i have to give the expansion a major thumbs up. i spent alot of time in kelethin in eq1, and while this city brings back nostalgia i also love the improvements to it. and i know alot of people dont like the hazards of gfay, but i like the scenery and the cluster compared to the wide open flat zones. adds an element of mistery and i think more involvement since you actually have to find your way instead of just picking a direction and running. ive spent so much time there ive gotten to know the inns and outs of that zone fairly well. which is great for the times i take group members cliff hoping and they panic thinking they will die, but end up with just the right amount of hit points left :D just goes to show furys can be mischevious too hehe
i also am loving having my ports back.
i started tinkering, and cried my way through the first few tiers, but now that im higher up in it, im really enjoying it. the foraging is a pain, but i get tons of nifty lil toys to make now and it makes up for it.
i've also been helping to get my brother started on transmuting, and thats actually been fun too, and now that i know all the lil tricks to it, i think i'll be makin a transmuter of my own.
the only negative i see is the limited number of instances for the lower tiers.
most of the ones made though are interesting, ive mentored others with my fury several times just to be able to do innovation. :D
