NEW EXPANSION FOR EQ!

[danipunk]

HI EVERYONE!

I SUPOSE that you know that SOE is working into another great
expansion for everquest. It will be named :arrow: Lost Dungeos of Norrath (LDON) ,
and my question is...
which expansions are playable in eqemu?
i had heard that are avaible until luclin, but i dont know exactly, please write back! :D

[MVG_everquest]

most have PoP, and some are currently installing LoY

[Merth]

EQEmu works with the client version of EQ from late 2002. This means all expansions up to PoP work. LoY is not yet working, but that is being addressed by the dev team.

[danipunk]

Ok.
I think the dev team is making a wonderful job.
Another quest

SoE is working on another great expansion

Where the hell are you coming from, the past 3 expansions were a JOKE, a HORRIBLE JOKE, this one is gona be even crappier than luclin and PoP COMBINED[/quote]

[danipunk]

If you dont like these expansions is your problem.
Not because it they dont like have to be HORRIBLE.
I dont like Velious Expansion, but i'm not going anywhere shouting that its a big shit.
I RESPECT the other opinions... but i think luclin, planes and ykesha are made everquest the best MMORPG. :arrow:

[Solx]

I never have much time to play, so if I can get a group and do a 2 hour dungeon, that would be sweet. I can actually have a sense of accomplishment.

[Kanelr]

I personally wont buy another EQ expansion. I stopped after PoP. This is too many damn expansions coming out too fast! this is the second one in less than 5 months.

So that is what? now 6 expansions and the regular EQ. They are getting carried away, i think its time they gave us at least 1 free expansion.

[Solx]

It seems to me that they are testing lots of EQ2 features in EQ. I bet we won't see much of an EQ2 beta, because everything will already be tested and tweaked.

[danipunk]

it could be.... :lol:

[Gannor]

I know this is a very unrealistic dream, but I would like to see...

...EverQuest not take up arms against soloing.

I want to play the race and class I love most, and not have to rely on a group just to survive a light blue in EQ Live.

Iksar Warrior, if you are wondering. I know I know, but hey, I like Iksars and I like swords, and I can't level a shadowknight. he's stuck at 32. And being poor don't help.

I know I know, dreaming... gotta keep real. I suppose it would be more likely if i were to wish I had a way of becoming rich in EQ Live.

/shrug

I suppose I'll just keep having fun on the Emu for now ;)

(Oh, and if they ever did make one of these come true, I would not abandon Emu, just wouldn't be as common.)

Just my 2 coppers, which is about all I have so don't ask for more. :P

[thornmallow]

lost dungeons of norrath will be coming out on EQ live but not on EQemu for a while im guessing, yea, still tryin to get in LoY

[danipunk]

Ok. Planes is completely playable at Eqemu?
I had a LoY acount at EQlive, and it was... good.

Can I find throught the net the expansions of Eq archives (in *.s3d) and download it? If iys yes, where?

[DaGrahamster]

i think luclin, planes and ykesha are made everquest the best MMORPG.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Slayer02]

i think luclin, planes and ykesha are made everquest the best MMORPG.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ROFL! I have to agree with ya there is well. Luclin and POP and Ykesha SUCKED, they RUINED the game. Everything after Velious sucked.

[danipunk]

Velious and kunark is a really shit!! Is the worst in the world.
Velious.. is... i cant say nothing. It's worst than pac-man!!!

Is Luclin and planes who brings everquest into a live "game", who evolutions, and not how this static games that you play for 3 months and after you uninstall they from your HDisk.
But if you cant see it.... its sad, and a pity.
No more. Bye

[Slayer02]

Did you even play EQ before any expansions came out? Probably not. Back then it rocked, now it's a piece of dung cash cow for sony and verant.

[danipunk]

first time i played eq was eq+kunark pack in the same cd.

[Slayer02]

Ok here is a basic overview of the expansions.
Kunark: New large land mass, new race, new items, new level cap, original.

Velious: New snowy landscape, new quests, etc. Not too much but good for a small expansion.

Luclin: Bad concept, New models but alot of them are quite bad (All I have to say is Troll to get my point across.) New land mass (always nice) New race and overpowerful class (balance issues)

POP: New land masses, quests, level limits, and AA points. New AA points were nice but to make any of this a use you have to be level 50, no fun. At least velious you could go to at around 25.

[danipunk]

if you dont like the expansions....i guess, you dont like actual EQ, and what are you doing in this web if you think this game is a shit?
I think you are a little stupid ,are u?

If you dislike the grand mass continents or the same things one and another, go out and look for a new game , this is my advice for you.

