PoN and PoD were always fun.
PoV's desert corner was always a good place to kite golems for aa's while you wait for a real grp.
I'm not Sure Sol Ro Tower is a lower tier plane, but it does have cool music and no zone out

don't forget Giant Flaming Dudes! It has that too!
Of the zones I have been to..
PoJ and Pov have old re-hashed models for most of their mobs. Tribunal area in PoJ is kind of neat though.
PoI has different mob models but the basic spartan design leaves you wanting.
PoN a bit starker in contrast to the rest.
PoD: Raiding Grummus was interesting visually.
BoT I have not seen much outside of a castle interior.
PoS just the zone in.
Not much if any in the others.
Tower of Solusek Ro: I like the GIANT encompassing feel you get, the huge stairs that jolt you as you walk up. You really feel SMALL there. And of course the Giant Flaming Dudes...

I picked Nightmare because when PoP first came out, this was where we went. I remember that it was exciting and scary...specially the hobgoblins. OMG something is hitting me for over 300! How do they expect us to be able to handle that??
3 years of mudflation later and it's now gimpy content but when it first came out, it was exciting. Can't expect much more than that.

First off plane of mischief is not a PoP plane so wouldn't be involved in this. I voted no opinion since the ones that stand out most to me are higher tier like plane of fire.

oops, was going to protest the absence of PoMischief (my Graceland) until I realized that it officially counts as an old-world plane, not a PoP plane....

Hmm, none of the PoP planes really "stand out" to me. They all have their one or two high points, but I've always thought PoP was where SOE really started to lose creativity and start pumping out carbon-copy clones of zones.
If I were to pick from the choices given, I'd have to say HoH, because I like brightly lit zones - it's harder to hide bad graphics in brightly lit zones, or PoJ, because I liked the whole "7 trial" idea.
--Nik, who plays on a server that HAS Plane of Mischief v1.0, Al'Kabor. :D

They should probably add sol ro since it is hella easy to get now and it is a badass plane.
But seriously WTF with BoT.......you can get better EXP in PoV and less trains......

Sol Ro Towers is really cool in design but the STAIRS make fighting mobs sometimes very difficult...My vote was HOH...and yes, pulls come very steady and zone is often vacant and its DROOGIE friendly!!!!! WOOT.
BoT itself is a very cool zone. 4 wings, plus a court yard, and 4 towers. So it's 9 themes in one zone.
It has decent loot (during its days. of course the loot is grimp 7 expensions later. what era isn't?), decent exp. There are baby mini, mini and tower bosses for various level of groups. (if those stupid 6 boxer isn't prem camping there and leap forge race them). Exp is not as fast as in PoV but it's more challanging with more loot.
It is when SoE decided to open up the zone to anyone above level 62, even without keys messed up the zone's population. It became a super crowded train central. Also, stay away from the boring LE camp and no train will hit you.
Don't hate the game, hate the players.

I like Nightmare because I just enjoy the atmosphere. Then again I always like the freaky places in games. Don't care about enjoyability; if I counted that I'd say PoJ, but the atmosphere to the zone itself is far inferior to the genuinely creepy atmosphere to Nightmare.

I think PoJ was the wow zone when PoP first came out. Basement was always camped and the first time I zoned into the Tribunal area I was mistified. I sat there the first night and just watched the room spin for hours..lol.
I say PoN was the better low tier plane because of all the hassle that it caused many a player willing to chance their skills. But then again my heart has always had a crush on BoT (

BoT
Its easy to navigate around there, the mobs are a nice challenge, and exp isn't bad. Its my favorite place to be with my Pally.

I personally never liked any of the listed zones. Sure at certain levels some of them are great xp but when u spend enough time in them replayability is really low.
The most evil of all of them without a doubt is BoT. It is like paludual caverns basically where all the newbs and PLers come.
There are also the demonic bot tower named farmers who are basically FFA types who like to pretend they are on a red server. They also will ks others if they find a wing named up if they get a chance. Typical ppl tend to box 2-3 to kill a named.
I think I'll stop now before I go on a bot rant.

Crypt of Decay!! Had way too much fun raiding Grumus with only 25 people. Everyone to the southwest corner! Raid Puller coming thru to zone with diverson train! ( RIP brave bard ) Haul *** thru the tunnel and pound Grumus to jelly, let the pre-planed guildy loot and evacuate out befor repops. Sigh... those were the good old days.
Sol Ro tower is the best plane

to affirm, yes Bot blows goats. being a Gnome and a tinkerer Innovation is my fav for atmosphere, but nothing beats PoHate and PoMischief. but as far as PoP planes yea torment pretty cool too. ^^
I really enjoy Sol Ro, it's probably my favorite so far. The place is just huge :)
I've been to BoT a few times, and my experiences have been pretty decent. I like how the zone is laid out. There do tend to be more 'asshats' in the zone than in others, but, when you get past that it's a fun zone to play in.
