Now that is the zone of all zones. 2 HQs, thousands of Orcs to slaughter and elves to save What could be better? Mega Harvesting regions althought EL is the best harvest region in the game until RoK came out.

Second best zone is the FENS. Really nice KILLER enviroment, awesome quests and harvests all over the place in bunches.

Third best zone was in EQ1…. THE DEEP….. The not so real bridge. What a laugh I had as I lead my guild mates on that fake bridge and laughed myself silly as we all fell to our deaths I was not liked very much after that thou

Are you taking the opportunity to do the Mara Harvesting quests as you work on your foresting?

I’ve just managed to get my main high enough to start questing there, which I’ve been looking forward to since my first day in the game. Gained a few levels so far, and it’s still a nice place.

I’ve played EQ, EQ2, WoW, Vanguard, LOTRO, Eve, and probably a few other MMOs, and they all had their beautiful zones. Veeshan’s Peak and Everfrost in EQ, Moors of Ykesha in EQ2, Caverns of Time in WoW, just about everything in Eve, and other zones in other games that I can’t even remember!

IMHO, finding and exploring those beautiful zones is one of the most rewarding parts of playing an MMO.

Another zone that I adore is East Karana from old school EQ. When you first enter the zone from the west side, you enter it by crossing this huge wooden bridge with massive chains. You have a giant cyclops running around slaughtering people, which is always a bonus. However, the thing that branded this zone into my memory was the end of the Karanas and the path up up and up into the Highpass Hold area. Step off the edge and you plummet to your death. It was just so epic.

I remember my second or third day in EQ I was stationed out in the Qeynos area. My friends were stationed in Freeport. In order to be near them I decided to join up with a group ( my FIRST group in EQ btw ) who were making the trek across the world to Freeport. The entire way we were on edge. The trip took a long time to make and only one of us thought they knew the way. During this trip, we rested on the giant chain bridge and clung to the side of the cliff wall leading to Highpass for dear life. Kithicor was also terrifying during this trip. It was the perfect way to begin my days with EQ. I got this feeling that the world was massive in size and that there was limitless adventure to be had out there. PLUS, this was only one of THREE continents!

I better stop now. I could list half a dozen other zones that I loved from EQ.
