My Opinion as a casual player:

Kingdom of the Sky

Can't give you solid reasons except that I find myself still interested in the content of that expansion versus any of the others. I am walking through some of the grey quests just for the experience. The amount of content is huge.

2nd best: Original EQ2

Kunark is okay. As a soloing pally, the quests take forever but thats just the way I choose to play the game. I am sure the experience is different for groups and raids.

What are your thoughts?

To my mind, Kunark has been a lot of fun but I really enjoyed Faydwer the most. Even though I never got into playing the Fae, the new starting areas and most especially Kelethin & Butcherblock were really a blast to explore.

And the best adventure pack by far was Fallen Dynasty. The unique & interesting non-combat zone filled with unique quests and the themed housing item quest rewards as well as the diverse combat zones made for a very interesting diversion from the core game throughout those levels. I often found myself "grinding pirates" whenever I was playing solo and had some time to kill...

I've only done a little questing in KoS. Mainly because I suck at that first jump off the island into the water. Smiley: frown

my favorite has been Kunark so far. Lots of great new places to level for both low and high ends. New great races, raid zones, lots of lore. Quests are plentiful and the cash is easy to get. KOS was probably the one I did not like the most. I dont know I just didnt see it tying in as much to the lore and it seemed out of place.

My favorite would have to be Faydwer...cant give real reasons but i did a lot more there than anything else and i liked the zones heh

TSO might change that though, it seems interesting.

You do know that once you leap into the abyss you can still "move" using the arrow keys or wasd, right???

Seems to me that I died a lot until I learned that I could steer around on the way down... haven't landed without a big splash since!!!

Yeah, I move when I'm plummeting at 100 mph toward the pool, I just have horrible aim. Smiley: frown haha

Best expansion so far imo is EoF, added an excellent starting zone and alot of content for all lvls. It was the first expansion that players of any lvl had the option to go out and explore the new content and enjoy it.

Faydwer for me, adding new zones to all the levels and improving the AA system, interesting and fun zones, the Fae themselves,...

Sure, I was disappointed by Butcherblock though, way too small, but other than that, well Unrest was pretty disappointing too imo, that should have been a multi level dungeon like Nek Castle.

I liked Faydwer more then any of them. I probably disliked DOF the most. It was just boring and I swear I never once found 1 piece of loot out of all the crap I did there.

for me, its a toss up between EoF and RoK, but EoF has a very slight lead simply because of the fact that there is something for every level there, whereas RoK has to "piggy-back" off of EoF when the people starting in Gorowyn hit level 20 (nothing new there at that point and the quests send you to BBM). but overall, I like both. but like many have posted, DoF was probably the worst expansion. don't get me wrong, I think it was good as a first attempt at an expansion, and they definately improved the quality and such with each succeeding expansion (very slight downhill with RoK, but looks like they are gonna pick it up a little when TSO come out).

So there you have it. my faves in order
EoF
RoK(VERY close second)
KoS
original EQ2
DoF (only real reason I go there is for the carpet quest, and to harvest. like harvesting there more than in LFay for that tier).
