Wasn't SoD from the giant king?

SoD was from a warder.

Don't mean to derail but what was the original intent for loot in PoM? Was it unfinished or was the tables populated as intended? I have so many great pics i'll upload later.

Given the history of SoE, I am guessing it just was never finished. Besides the resist flower hat things, I don't recall anything else worth a damn there. It was just a hidden "bonus" zone for the most part.

There was class armor too. At least the chest pieces were there. The druid twisted nature was pink, had one.

Yeah it was unfinished and was going to be where you kill Bristlebane. They eventually finished it in a later expansion.

All of the class armor was in there and some had some odd clickies. Every BP had ring of misty from what I remember. Also the resist items.

I am kind of amazed how much detail some of you guys remember from EQ, then again I can probably still run through the original Zelda blind and can remember what pipes to skip levels in Mario Bros, I can remember a ton of camps mobs / drops from EQ but some of the most obscure shit you guys are able to snap off is almost impressive. If only that information was useful in acquiring money or pussy, tis a shame otherwise this board could rule the world.

One thing EQ still has and old WoW had were some memorable entrances to shit.

This first pic was when a weird bug happened with items offered in the bazaar. You see the stats of the Cold Iron Bracer which are all messed up: way too high for the era. Skilmod Dodge of 75% is insane too. The effect is mentioned on ZAM (Alla's) but not linked to any item so I am thinking it may be a GM effect. (100% Memblur)

Second pic is of the Toll booth in the old Commonlands. Which were so much better then the generic looking shitty combined area they are now.

Last pic is one of the many Graffiti that the annoying Irontoe family left behind in the Qeynos Aquaducts: easily one of the coolest designed zones in MMO history.

Never finished. It was buggy as hell too. We looked at the original PoM several times over the years, hoping to finish the original version, but we never really had the time.

What was the intent? In the past, planes somewhat complimented each other in terms of gear, quest pieces, etc. but was not really sure what PoM's role was in the grand scheme of player/character progression. I'm a sucker for planes and EQ deity lore.

Notice this was on YouTube claiming to be the "original" version... not sure how far along this version was in development.

Fairly sure that froglok finished punching my magician in the face before going back to the tank, seeing how i was in the process of sitting down or standing up based on the pic. I'm assuming standing up after being hit.

Cybsled · Jul 25, 2017

I don't think there was a tank, we just brought a frog back to the zone in lol

I like how you guys dropped swords across the invis bridge. There was a baby mushroom mob at the start of the bridge. We would just chain fear the thing and it would path directly across the middle of it. Conga line to follow across, but you still always had a death or two. Fun times!

Schags · Jul 26, 2017

I've seen a monk dropping daggers fall off and 2-3 people followed him over the side after. Great stuff.

My original screenshots are lost to time but I managed to save the original NextGen articles featuring EQ (which ultimately led to me buying it and playing it obsessively)

RobXIII · Jul 28, 2017

Man they make it look awesome lol.

I think we sometimes forget just how revolutionary this was.... well, maybe that's a bit much but essentially every paper/pencil, TCG, and RPG we played suddenly came to life in a massive, online form.

Cybsled · Jul 30, 2017

Ah the time it was definitely revolutionary and it pretty much set the standard for MMOs afterwards in terms of base expectations for a MMO.

How the fuck some of you have personal computer pictures from that far back is remarkable af.

I posted about 1500 one time on an old old board (maybe early foh). I had it archived and treasured it. I lost it, and don't know how. Sucks. I had it through my entire EQ journey from 1999 to 2007 and wow did I have stories to tell.

Best story was the screenshots of the GMs forcing Faite and Xygon to roll for Emperor Ssra on Stromm server and Faite rolled a 100 and Xygon rolled a 2. hahaha. Then we killed him and RoI got the next spawn, which they managed to wipe on...

Shit was good times. I hate nostalgia threads.
