevalent in the storyline currently.

No, it should have pelican-people. I voted Kunark myself because i think that would bring a bunch of EQ1 players to EQ2.

[CabbitCabbit]

About how much would it cost to get into EQ2, with all the expansions right now and whatzit

[Araxen]

$40 if you go buy the EoF expansion at your local eb/wal-mart. EoF Retail includes all the expansions.

[Saban]

i miss kunark because back then, when a guild killed something, it probably got a serverwide announcement.

Trakanon for example.

[Kreugen]

I'd like to see an entire expansion take place within a plane.

Of course, that's basically what Burning Crusade is, with a different label.

[Muligan]

I believe this will be a difficult decision for them. Do you go with the "next best thing" in EQ? Which would be probably Kunark or do you implement more from classic EQ to tie the land & lore together? Whatever they do I believe they'll implement an evil race to compliment the Fae.

Personally I believe the Planes would be a good idea from the items listed. Velious/Kunark would be easiest for developement because of all the hit locations they posessed. I wonder what they would do about Sleepers though? ToV? VP? I think they could just deal with dungeons like Karnors, Sebilis, and so forth and have a hit.

It would be cool to implement Velious and have Thurgadin as the home of an evil and bitter dwarf race ;P

So? There are also references to Luclin. By the same flawed logic, perhaps a revisitation of Luclin will be the next expansion.

I don't think our disagreement over whether it will be Odus or Kunark has anything to do with how far in advance an expansion is planned. Nice attempt though. =P

Kunark is cooler, which is why there won't be an Odus expansion. You may see Odus come out with Kunark, but Odus won't be the focus.
