Will you be buying Verant's next $30 expansion pack, Planes of Power?

Of course I for 1 like exploring more and more with my friends. I think PoP will be a good addition, but we'll have to see)

Buyin' it. The SS's look great, I've always wanted to put the beatdown on Karana, and talk up up with Erollisi.

i heard that the lvl limit is going to be increased to 75...thats about the only thing i think is gonna suck about it

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » August 1, 2002, 12:42 pm

I doubt the level limit raises at all, myself.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » August 1, 2002, 12:45 pm

i dont think they can raise the level limit.

would totally trivialize older content.

basically all they can do is add some new raid mobs and more fatty loots.

the players are way too powerful as it is now.

I agree with "depends on how many other play" and such.

$30.00 ain't shit. I'm certian I'll get my moneys worth.

As long as it's not zone after zone of lame ass timesinks (ala emperor keys, seru keys, vt keys. acrylia keys, etc) I'm sure I'll have fun. If that's all it is though I don't think I'll be playing it that much.

e Planes of Power™
The launch of EverQuest® in March 1999 changed the world of massively multiplayer online gaming forever. Since then we have brought you a new playable race of lizard men called the Iksar in EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark™, ancient enemies and new adventures on the frozen continent of Velious in EverQuest: The Scars of Velious™, and a completely graphically overhauled world, the enchanting moonscape of Luclin, mounts, and a new playable race of noble cat people, the Vah Shir, in EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin™. Now players will soon be able to face the most powerful deities in all of Norrath. We are excited to announce the next installment in the best-selling, critically acclaimed EverQuest series, EverQuest: The Planes of Power™.

An arcing storyline takes players on an epic adventure through the Planes of Power, home of the Gods of Norrath. Veteran players will face new challenges in each of up to 18 newly discovered planes. Players of all levels will benefit from the Plane of Knowledge that hosts scores of new quests and opens portals to Norrath making travel easier than ever. Hundreds of new items, quests and encounters will keep even the most veteran of players challenged and enthralled.

Battle the minions of Rallos Zek in the Plane of War; help Karana regain control of the Plane of Storms; overcome vile pestilence in the Plane of Disease!

You're in their worlds now!

EverQuest: The Planes of Power Features List:

Up to 20 new planar zones that push your teamwork abilities to the limit
Hundreds of new items and monsters
Exciting new quests and challenges await even the most experienced players
Two planar cities that provide hubs for travel and player interaction
A central storyline links the content from every zone into one compelling quest.
Further character progression making players even more powerful

got this right from the everquest site notice the last line of the features... further character progression making players even more powerful... also heard at Origins gaming con that they were increasing the lvl limit ( personally myself i hope they dont gaining another 15 lvls will suck

Nah ... they will have some Librarian NPC that goes "Shhhh" when you do.

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » August 1, 2002, 2:18 pm

DTs for folks who use /shout and /ooc would be better. Last couple times we did ToV /ooc was filled with the same mindless spew that DL/Seb/VL are.

Blech.

Aslanna · Post by **Aslanna** » August 1, 2002, 3:02 pm

"further character progression making players even more powerful" != Higher level cap.

Look at Luclin. There was character progression (Alt-Levels) without increasing the player levels.

sadf? Players in EQ are ridiculously weak. My main beef with EQ is spending 60 RL days to become the best you can possibly become, just to get swatted aside like a bug by some level 53 froglok. The balance of power is so outrageously skewed that it just isn't any fun.

I wouldn't feel particularly powerful spending 30 minutes beating on some snake moon man with 80 of my closest friends.

Adding 15 levels is just lengthening the treadmill though.

Can you say Luclin? Hasn't Manaburn pretty much trivialized most Kunark content? You can't say that they won't for that reason... Pick another.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » August 1, 2002, 6:48 pm

kyoukan: players are way more powerful now than when you stopped playing. any melee with his class title can probably own the Illis you are referring to.

bippen: because what does 15 levels of ATK do for melee?

makes manaburn look like ice comet.

mob ac will have to be jacked to like 4000 and they'll have to have lure AE slows/atk debuffs/silence/blind/death touch/shadowstep/you name it to last more than 15 mins after a server fart.

In The Hole there is a door near Yael that leads to a 'mystery place'... This is an entrance to a plane - probably the Plane of Disease or something I forgot the name... Exciting - eh?

plane of underfoot alledgedly

plane of underfoot alledgedly

<humor
It's the plane of "Fook, I can't get back past the door I squeezed through"

I predict it will be keyed with norent/not soulbound drop from Yael that every player must posses to enter.
/humor>

I'd be perfectly happy if that really is the entrance. Would discourage 95% of the server from ever going. Make Yael a 12 hour pop while thier at it to keep the vultures out ala NToV.
