NToV for the first time.

QFT

Tower of Frozen Shadow will probably always be my biggest Velious memory. It was the first time EQ really felt super-atmospheric to me back on Live. That and the bridge from IC to EW. Those first moments of Velious really haven't been topped in a game since.

Edit: First trip to Skyshrine, first Kael raid were also big moments.

I wonder if Kunark zones like seb/hs will be completely empty with velious...

I think a lot of old(er)-world content will be BYOG, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. CoM is like this right now, and it's still an awesome zone.

Velious was the nuts for expansions IMO.

I remember the first time running into Lodizal was pretty epic. The Ring war was also very very cool as well.

Jumping from ice berg to ice berg in Ice clad.

I just remember spending a boat load of time in velk lab, mainly up on the top shelf.

Ahh the memories...

Def favorite part of EQ and of any MMO or gaming experience ever

My experience of Velious more comes from levels 30-50. It started off in Iceclad Ocean hunting snow cougars. Then moved into fighting at Ry'gorr fort. Then the Pinnacle of my EQ memories is Crystal Caverns, my favorite dungeon and favorite memories come from this place.

How could I forget Tower of Frozen Shadows!!!!!

I was rushed when I created this thread:

Kael; just the zone in general. Had a blast pulling Vindi/Statue and all that bullshit as a monk; was insanely fun.
Tower of Frozen Shadow: Best zone in the game. Working your way to the top level is just so damn rewarding.
Velketors: Such a fun exp zone; frenzy or kobold camp: having a bard join just to afk and play mana song so we could exp throughout the night.
Dragon Necropolois: Epic for it's time.
and of course, ToV: Just all around one of the funnest zones to pull.
Soloing Crystal Caverns as a monk; doing big things there. (somehow on blue, I feel monk AC/mitigation is totally fucked...I have trouble soloing dark blues without dying; back on live, I remember dinging 50 soloing LDCrawlers, now (here), they eat my butthole from the inside out.)
