I have to give props to wiz who stated it clearly the magic has ended for most of us.

the magic is gone period. it isnt around to experience anymore. there has not been a server that came close to emulating what everquest 1999 was. not soe or eqemulator server. (exept maybe that perma death server that had no expansion content omfg that was LEET -pvp and permadeath)

Luclin changed the world and it was the fulcrum of EQ development. There's no doubt in my mind that people would agree when I say Luclin turned the economy upside down, There was a point when Crystal Chitin was the uber shit next to Plane armor, and Quest armor. Spending a full month getting an entire set of this demi-godly armor (better then kunark's deepwater and the like) my once 25k (Ubah rich) armor fell to 5k in one day. Mino axe's became extinct, Ornate Rune blades, Arbitors combine, Nat's 2 hander all became common n00b twinks.

kunark, and velious are the worst offenders for trivializing old world content. i took a break from eq during luclin cause i got fed up so i dont know how bad that was, and im sure the addition of a supermarket instead of player trading helped kill it to. mino axe's went exticnt with kunark and velious. and those other items you mentioned are just some of the uber content that came with trilogy era and killed economy.
kunark came out and had content better than planar armor, which you also got exp while getting because its just alot of farming. does that make any sense? kunark having content greater than the planes? no. but they had to do it. they messed up. get my ragebringer was awsome, probly the coolest quest i did on my halfling. but now i know that epics were a bad idea, and shouldnt of ever come into existance, the original eq team admits the whole epic idea was a bad idea. but the eqlive team makes epic 2.0's lol. theres alot more reasons why i wouldnt want to see kunark and especially velious on a server. my best times of eq are probly during the velious era, but that doesnt mean i think it was the best way to go.
i wont even go into why eq99 > custom-eqemuserver02
