Luclin

I dunno I mean how often were you in classic zones during Velious? During luclin? PoP?

didnt really shrink the world if you already played a druid/wizard.

EQ didnt decline till after PoP

IMO kunark is a worse expansion than luclin entertainment wise

Iksars are incredibly ugly
mobs have huge hps and hit hard
the end-zone VP is a pita to get in
travel is terrible

The only upside was epics, otherwise the entirety of kunark is a wash

Lucing had great leveling zones for everyone, as well as great kiting spots all the way to 60. Easy travel and access, lots of raid targets. Improved selling and lots of cheese, etc. And AA's.. just amazing.

^ Very much this. I don't know all the rose colored glasses for kunark. But it relay is a stinker of an expansion

kunark is a terrible terrible expansion imo

You're just bored of it.

Best playable race on live arguably came with Kunark (was anyone else around to see the Drakkin? aaaahahahahaha...). Also epics were all Kunark era, we'd be lost without the expansion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I like Kunark, but it is definitely a leveling expansion. If you're looking at it from the perspective of a level 60, it's a weak expansion. The top end is very shallow, and I'm not even talking about raiding here. Keep in mind that the majority of people in raiding guilds were not even 60 when Velious launched.

I know praising aspects of 'that game' is a big no-no around these parts, but I think vanilla WoW's model of travel was perfect. You had a system where you needed to travel somewhere first before you could use the painless 'quick' system. Travel still took time, and you physically flew over the terrain so the world did not lose its magnitude. Not to mention the scenery specifically designed for Griffin/Bat/Hippogryph rides. It even served as a money sink.

Players like a big world to travel in, but if the developers enabled binding in TD for a week, 90% of the server would be bound at firepots.

Yeah. There's a difference between go-there-by-foot first then have instant travel available and go-there-by-foot first and require a flight. I mentioned the latter as I think it's a better compromise between instant travel and hoofing it.

Porting isn't instant travel unless you are a Druid or wizard IMO.
