True, but we've had two with 4 words (LDoN, CotF), and one with 1 (Underfoot). Or was there more to the name than just Underfoot? I'm still holding out for expacs with initials SoB and PoS
Interesting, hopefully this is as fun as TBL was but with less of the zone locking, one locked zone is plenty to work on.
I drew PoP because Fanra quoted "In the vast and treacherous Reef of Coirnav, where shimmering depths and powerful currents ruled", which Reef of Coirnav is the other name for plane of water. Why are you thinking Rallos?
At least one of the zone names directly refers to the Nokk Ogres (the people that inhabited Crescent Reach before the Drakkin) and Rallos is connected to Ogres. Another one directly references the Ankexfen (goblin precursor race) - also connected to Rallos. Oddly though, another is the Unkempt Woods (north of the Plains of Karana), and another is Timorous Falls (likely connected to Timorous Deep - which is the ocean south of Faydwer and surrounding Kunark). While there's certainly some water themes going on with Laurion and Timorous, there are other themes that don't necessarily indicate the entire expansion is based off of PoP.
You know, since this is a fantasy world with teleportation, there's no rule that says they can't have each zone from a totally different area...
Definitely! I'm merely confused and intrigued as to how the expansion is going to connect the lore for the Nokk, Ankexfen (Rallos; Antonica), with the undead and werewolves (Unkempt Woods; Antonica), with Laurion (Plane of Water), and Timorous (Faydwer/Kunark/Water), and the elements I don't recognize like whatever Pal`Lomen is about. I'm looking forward to this expansion and seeing what they do with the lore.
Could be like SoD, with a lot of seemingly random zones connected by a central story, with some sort of hub/gateway zone.
It possibly extends some of also the lore from the anniversary quests at least the one about finding the non stupefied Ogres/Giants/etc Rallos Creations who were hidden away during the Rathe Invasion thing as well as the Nokk mission from CR
Problem with that lore is it can't really be sourced anywhere? Unless it was lost to time Looking at google for them there is basically nothing of old pop era lore about it Otherwise possibly not many if any of the zones sound Plane like
I’m thinking that the anniversary mission has a abit of lore for this expansion also, just like last years was about the spirits and stuff in Shar Vahl leading us to NoS
Was the plane of water pretty un popular? Doing anything in water seems like pretty bad game play in EQ.
From the datamined zone name list it doesnt seem like there is a water zone, but if there is I doubt there will be any underwater fighting. Look at ocean of tears or the buried sea. Lots of water but content is still on land.