Enjoy the game!! :wink:

[DaGrahamster]

Ok /deep breath

Kunark is my favorite expansion in that is was extremely well thought out, very extensive, and gave more space to terribly confining smaller world of th original EQ. It also balanced classes out considerably. Monks, which were poorly balanced against other classes originally, were made far more powerful, and some of the Kunark spells were very original, yet not overpowerful. Ya also got a new race, and an increase in the level cap. In my opinion the zones were extremely well designed as well.

Velious was smaller, more elite, and concentrated more on the high-end game. Perhaps not the most noob-friendly stance Verant could have taken, but they added many more quests, and some pretty cool high-end content. The zone design for Sleepers (kill 4th warder, Sleeper wakes up, bye bye warders/primal) was terrible, yet intriguing.

Now, after Velious, EQ designers pretty much sell out in an effort to make all their lil Beta Testing friends (ie Afterlife) happy. In come 12765864 new weapons with monster ratios, and anything that has better than 12AC on it is NO DROP. Lots of content, and a few good ideas implemented poorly, but overall a mistake IMO.

PoP did a lil better by making some items dropable, like Windblade, but still basically following in the footsteps of Luclin.

I dont have LoY. I dont want LoY. I don't want to hear the words "Legacy" and "Ykesha" in the same sentence. Questable, no drop spells. Need i say more?

Now, all of u may think that just cuz an expansion gives ya gear like "Vanazir" or "Blade of War" or "Talisman of vah Kerrath" it kicks ass cuz now ya got 00b3r l33t l3wtz, but to me it's unappealing and makes the game boring.

Oh and btw Bazaar, SOME post-velious spells, SOME AA, PoK, and some of the smaller lil updates were pretty good, but that doesnt make the whole expansion good. And most of it was given to us thru patches anyway, not from the actual expansions.

[DarkMako]

I think LoY was a bad expansion.

[sshinji]

I came in when it was just Original EQ and Kunark.... I liked it better... I liked PoP since the game is already unbalanced to all hell and I was 60 when it came out.... But remembering the good old days... which were far better, makes me judgemental on why anyone can say PoP or Luclin were great expansions.... Yea they were great for the overwhelming increasement in expansions.... yes they were great because they put in so much ubber junk for the raiders and players to make the game stay unbalanced instead of fixing past issues and economy issues.... Hell they were even great because they gave you more reasons to stay in the same zones and do the same repetive process of EXPing for AA instead of makeing a ALT or Twink ALT and trying the world of Norrath through a whole new view.... And finally they were great expansions because they gave SOE so much more money to make the game better, at the expense of the players of course.... But you get what you pay for, and to be honest, a full game with talent stays at around 50 bucks for a year or at best 2.... These start out at 20 - 30 bucks, but hell when you have 430,000 subscribed account, you could be a millionare by just makeing them 3 dollars a piece.... So when you think about saying how great these expansions are compared to what they ADDED too... Think upon these wonderful reasons to why they were so great, because we all know.... Your in their world now :twisted:

[bignaterhater]

well said buddy...
i personally think the last expansions were rushed and just put out to make them a bunch of money. Sure the new graphics are nice and the new weapons, race, zones, and blah blah blah.... but the overall game of what it was in the beginning was much more well thought out through the first two expansions... the game has become one of twinks and money grubbers(Sony being one of them) the fun is lost through this shit! think about all the crappy expansions they are putting out in so little of time..... but on the otherhand all us dumbasses buy them so why not make crappy ass expansions.

[john_redman33]

I have to disagree that LoY was a bad expansion...sure it was rushed but in my opinion it was one of the more "useful"(I didn't say original or good, mind you) expansions. New LFG tool(I would never get a group in BoT/HoH if it wasn't for that thing), guild manager(having my own guild on EQlive, that is very helpful), and yeah I'm too self centered but I liked the dye too. Sure it wasn't a great expansion, and Kunark was definitely my favorite expansion(because it was first one I experienced), and it can't top Velious either.

Luclin was crap, always will be crap. I hated Luclin. The boss mobs were weak except for Ssra and slight few others. There were seldom few mobs a tank, shammy, high damage rogue, 4 clerics and a mage(before click stick nerf) couldn't take in luclin(a mage before click stick nerf summoning mod rods would basically triple 4 clerics mana pool, allowing a fight to last much longer. although now mages actually blast in raids, they were more effective summoning mod rods sad but true.).
What I'm saying is Luclin sucked, content wasn't original, was more sci-fi than rpg with the mobs(Zelniaks, Umbrous Toilers, Grieg mobs. Need I say more)

PoP AA was also useful to an extent, but almost nobody levels in old world zones anymore(i.e their patch to make it so you can get exp on lower lvl mobs at 60-65, so more would lvl in old world). This basically ruined it, and their sad attempt at making a storyline for PoP was lost in the masses of people competing for "uber lewts" in higher tier planes.

