Would PoP be considered classic if it was released before Luclin?

Vex Thal did suck though. Once you had CotH bots parked around the zone it was more manageable but... Still was just a boring loot pinata. A loot pinata that allowed you to progress further into PoP if you didn't have the numbers to brute force your way past certain fights.

I liked some of the effects on VT items though - but yeah it was a brutal raid.

I never really liked "cats on the moon" but I pretty much ignored that aspect of Luclin anyway. I did like AA, Luclin raiding and keying however. Some of my fondest EQ memories involve Ssra temple and getting keyed for VT. Oh, and I prefer new models to old, but I'm a heretic that way!

Pretty sure they already confirmed that AAs would never happen in their original form because they already ripped all of the AA code out.

It would be cool to have customized PoP content though. Replace PoK with nexus, do a little bit of custom lore saying its some kind of purgatory inbetween the realm of mortals and the realm of the gods. Have nexus accessible through a custom key quest involving killing high end velious content, then have nexus link up to just the PoP raid content. Maybe some kind of custom system to replace AAs for the people who like the grind, something along the lines of the tome system SoD uses.

Well no matter I've just always like the ideas of being able to go to different planes. It would be awesome if they added custom content after velious though. Maybe some badass encounters to stump the top guilds? Anyhow I love the server with or without the idea of future content post velious.

Luclin had a lot of good stuff. PoK was good for the community it was a meeting place for everyone. Guild halls were bad for the community but I liked em anyway.

Fuck that Maidens Eye shard for VT key, spent countless hours there!

ME shard was easy if you knew what you were doing. Extremely easy with a bard.

Just gather a train and swarm suicide the 5-6 PHers and zone off. Come back in 20min.

For some reason the Fungus Grove shard was my bane though. I'd clear every single giant bug thing that could drop the shard and it would never drop. Something like 12 hours of clearing every spawn to get my druid that shard.

[Bumamgar]

Easy enough in concept, sure. But if you are actually working on the quest when the content is new, there are guaranteed to be other groups farming the PHs. Not to mention, there was no guarantee that you'd get a drop when you came back 20 min later, so you might have to do your swarm over and over till you got the drop (assuming you found the mobs un-camped in the first place).

[Daldaen]

Those guys dropped the shard probably 50-75% of the time I'd say.

I grant you that if people were camping them then obviously the method doesn't work. But that zone was such a terrible zone people rarely were there unless kiting. Which was great as a bard, could just swarm suicide Em and come back later.

I'd be okay with skipping SoL entirely and starting with PoP or custom PoP content. Bring along SoL's AAs, maybe Nexus, maybe Bazaar, but nothing else from that horrible expansion. PoP had content for every guild at every level and I had a lot of fun doing it. SoL made me want to jack it with sandpaper.
