What Has Been Your Favorite EverQuest Zone?

Hello all,

I asked this on social media this afternoon... but I figured I'd like to see what feedback we get on the forums too.

I'm curious, what has been your favorite EverQuest zone? What made this zone special to you?

Anguish

This zone is special because I started my raiding there.

I also enjoy helping others get their orbs for their new toons for the 2.0's there.

I really loved Highpass Hold. The goblins in the basement were an awesome venue to meet people. Made a lot of good friends there.

Also Thurgadin had a special place for me. Dains 10th ring event was awesome and the roleplay geek in me thought that the place was awesome.

Mentionalbe zones are: VP, PoG, CoA, Kael, Ssra and VT. My god yes VT was awesome. Anything pre-PoP was awesome imho

Oasis of Marr. This place was the most fun I had leveling up when I first started playing my paladin. Spectres were to be feared, there was always a steady stream of orcs and it was just awe inspiring at the time.

Solteris and Devastation

burned woods I still have yet to find it

Temple of Veeshan. This zone had so much longevity to it. You can raid one side. You can raid another side. Then when you are ready, you can go raid in yet another direction. Each choice had consequences that effected each individual raider as well as the guild as a whole. You could get leap frogged by another guild. One guild could exert dominance over another, and force them out of ooc / shout / auction channels. It was always a blast. Right now, Corrupted Temple of Veeshan is still one of my favorites (I wish they would add difficulty tiers to keep this one going)

Skyshrine was pretty cool too. I enjoyed showing people how to navigate it. I'm pretty sure it'd take me some time to find my way again.

Fond early memories of Greater Feydark... so many corpses on the ground below Kelethin.

Mistmoore for sure. Camping the best drum in game (before Nagafen) was a good challenge. Seeing the gypsies turn to werewolves added a lot of flavor at the time as well. The rumors that Mayong could spawn under certain circumstances also added to the mystique of the zone.

Veksar was big for me when it came out......finally got to see what was there lol.

Cazic Thule, the original. Absolutely loved that place.

Hard to beat any of the classic dungeons really.

Solo as a necro, crypt of decay before the 2004 charm nerf was the most fun I've ever had in EQ.

Raiding recently, Xorbb3 is a very fun event for a melee DPS class.

Temple of Veeshan, hands down. Equal parts nostalgia, graphics, content, etc. To me, EQ was its best during Velious, it was still a relatively young and amazingly magical ground-breaking game to me. While i have had lots of great experiences in-game since then, i still look back through rose-colored glasses at that time, and the Temple of Veeshan was the pinnacle of that experience for me.

I really liked the lay out of the zone, the graphics were awesome for the time and the content was amazing. A zone dedicated to killing dragons, not just a couple of dragons, but a bunch of them! What more could a young lad growing up reading fantasy books and playing D&D ask for? Then adding the excitement of racing other guilds to the zone, the danger of getting leap-frogged or FFA'ed by another guild somehow made looking at a computer screen for hours at a time so much more thrilling. Others zones were a close second, such as Veeshan's Peak and Plane of Fear, but Temple of Veeshan was it for me.

Does anyone know where it is this week?

Chardok.

Find a well-balanced, well-played group and fight in for excellent loot, but good luck camping it as a few mistakes or bad luck, and you have a heck of a CR to do!

It was great for judging player ability, as a bad player would prevent you from getting very deep, while great players could go all the way and then handle the roamers and repops.

Sleeper's Tomb

Just $&@*ing SoW us, dude! We all saw you running fast. We need it for a CR.

Lake of il Omen, after Kurnak release Rangers were not much desired, but i was able to exp and level in this zone so i explored it well.