All in all I agree the real "feel" of EQ was definitely lost after Velious..and although the expansions after it weren't all that great, they still serve a purpose..for sony #1 purpose bringing new players to the game that want more advanced player content #2 to keep old players hooked with AA and new zones/features. It's all about the money

just my 2 plat there. I dont care if anyone flames me but I prob wont remember to check this thread again. spending too much time learning code and playing eqemu :)

[BLOOD_kane]

i agree everything after velious was shyt

[x-scythe]

i think velious was the worst expansion...couldnt really do anything unles you were high level and had a good guild in most cases

[BLOOD_kane]

not true it had great content for 25+ which at that time was more than half of the level limit. I wish instead of luclin they added that 6th continent that they never will :(

[torrack]

I come from a PvP server, so I have a slightly different view I guess. I also started before Kunark came out. Kunark was a decent expansion, but it sucked for PvP. The land mass became too big, and PvP stopped having a purpose other than random encounters. You werent fighting for control of a dungeon or area now since people could just move to one of the many others available.

Velious imo was a great expansion. It added a ton of content to the high lvl game which was needed. There was plenty of low lvl content, but not as much high lvl content, and once you've been in the game for a while, you look for high level content, not more low lvl stuff.

Luclin had some decent ideas, but all in all, sucked bad as an expansion. Time sinks were introduced, which really sucked. Some of the zones were ok, but nothing that was all that new or interesting. The Bazaar was nice tho.

Planes of Power was imo a good and bad. It added alot of content for the higher end game, which by that time the majority of players were at. The zone progression was a good idea, but done a little roughly. I like PoP personally. The only real problem with PoP is that it made old world obsolete and undesirable for people around 58 or above.

LoY was not really an expansion imo, just an add-on to PoP to add content for people below 60.

[Awetopsy77]

I agree. Kunark was probably the best expansion so far. Luclin, in my opinion was a stinker. The only good parts were the new models, nexus and the bazaar. Actually, I'm not sure the spires/nexus was a good thing at all since it made druids/wizard ports somewhat less sought after. Oh well.

I think it was pretty wrong of them to give you a travel node to lower timesinks of traveling greatly... and allow it only for those that give them extra cash, same thing about LoY, but, about their stupid tools, they rock, they are wonderful, but, I refuse to pay $20 to get them.

[Dewmtont]

Velious was my favorite expansion. ToV loot was at the time, more desirable then 2 hookers at the bunnyranch.

[Elrach]

I'm looking at this thread and having a chuckle. Each expansion had good and bad. A lot of it depends on your perspective.

Kunark was great, it spread people around a bit. Had very nice dungeons.

Velious was poor at best for me. It was way too raid oriented (which didn't fit my game style).

Luclin was terrible imo. This is where things started getting out of wack too much. Big line was drawn between the power gamers and the regular guys.

PoP seemed very restrictive, and terrible at first. However, this expansion had some of the best content ever! Stuff like trials (forget they were needed to advance in the planes, they were fun to figure out and beat), hedge maze, etc. Some of these encounters were a nice change to the usual camps.

LoY I have no clue. I was too close to quiting when it came out, I didn't bother.

LDoN sounds pretty nice to me. I always prefered single group over raids. This expansion almost makes me want to give Sony another 20$ to check it out. Bah, nm, I'll just borrow my friend's account. :)

So for me, that was 2 good, 2 bad, 1 unknown, 1 looking good. Guess it wasn't all that bad seen from this angle.

[Raevenfrost]

yeah i heard of this new expansion, lost dungeons of norrath or however it went, i think they are making too much profit off these expansions. and theyre releasing a brand new game, lords of everquest something like that, i heard its like warcraft 3 but with an EQ theme

[Solx]

Champions of Norrath http://championsofnorrath.station.sony.com/ intrests me a bunch. It is a PS2 rpg. It is probably the only way I will be able to fight any Uber MOBs not ever having any chances to go on Raids.

Ok, let's see who is the -. A little stupid? I said the original EQ rocked, which is why I was here. (GuildWars you -. Not to mention the fact that before GuildWars I played when PoP wasn't around. I can play with the expansions, but it doesn't mean I have to like them. Luclin made some sense, and I understand why some people liked it. But PoP and Now this new one? No..) So technically, I am not here to play the - expansions but the original EQ. But I removed all EQ contents from my computer and am now here for the forum. EDIT BY SLAYER02 - Edited for language

[Spedfist]

is LoY downloadable for free or do u pay for it?

[Shawn319]

is LoY downloadable for free or do u pay for it?

Expansions always cost money.

[Edgar1898]

Well technically, you have to pay for the expansions to play on live, but LoY was a free download, you just couldnt play it unless you bought a key. (Or got one for free like me! :P )
