Wow you blasphemous fuckers hating on Kunark. You should be ashamed. Kunark #1 EQ expansion ez.
Also, necro raid dps in Kunark? I don't remember. Was always number one on my SK and by huge margins.
At least if they weren't beating on on basically everything in VP and Trak
You pretty much have to bribe bards to do a VP key though, there are very few drops worth it in there for them that aren’t All/All.
Next server needs to eliminate keys from Kunark to PoP and only do the raid flagging from PoP and on.
What I've wanted for a while now is a new game plus version of EverQuest. Go back and revamp Classic and Kunark with a full retooling of items and raids, jack up the difficulty, include Beastlords and Berzerkers, and let 'er rip. With some better itemization, some new raid mechanics (that you can just copy and paste from other shit found in the rest of the game's fifty expansions), and more class options at the start I think people would really be in to it.
Either way, i dominated damage meters on most Kunark content - VP included. Had one legendary Nexona where our 3-4 tanks died and where i ended up tanking and doing like 50% more damage than second place ( @9:15).
Not doubting you bros on the necros, it just wasn't the case with us. Our meters in Kunark were always either monk or SK.
They should just end live progression and use that funding to restart with Classic, creating an alternate timeline from there, retaining the spirit of Classic - PoP with an alternate story and modernized raid content while reusing old assets.
