I haven't done the TLP train like a lot have, but I can easily say that GoD and OoW are my favorite expansions thus far (at OoW on Mangler). People who never see those expansions are doing themselves a disservice.

GoD basically was the deathknell of EQ for many players, me included, due to SOE's greed at trying to sell GoD and OoW as two seperate expansions instead of one level-appropriate one. GoD content was initially tuned to level 70 which wasn't available until OoW. Needless to say the shitstorm on the forums and the subsequent nerfing in difficulty levels did nothing to improve SOE's already turd-like reputation.

LDoN always felt like an experimental expansion.
Can we make instanced content work kinda thing.
They all get a bit blurry around that time. I hardly remember anything about LoY.

LDON had the same soulless computer generated dungeons that were just random square rooms joined together, same as that vampire add on pack for EQ2. Almost like an intern was in charge of the whole thing when compared to hand crafted dungeons with character (Guk, SolA even Velks
)It was probably the same goddamn intern that said 'Yep, this new Freeport is much better!'

I liked LDoN in concept although the execution wasn't great. Coming from an EQ with no pickzones, having a dungeon specifically for your group and a points rewards system where you were (if you didn't get a drop) at least working towards a reward was a decent motivator.
It could have been really great if the dungeons had been more inspired, some storytelling opportunities were left unused there. Some minibosses and visual progress through a dungeon (think Deadmines) could have made it a standout expansion. As it was, the "dungeon" expansion had the least interesting dungeons of all EQ expansions.

I remember when it came out at the time the loot was ok unless you were in the top guilds, most of it was upgrades.

Yeah, and sharing the same zone for raids hurt the raids too. There never was any sense of awe or uniqueness to the raids because you'd seen everything before. It'd been like if Seb just had a bunch of frogs milling about in Trak's area 90% of the time or something.
