Favorite zone is Umbral Plains.

Started with a druid main when Luclin was launched. I just remember getting to the mid 40s and hearing about the Elysian drops from the remains in the zone. And then venturing through the scary Maiden's Eye zone alone. After a few deaths, finally making it to UP and then a few more deaths to make it to the remains. And that's when the real fun started.

I've accomplished "much greater things" in EQ since, but nothing will ever replicate the thrill of fighting the skeletons in UP.

Well being a paladin since 1999... I feel like it was a calling and when i picked this class it was natural... tank and healing rolled into one... my guild leader at the time Ssoulswiper required me to camp the dreaded DA hammer for 2 weeks till i got it for rampage tank :-)

Lower Guk, nostalgia favorite. Back when you would claim 2-3 mobs at most and then wait for responds due to 100 people in zone.

Second would have to be Ruins of Illslan, because of how amazing it was to swarm 100 mobs there and PL alts and friends for days.

It's sort of a tie for me between
Kael Drakkel from original Scars of Velious - loved being a halfling with such tall friends
-and-
Anywhere in Scars of Velious that I could murder those stupid Coldain dwarves with their Charles Manson wannabe tattoo on their forehead

Started  in Qeynos an still get nostalgic when I hear the music in there. Overall I think Shard's Landing is my favorite due to the ease of getting around the Zone, the quests and the hole in the middle!

Lower Guk (undead side) was my favorite zone - it was fun with Ghoulbane.  Started as a cleric in Qeynos on Luclin server in March 2000. Grouped with some guy and he suggest me to play a paladin after seeing me meleeing mobs. So I rerolled and rest is history.

Good luck to everyone! As someone who has played Paladin for over 20 years (across multiple servers) this would be a fun thing to win!

My favorite zone will always be estate of unrest. I love the zone, the mobs, the lore, how you can go from 10-35 in there, and the old school models of the zombies and skellies i will always love. Brings a lot of nostalgia back to my time when i started playing at 10 years old with my dad.

Unrest as a Paladin, and doing neekid corpse runs from Butcherblock and trying to avoid aqua goblins in Dagnors

As a level 10 dark elf I travel to the field of bone. I had a monk friend who played an iksar. I grew to love the field of bone. I would lev and work my way on top of Kurns tower. I would sit up there on the ledge, and watch the magical sunsets. It is a zone full of beauty and wonder. It was the gateway to 20 years of imagination and adventure for me. The field of bone will always hold a special pace in my heart. When I logged out of everquest in 2008 I logged out sitting on top of Kurns tower in the field of bone. When I logged back in 2020. This is where my adventure began again.

Favorite Zone - Oasis of Marr .. Mostly for the memories of playing there for ages in toons early teens. The crocs, and orcs.. Every so often someone would train out the Spectre...  To many days grinding away in pick up groups trying to get that next yellow.. DING..

My favorite zone in EverQuest is the Kedge Keep. Although it's not the most popular zone, it stands out to me for a few reasons. The underwater environment is unique in comparison to the typical land-based zones, creating a different challenge that requires adapting your playstyle, like managing breathing, movement, and combat. The vertical design and eerie atmosphere, combined with the fact that it's not heavily populated, give it a mysterious and isolated feeling that I always found compelling.

Beyond the mechanics, I also have strong memories of adventuring there with my guild. Because Kedge Keep is one of those lesser-visited zones, it felt like we were exploring something special and off the beaten path. We had a lot of fun overcoming the unusual challenges and, as a team, figuring out how to survive and make it through the zone.

I'm a big fan of Sebilis! I still hop in there to see what's up and run around. There's so much nostalgia of spending evenings there with friends!
