I thought PoP raiding was top notch, much better than almost any expansion outside of velious.
PoK on the other hand, no thx. | ||

PoP was the best "raiding" expansion of any game ever. If you were a hardcore raider in eq this was your expansion.

As more people were able to raid, the fights had to become more complex because more tools also became available to the raiders. Remember when the first complete heal rotation was done on a boss fight? It more or less trivialized keeping the tank up so they had to introduce new mechanics to kill the tank. Very much a race between developers finding new ways to keep players interested and the players being able to figure out mechanics and strategies to complete the raids in less time. | |||

I noticed a major decline in population around 2006 before that it was still fairly healthy

Fights like Magnetic Behemoth, Terris Thule, Rallos Zek, all required strategy and there are many many more fights that i could list. Now if you did content a few expansions down the road sure, your obviously overgeared enough you can spank and tank it but dont dare say it was spank and tank because it was far from that. | |||

Especially because there weren't any existing strats for places like that, known to the public's eyes. People often take things for granted, because there's plenty of info on every encounter already - take your pick. There aren't that many players around anymore, who actually invent new strats and tactics on the fly, it's not so common these days.

No, Orruar is more correct. Subs were still rising until 2005.

Would like to see this FV style with trivial loot code and drops. Server resets and fast EXP/GM handouts/corruption bad though. Thats the prob with 90% EMUs. At least Project1999 makes the majority of players earn their stuff.
