Well yea, now with all the major/modern changes to combat/spells. When it was released it was basically meant and tuned for lvl 70

GoD was tough even on the bleeding edge at the time. And there were a ton of complaints, but every expansion had issues. PoP is the expansion that was the beginning of end for our guild. We moved to FFXI for 6 months or so and let other guilds take over the server.
Then came back and crushed them.
That was fun for a bit. But EQ was over for most of us by that time.

Velious just had too much good shit. I rate it #1 but PoP is just too good too. Venturing into the planes is sweet. But Velious had tri-factions done right, dain ring war, DRAGONS, GIANTS, plane of mischief and even plane of growth... The Sleeper.. It's really crazy how much unique shit was fit into Velious. It's amazing they could never replicate it, no game has.

Yeah, I wasn't counting the newbie zones since I couldn't get exp there at lvl 50. VP was ok I guess, but the dragons were a lot harder for a whole bunch more of the same loot we got from naggy and vox. If I started playing EQ later on, or levelled up in Kunark I could see it being ok, but having been at max lvl with full raid gear when it came out, it fell way flat for me.

I think I might be the only person alive that enjoyed the fuck out of Uqua. The only thing that was annoying was being last on the list for the stat items, but aside from that I thought it was awesome. The raid split, the oven, the oh shit moments when someone died and started spawning shit and the awesome feeling when you recovered, the time limit to keep the pressure on. Shit was great.
I was a huge scrub when I first played and didn't really start getting into raiding until PoP. As a result, I never saw anything of Velious, no Kunark raids, and certainly nothing of vanilla. I'd love to try to get in on this (not the race part since I just don't have the time), but I dunno wtf I'd play. I've always been Iksar, so I'd have to wait a while for that and probably miss everything anyway. Will have to think about it, I guess.

These servers almost always have race change potions available by Kunark or shortly after so just roll any of the Iksar classes and change when Kunark launches.

Hail leezard brother,
On LJ the race change potions unlocked I think two weeks in and three at the latest.
I believe the cost is 2500 daybreak cash and you get 500 for each month you have a subscription as well as I think 10% discount on purchases from the store (so 2250). If you don't spend your resub money on dumb shit it hardly costs anything to do a Kunark race change.

When a zone reaches a certain threshold of players (varies by zone) a new instance is spawned that you can enter with the command /pickzone. When an instance spawns it's fully loaded with everything that isn't a raid boss. This includes things like long spawn epic quest guys even.
This new server as well as Phinny had raid instancing where in addition to the open world spawns everyone is familiar with you could also do each raid in your own private instance in a manner similar to what you would expect in a modern MMO. The casuals can still do the whole expansion once per week and then the big fish can do that plus claw at each other with rusty hooks trying to get the regular FFA spawns. On these servers raid bosses also spawn much more frequently so the open world stuff is a lot of stuff.

These days you can expect to raid all four classic raid targets in any given 24-48 hour period.

Power leveling in EQ for some reason is always one of my most fun activities for some reason, and yet I never make a Druid to start and then struggle hard. Maybe I won't make that mistake this time, however, without a static I know the stigma for druids in groups isn't that great.
