Long run? SK every damn time. If you aren't going to stay until TSS+? Warrior. The SK toolkit gets massive once you get into Luclin and beyond. Aggro spells. DS goodness. Taps that don't suck. And you become an xp machine once you have the spells and AAs to swarm. Also where you become PL king.

They should never open a new TLP just before a major US holiday. Memorial Day weekend is for sitting on the beach sipping margaritas, not neck bearding EQ.
Early May would be much nicer.

There's nothing confirmed. I can certainly believe that they had some kind of Gates of Discord start penciled in two months ago but we'll have to say if they stay the course.

For someone who never played past PoP
Would GoD start totally change the leveling path or are people still going to be doing the normal starting zones/dungeons?
Is Gfay>CB>Unrest still a viable path or is everyone going to be on some extraterrestrial planet getting mad exp?

There's a reason when GoD was new back then, we called it GoDamn.
Mobs are:
- Hard hitting
- HP beefy
- Equipped with innate racial DD procs like Ukun Claws

I don’t remember the hp being all that high, but the rest was true. Everything hit crazy hard and runs at selo speed
You are not thinking about enchanters charm wrecking zones though, I don’t think that got nerfed until OoW.

Not ghastly high, no, but it didn't feel very efficient to me running a few of my lvl 65 characters there on live a few months ago.
This is true. My EQ experience and the lens I view it through was always as a cle. That's how I liked my groups... tight knit, good communication, with a beefy tank, CC and dps'ing. Charm was always a messy means to an end imo, but I appreciated seeing a good talent making the best of that mess.
Felt like every time I got an enchanter that wanted a mob as a pet, they'd get bored, haste it, and charm would break right as I'm CH'ing the tank and either the chanter would just melt after charm broke and we'd wipe or the mob would low-hp aggro on the tank I'm CH'ing and he'd die and we'd wipe LoL. Maybe I just knew too many bad enchanters that couldn't control their pets well, who knows. Enchanter, like a bard, is such a nuanced class where skill really is evident. The times when I was around a skilled enchanter always felt like a blessing of comfort as a cle... was a sight to behold.

Well, many GOD zones you can't charm anything. So it's kind of an indirect nerf then. Vxed charm is still pretty legit though.
OoW definitely nerfs charm and it's kind of a shit trade-off because you do much less DPS but when it breaks it's not like they are nerfed on DPS.

TLP enchanters have dramatically higher defense skill caps than they had back in original Kunark/Velious era so they don't melt nearly as quickly as they used to. On P99 they still cap at 145 defense, I forget what the TLP limit in Velious is but it's probably around 200 if not more.

Enchanters on a fresh TLP would ding 50 with three pieces of cloth and 33 defense skill. On Selo the initial level cap was 60 and it was the same thing. All the fast groups charmed. Given the way defense is gained (enemy has to miss you for a chance at a skill up) all those Enchanters had dogshit defense skills at 60 even with the faster skill gains on that server.
