Will the game become too easy once exp penalties are removed?

On this server of course not. There are guilds with 80+ man Zerg forces lol.

But if there were an opportunity for 12 dudes to take on Trakanon it would be tough for any old 12 dudes to pull that off. You'd need some legit dudes who are well geared and have a solid strategy.

By your logic why not just put planes of power in? It cuts back on travel time and offers more skillful encounters.

Holy fuck yes. Best expansion ever. Confirmed. Put a stamp on it.

-.- Well anyways some people play for the immersion classic eq offered. If I wanted a game in the direction you seem to be wanting I would just play eq2 wow or some game with actual skill like dota.

or hey, live eq might be a good one too!

No. PoP was quintessential classic shit.

Players killing Gods and Dragons. Epicly long quest chains, extremely unique and powerful items. Content that was in depth. Keying/Flagging that was a huge ordeal.

No expansion will ever match PoP in terms of depth, areas added to game, step-up in challenge, equipment, tradeskills, flagging and lore. If you really get your panties in a bunch about a few PoK books, cry less. You don't have to use them. Feel free to run around all you want and ask a Druid/Wizard for a port to PoK instead of booking.

Sorry but the "PoK books made PoP terrible" argument is so stupid.

Sorry I'm going to just have to disagree with you entirely. But thankfully it doesn't matter because nilbog is dedicated to a classic server.

PoP by far was my fav expansion other than velious, it showed who was hardcore from the whiny maggots, people that put in time to get all those flags and backflag for new people, also was very challenging rather than zerging a mob with just hp.

I'm with Daldaen on PoP, it was a great expansion in general...the stones were a major problem though and really heralded the end of EQ. PoP without stones and without a stupidly high zem in whatever that zone was off of shadowhaven would be great imo.

Yes, I know shadowhaven was luclin.

Sorry but the "PoK books made PoP terrible" argument is so stupid.

Yeah, they were bad but that's no reason to toss the whole deal, especially here where it could be customized a bit.

I wonder if Rogean would consider letting someone fork his code base to set up a sister server...do all teh work to get luclin & pop enabled.

[Tongpow]

naw


PoP was shit

Remove stones, make PoK a Druid/wiz port only. Great justice ensues. Best expansion of EQ relived.
