The area where i feel everquest fell short was in the planes. All the plaines are roughly the size of misty thicket. The plane of Hate should be a relm that is the size of antonica at least, full of its own lore and mystery. It's kind of hard to take a god serious when all they rule over is a misty thicket sized plot of land lol. All the original continents up to velious were believable from coast to coast and gave the world realism and really set the stage for the lore of norrath. I would trade all the content after velious for full sized fleshed out planes. I definitly do not want to end up on the moon lol. Where do you take the game after the original continents and the planes? Spit out a new continent that doesent really tie in with the others and take everyone away from what is essentially Norrath? No thanks. When i log into Everquest i want to be in Norrath and its planes. The stage was set more or less at the Velious expansion.
