 During the course of my development of Tier 11, it has become clear that I need to start with a smaller zone, with less complexity, and a limited number of bosses (likely 2), so I'm asking for some input on which small zone you would like to see used for this development? My initial thought was Befallen or Unrest, mostly because I spent a lot of time in them in original EQ and they are geographically small, but I'm not stuck on those. I'd asked in OOC yesterday, and Kerra Isle and Crushbone were both mentioned as possibilities, so I've added them as well. Someone also mentioned Runnyeye, that person, along with whoever designed Runnyeye, was drunk. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know in the comments. This will be a max level zone, as most developments will be, but will be very difficult, despite having few bosses.

Don't forget that Crushbone. Unrest. and Befallen are used for FG/CG quest drops.  Shocked
How about Skyshrine... got to love da maze. Grin

I'd suggest in no order
1: Karnor's castle - set up pretty well for 2-3 bosses but
2: Veeshan's peak - Might be better for more than 2 bosses
3: Kurn's tower - Might feel too much like TOFS and huge chance of stuff pulling through walls i bet
4: Fungus Grove - start-end progression possible
5: The Deep - HAHA BRIDGE
6: Akheva Ruins - designed for a 1-2 boss zone
7: Split paw - because almost no one went past the entrance on live

Tacvi is already on my radar for something else, so we'll avoid that for now.

I like Karnor's Castle as well, so I've added that. Several of the other zones are a little physically large, but again, I'm open if people overwhelming want something not listed in the poll.

Original zones would remain as they are, as they relate to existing quests and such. If a zone is used it would be assigned a different zone id.

Crushbone was always my favorite zone, very compact and fun.  "Train to zone!" was coined here

Karnors is always fun!  More room to play and good layout.

Thanks Draca for the efforts!!

Another Vote for  Karnor's here.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. May God have mercy on your soul.

It's not a tier, it's not even half a tier. It's more of a development exercise, but with some fun loot and boss fights.

so it is like T10.75?

Sure, let's call it 10.65, because there's probably going to be a 10.85 as well before Tier 11.

Also, as this goes forward, either I will, or won't let you know what's required to enter these zones. There will be no one with special information. Yes, I'm friends with a few people in the guild I've been in, yes, a few people have my phone number, but they won't get anymore information than you do, regardless of how they contact me. Part of what makes new content fun, and interesting, is the unknown, I'm not putting this work in to spoil it.

That being said, if you can get into Sleeper, you can get into this zone...

Karnor's Castle has TERRIBLE pathing fyi. May be fixed at this point though with path patches in EQEmu. Just thought I should mention.

It’s been ok so far in some loose testing I’ve been doing, but I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks Sarthin.
