EQ1 Velious Roxd my sox.

I loved EQ classic at release, couldnt stop playing it. The game was just so much fun. It was groundshaking really, a world with other real players.

Raiding Naggy, Vox, Fear, Hate and Air. Emperor Crush and his invis guard, Qeynos was swarming with people, EC tunnel lagging like you were in a pool of molases on a cold day swimming up the side of a building. 120 People zerging nagafen for almost a good hour.

Inte's Sword of Death! 120/20 was it? Hitting for 200 - 600 dmg in classic was INSANE. You dont hit for 600 now, except for BSes and crits.

Then Kunark came about, quite a fun expansion in itself, new zones, new levels, new content. And most important.. the epics. Oh god the epics. People completing them, drooling at 100hp weapons, items with 20+ a stat.

Next was velious.. oh my god Velious. This expansion was so god damn good. 3 Factions, at war. Choose your side, you made your game then. Best of all... a fuckton of dragons. Dragons everywhere. Huge zones, AoW ripping people new ones. 200 people raids wiping on him cause you had 3 or 4k hp at most.

Then Luclin.. what a fucking disaster luclin was. The "LOL 7 models for the whole expansion". The "lets give mobs 1bazillion hp". SoE took over with Luclin, and the game went down hill ever since.

Then PoP. PoP was a fun expansion.. till the cockblocking in ele's and such started. Devs.. finish shit before releasing it. kthx.

The rest of the expansion I wont comment, except for GoD. Horrible in its released state, now not bad.

PvP! I remember me and 3 friends killing trolls in their swamp for about 3 hours, till some ubers came in and almost got us.. hiding in the troll swamp cause we were lost as all hell. Dear god that was fun. Now EQ PvP is so bad.

Ok well, Im done running my mouth, that was a fun trip down memory lane.

Edit-- Yes, I know Hate etc wasnt released till a bit after release.
