Nektulos 3.0Follow

The only thing sexier than the new Nek is the loverly dark elf ladies in it! Sharr-wing baby!

I like it. Version 3.0 feels more like a forest that if you stray off the beaten path, who knows what evil you will encounter.

Yes the 2.0 Nek was easier to navigate, but that was the ONLY thing it had going for it. Nek 3.0, while a bit more difficult to navigate (at first), it looks far superior and pays a proper respect to the original zone. That first revamp was a first rate disaster.

I dont like it I think they should leave zones like nektulos and Ro alone looked better in its classic style.

The Newbie log is back!

MY 2cp

It seems the forest are not that scary anymore lol. Have the Dark Elves finally gave up being evil and join the Tunare forces? I like the 2.0 for it shows how an evil forest supposed to be like. Remember the bridge and the guards? This new forest almost look like Faydark *sigh whats happening to the world of Norrath

Personally, I like both 2.0 and 3.0, but for different reasons. 2.0 was much easier to get around in, once you forced yourself to forget the old layout, but the fact that the zone went through such a major change did bother me a bit. Then out comes 3.0, which has the feel of the old zone (yes, I missed the log too), but with updated graphics. So now I wonder who force-fed the idea of a zone layout redesign, and how much $hit did they get from people complaining about it. Apparently so much so, that they went back to something more like the old zone. I like change, but I'd rather see some other places get revamped too, like Qeynos.

What? Are you sure you were in Nektulos Forest and not Innothule Swamp? The only real water in the zone is the river that was always there. There's not a single island in the zone.

Fantastic! I LOVE the new Nektulos!

I hate hate hate the old school zone graphics. There is so much talent on the EQ Designer Team, they should really rework most, if not all, of those zones. All cities and their adjacents should be reworked imo. Nektulos 3.0 is fantastic because its literally Nek 1.0, but with updated graphics. EQ Team got it right this time-they didnt change anything, just updated the graphics. Best thing theyve done in a loooooong time.

Hope they revamp Neriak, Halas, Everfrost and Greater Faydark! Neriak: Has potential, making things glow eerie colors and making it look more subterranean. Halas and Everfrost....like I said, potential. Flat walls and a horrible looking frozen river could definatly use updates! Oh and Gfay....just look at what EQ2 did to their Gfay....took my breath away. Beautiful. Im sure most of the wood elves would appreciate a more "forest" look to their home city :D

I dislike the "wannabe Morrowind" grass look, (I have NO idea what graphics they use in EQ2, as another posted). Not really in the zone enough to care about lag or pretty trees, but I do run through occaisionally. just another zone between where I am, and where i'm Going :)

The "new" Nek really is the original one with better graphics. 2.0 was nothing like the original geography of the game. It didn't even feel like the same zone.

I will admit distances of the 2.0 was nice for traveling through but the game geography shouldn't really change with new graphics the way that one did.

I agree with Cenadwen the only difference is better graphics and more lag

New Nektolus is clearly on par with the rest of the PoR zones / revamped old zones. I just wish Sony would revamp more of the old zones. Imagine a revamped North, West, South, East Karana with revamped Lair of King X and Split Paw! Make these fine old zones popular again, excellent exp zones for low level grinding. :)
