Still going to do Plane of Hate/Fear?

[Beor]

I was wondering if people still planned to do Plane of Fear and Hate even after Kunark is released? Also, on that same note, will Nagafen and Vox still be killed regularly?

[Toony]

Yes.

[guineapig]

Absolutely!

[Cars]

hate and fear get overhauled later on with better items and harder mobs. So yes

That is in velious IIRC

[Droop]

Naggy and Vox can't be hit by anyone over level...52 right? Or they get kicked to zone line?

[Rais]

Thats like 2 months after Kunark goes live.

I am not willing to subscribe to alla to get the details on this but i am 99% sure that the overhaul launches with epic weapons. Especially considering the items that get added or more on par statistically with kunark weapons and armor.

[Pescador]

Many planar items will be used through Velious, so I'm sure the planes will still be farmed. Additionally, once epics are introduced, people will need to get items from Fear / Hate / Sky anyways.

[Dantes]

I hope so. Still haven't been to either one.

No, it happens 3 months after Velious. In the actual timeline it happened March 14, 2001.

You don't need to subscribe to alla to view this patch history page (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches.html).

I believe we will still see people clearing the planes. Even with Kunark gear the planar gear is still very good, and relatively accessible.

[inyane]

just will be able to do them with less people. so now the smaller guilds will get a chance to start clearing them.

]To add the question: What type of mid level community is there? Are people still grouping in the 30's and 40s? Is the community still growing?

Absolutely. I usually see at least 3 groups in Mistmoore alone that range anywhere from 20-35.

SolB and Lguk tend to be packed during peak hours.
Guk tends to have mor eloot farmers but in SolB you will usually see Window, royals, BnB and freeti all camped every night, all night.

Of course many of these characters are alts at this point but I would say at least 20% are still leveling their first toons.

Honestly, mid level (35-45) really sucks because everything is so crowded. Cant find anything to do, can't wait for Kunark it should fix this.

[aggresor223]

I always thought the low 30's were the worst, hard to find groups. Once 40 solb and lguk open up more

[Bubbles]

Kunark will really open up the level 20-40 game, for those of you asking.

Hate and Fear won't be perma-killed like it is now, but Inno/CT/Dracho will still be heavily contested. Some guilds might even kill maestro to make the clerics and spites in his room easier to pull, too. =P

[Yob]

Just leveled my first toon to 50. Had no problems at all. Unrest -> Uguk-> Highkeep -> MM -> Lguk/SolB.

GGWP.

[gnomishfirework]

Yes. People won't stop just because epics aren't out yet.
