Completing the prayer shawl aug 3.0. Having a way to keep mana up was so important. This expansion was a lot of fun.

My favorite part of Rain of Fear was revisiting velious zones and Plane of shadow was pretty awesome.

One of my favourite aspects of RoF is the new Kael zone

It really brought me back to my early days raiding and an embarrassing moment

I was in a new guild and on my first raid in Kael.....

I died on the raid and suddenly realized I had forgotten that I was bound in Vox's buff hall from the night before

What happened next was a spiral of deaths and multiple levels lost until we were able to time me logging back in with the cleric rez in Kael

Was the single most embarrassing moment in my EQ life, but such a silly story too

The portals were awesome in Shard's Landing. I also appreciated the aggro meter they added to help me with casting aggro so I didn't get hammered on in raids. ;D

Doing the questline for the augment from the npc at the Ring near the City of bronze zone line. having to jump down the huge crack in the middle of the zone in shards landing actually made my belly go when doing it as I wasn't sure if I was going to land ok or go splat...
And being a Barb Warrior with no lev ect that's scary stuff.

Aggro Meter. Can't wait until that's open on Phini.

Some people don't care for them, but I always enjoy the zone revamps. Going back and seeing old places again. I like that.

My absolute favorite is the Collection System. I love finding things that shine laying in the dirt, on the ceiling, under that mob that is going to wipe you out if he even gets a whiff of you!

With the guild I was in, in attempt to beat the big old eye in valley of King Xorbb. I think we were in a endless death spiral. When this raid was called, we all knew it would be a experience loss evening, except 1 time when somehow we did things correctly.

One of my favorite expansions, it was the year i joined MS when they were number two gamewide and instead of racing to be number one on the server we got to try and race RoI to be Number 1 in-game!

Favorite part of Rain of Fear, was the fireball achievement on Xorbb 2. Hands down. Worst was Heart of Fear...all of it.

The best part about RoF was getting to go back and do it after coming back from a long hiatus from the game. I quit at the beginning of VoA and didn't come back until TBM, so RoF was a complete mystery. It was fun getting to explore the zones by myself.

The day I spent grinding Shard's Landing instances over and over to hit level cap in one fell swoop.

This was theeee best expansion so far, it will probably forever be my favorite. It had so many zones, and all of the zones were beautiful. I think this was the last xpac that they put thought into all of the graphics. All of the quests were fun, and killing names. The best part, minus the graphics, is this is when they introduced collectibles. That are still my favorite part of the game, minus raiding.

Rain of Fear is the expansion my guild was progressing through when I returned to the game in 2014. A guildy had me follow them all over the place to complete the portal quests so I could enter the zones through the portals in Shard's Landing. Rain of Fear was a great expansion for returning players. It provided some familiar zones and allowed me to catch up quickly. The group missions were tons of fun. One of the first things I did with others in the expansion was the first Chelsith group mission. I got beat up by those snakes being an undergeared low level.

My guild was already past the Chapterhouse and Xorbb raids and never really returned to them, so I didn't get to really experience them until later when levels and gear allowed them to become much easier. However, I did get to enjoy our progression through the later raids... Chelsith (really enjoyed that one), Plane of Shadow, Glimpse and the minis, and the second Heart of Fear raid. We never got the opportunity to attempt the final raid as a casual raiding guild, but it was quite an accomplishment for the guild to get through the second Heart of Fear raid.

I was able to raid the lower tier raids quite a bit through raiding opportunities available via a raiding alliance and then later public server raids. They were a lot slower moving, but after years of not playing, I was having a blast. A guild member also ran corrupted ToV raids on Sundays, which was a lot of fun as well. I really liked the Shard's Landing raid — very cool concept.

I love the bard class weapon from the expansion. The breastplates also had a unique clicky, which we haven't seen an upgrade to since; The bard breastplates have a defensive clicky — useful for bards that like to do things outside of groups. I love all the clickies they added with the expansion. Farming The Chief's Influence from Chief Ry`Gorr reminded me of the earlier years camping fun items by myself. It was a nice throwback, as it allowed me to replace my Torque of the Wyrmlord from Emperor Ssraeshza. Another item was the bind sight clicky; I still use it all the time rather than memorize my bind sight song.

This expansion had so many unique and fun items available as drops, rewards from progression, and achievements — definitely reminded me of the early years. I miss that kind of stuff.

Heading back to Velious, I started playing in Jan 2001 and Velious had just been released. I remember killing a lot of stuff in various Vellious zones. It was nice to go back and see some more of a great area of Norrath.

The beastlord class weapon was my favorite part. I really enjoyed having that purple claw and was so happy when I got the raid weapon. This was very well done by EQ Dev's.

I really enjoyed working through this expansion. Dragons, rats, pigs, alarans, giant ants, floating eye balls....what's NOT to like? Quests were long and tough, but enjoyable. Visually - still one of my favorite expansions in the game.

I still have memories of falling off the tree in Evantil. You have a long time to think about how you screwed up...and to read the chatter from your friends as they made fun of you for falling. I still hate that tree.
