Interestingly, people always request old legacy Zones why Lillu always wants us to revamp new and modern zones (PoP+).

Im old school myself and believe old planes (Fear/Hate/Sky) were very well designed and just bring back old memories.

What do other people think?

IMHO, the Fear is just big open chunk of land - nothing really interesting there ;)
Hate - confusing, doesn't really ties with "hate" at all in my mind ;)
Now Sky - was a pinnacle of raiding, with all the islands and keys and riddles and so on, but time invested vs rewards gained was prabobly WORST out of all 3 original planes: there few uber items, but amount of time it took to obtain them, was simply outrages.

I myself never got into raid level until it was already PoP time, so to me, the bets of the best raid zones were Vex Thal (3 months key farming was totally worth it at the end), and from PoP Plane of Torment was my favorite. I also really liked Barindu, Riwwi and Ferubi - they were simply marvelous (never got past Kod Taz thought). I loved and feared at the same time, how devastating GoD mobs were, but rewards were equally amazing.

Out of zones that came after my time - Anguish, Riftseekers, and Dreadspire prabobly some of the most amazing zones

If you did PoFear pre-Kunark (and i don't mean in some exploit way like most Chinese/JPN guilds did back on Veeshan, e.g. zone in after server reload, gather and north wall and wait for the gm to pop the zone) then you knew why it was labeled fear plane. Keep in mind, that no Guildhall with summon Corpse stones existed etc etc. Losing your entire gear that was totally an option.

Agree on PoSky - the idea, quests etc totally awesome, the rewards were (beside the SHM FD earring) totally craptastic.

I really like PoHate hoping to see it as a custom raid zone :)

An idea could be to clear out a few mobs at zone in so it wont be to messy zoning in. I really like the bosses in hate, good lore and such and some cool events. Maybe make a few bosses script?

First floor could be one tier lower than second. Something like a teleporter npc and zone in that will port you to second floor once you have killed Maestro and received a new flag.

I love plane of time, I think it is one of the best raid tiers that sony / verant made for EQ. It's challenging, and it's fun all in the same. Something about going through and mowing down all of the gods is just so satisfying! I would loooooove to see PoTime here on THF would just make my day :)

I always loved Fear and the 'fear' it instilled for one line alone.


'It begins to rain blood.'

Always creeped me out as a kid.

I raided up to Anguish but my favorite zone was Time. Most memorable EQ moment on live was server first kill of Quarm. Most hated zone ever would be Uqua lol but hate would prob be up there but thats only because I was a mage and had to camp earth staff forever and
Sky was kinda lame cause I had to leave my char up there for over a month to CoH people hehe.

Yea that Crown in PoAir was such a joke. Poor Mages. Some other epics were so easy.
