Out of the 10 Expansions..Follow

Get rid of DoD it sucks big time monster missions are just good for those ebay jackass to make there toons and sell them off. IT got tooooooooooo much exp should make it a blue and thats it. Items should grow with your toon also and it would be alot better. When is sony going to crack down on these ebay baster? I'm sick of it they need a server call it old school or old world preluclin when you had to work for your ****. Nothing wrong with twinking just like to see people get some quests done and not go for high end exp places. They need to make all the zones the same exp maybe some a bit higher then others. But not such a differance where you can to one zone over another.
Just my 2 copper!

Ive liked most of the expansions to date, although I really do think LoY could have just been a patch. Other than that, LDoN is probbly my least favorite because the experience sucks, and the dungeons have a 'cookie cutter' feel to them. Not to mention the missions can take forever to complete.

I really like Kunark and Velious when they came out, would be hard for me to pick a favorite between the two. Luclin was alright, but wasnt the same for me the first two Verant made. I took a long break right around the release of PoP. I simply wasnt that interested in the new content.

I made a few short returns to eq during PoP, LDoN, and GoD eras, but mostly hunted in velks. It wasnt till OoW came out that I really got interested in the game again. I remember the first time I saw Draniks Scar... was beutiful.. tropical landscape, burning sky, gothic architecture... was very impressed. I havent been able to put the game down since!

Sony's other expansions are nice too. PoP and Planar Progression was a great concept, however now days the amount of time needed to spend on it isnt worth the rewards (even in potime). GoD has a very unique feel to it. Sort of like an ancient Babylon, and the mobs still provide reward and challenge. They really went right with DoN: has a very diverse and rewarding progression system, the zones are beutiful, the raids provide fun and unique challenges and strategy needed to overcome them, the guild lobby and halls, the whole revamped idea of mission rewards pretty much went right everywhere ldon went wrong. DoN is really a great expansion.

Lastly, although some people really dont like DoD, I am a big fan. Its pretty much the same concept as Forgotten Realms Underdark, of which Ive always been a huge fan. The missions can be very challenging, and provide nice rewards. Still trying to kill that ***** hivequeen!!! The only thing I dont care for in the expansion are the monster missions. Although I cant argue with a free aa here and there, I really think it will lower the skill level of up and coming players and in the end have a horribly negitive effect on the game.

In the end I voted for OoW. I love the ominous look and feel of the zones and the content they provide, even if DoN has a better progression system.

I voted Velious simply because there were so many awesome zones and things to do. Everything was so well done, and it created so many challenges for single groups and small raids.

1. Crystal Caverns (absolute brilliance in zone design...don't go through your 30's without spending time here).
2. Velks Lair (more brilliant design...with huge improvements after the zone upgrade).
3. Kael Drakkal (was there anybody in EQ who did not like this zone? I rememember when it first came out, everybody was scared to death of it, it was a real challenge to try and get through to WL (there was no fixed invis at that time).
4. Coldain Ring War number 7 in Great Divide is the single greatest event that Verant/SOE has ever done as far as I'm concerned.
5. Lodizal
6. Tradeskills

There were also some stinkers. I didn't care for ToFS, WL, Skyshrine or Temple of Veeshan, but there were so many other great things it doesn't matter. I still refuse to destroy my Thurgadin amor. I'm waiting until we get apartments, so I can hang it on the wall.

You would have to understand Velious in context of the fact that the level cap at the time was 60. It was exciting and different from the Kunark expansion, and for those of us just barely 30, kind of scary at the time. Maps weren't a part of the game, so you could wander these vast zones looking for the portal to Growth or the orc fort in Wakening Lands.

The very first raid I ever attended was Kael. Getting a prayer shawl was just as exciting as getting your epic, and far more difficult to achieve. We were on dwarf faction, so I never hunted NToV, but the Hall of Testing was a great way to spend a weekend afternoon, even after PoP and Luclin were available.

I actually voted for all the old world, just cause there is so much lore and content out there. I still wish Sony would update the mobs and loot tables so that those zones would be viable. Great graphics are neat, but the story line is what is important. It is sad to run into Thurgadin to buy velium and find no one at all in what was once a busy trade center.

Killing a demi-god. Mayong Mistmoore ftw!

it was depths of dark hollow until they made all the mission impossible :"(
they were hard enough before now i bet you cant get em done with a raid!
I wish sony would stop putting out something really good then wreck it a month later :(
I looking into other games I am tired of it.

Killing Mith Marr isnt a headhunt. Mith Marr sends out an open invitation for a friendly fight to anyone willing.

Umm they made the missions easier not harder (unless you're refering to the monster missions in which case it was very much deserved. Monster missions allowed too much xp for no risk whatsoever.) I really enjoy DoD missions. They take a lot of challenge to beat and the rewards are usually pretty good.

Kunark did not introduce a new playable class that was lucin
you prolly ment to say new playble race

I can think of better ways to spend your honey moon but you probably played eq in between "sessions" lol

I actually really liked LoY. I think it gets the brush-off because it had so few zones (but to be fair it cost about 30% as much as a normal expansion at release) but the ones it has are well done. I still love Nadox and think the expansion had some very well done models, good loot for the risk (at the time.. mudflation and all that) and an all around good time. I imagine the raids were never amazing but, for single group content, it was (and is) good times.

Gates of Discord for the abundance of challenging, innovative content for both raids and groups and first full implementation of instanced content (I don't count LDoN because instancing was still in the fledgling stage, no adding after start, /shiver).

Close second would be Velious for the necessity of picking a side and the fact that all sides worked up to the mid-high end for you, great for both casuals and raids.

After that it gets a bit blurry... I'd rank it :

Ruins of Kunark
Omens of War, Shadows of Luclin, Planes of Power
Dragons of Norrath, Lost Dungeons of Norrath
Ykesha (I love the models and designs, but in terms of content it's a little... lacking...)
