@Rogean, surely this is not the ToV raid scene you intended after 4/2019

I don't wonder about that; I consider it a certainty. The technology was different in terms of allowed zone size and polygon counts/etc, and the philosophy changed as well. Look at how by Velious player starting faction becomes virtually irrelevant, as does player size--all dungeon zone interiors are large enough to permit ogres free movement. Kunark wouldn't have needed its own standalone leveling path if it was packaged as part of the original game. You'd have more but smaller zones without the extended zone-lines that were a direct consequence of the developers trying to discourage zone-line camping/pulling. I'm not sure you'd have iksar at all, at least not in their extant form, without sales pressure driving the addition of an "overpowered" new race.

I might have liked that alternate world version of the game, but what we have here on P99 is pretty good too.

Kunark was supposed to be part of the original game they just hadn’t finished all of it by the time release rolled around
