How did Crescent Reach destroy the world? It was a extremely convenient place to do tradeskills, granted... but the precedent had already been set. Quote:

I had some fun with EQ2. Even the PvP a few levels with the open world stuff. There was single item loot (GOOD) but it got f'd with the honor system/token stuff being no drop... and frankly... existing at all. Slowly lost interest from there.

The individual, varied, and quite frankly very colorful home cities of all of the races of norrath, from the fairly austere Freeport and Qeynos to the majestic Erud to the ramshackle Grobb, were the biggest draws to me as a player. Different players got different starts and different beginner experiences through those opening cities, and often got relatively unique items from the quests in those areas. It helped make the world feel more... well, like a world. I could grok the Nexus, the PoK, and Gloomingdeep because those zones didn't do what Crescent Reach did, in my opinion, to the largest sources of individual race lore in the whole game. Also, I think the Drakken were just horridly ugly and generic-looking and I would have vastly preferred playable gnolls or orcs over them, because at least those had precedence. I would vote frogloks as the well-modeled new player race, personally.

I forgot about non-Drakken being able to choose it as your starting city. That is dumb. I remember when I came back to the game after Hiatus02 it gave me the option between Halas and CR. I don't think I realized that it would affect the then-unknown-to-me "Origin" ability, but I'm glad I went with my gut and picked Halas anyway.

Starting area didn't matter anyway, after the PoK books.
Luclin was the beginning of the end, with their wiz spires porting to an area where PvP was not allowed, and bazaar where PvP was not allowed. It really ruined the trading experience, where lights traded in gfay and darks around Neriak. So much for meaningful RP...
