Plane of Fear

[Tamat]

<div></div><center>This is <b><u>exactly</u></b> what you think it is. Currently on the test server, the portal to the Plane of Fear has been re-discovered. I went to check it out, look what I found!</center><center><a target="_blank" href="http://eq2.ogaming.com/gallery/DiscoFear"><img src="http://eq2.ogaming.com/gallery/albums/DiscoFear/EQ2_000021.sized.jpg"></a></center><blockquote>Danak Dhorentath and the minions of Fear have excavated an ancient cave in the Feerrott, near the Temple of Cazic-Thule. Even the bravest adventurer may gasp when setting eyes upon the terrors within.</blockquote>

<div></div>I wish I could see the Isle of Dread again.<div></div>

[Dolby]

Wow that gate looks cool and brings back a ton of memories...I remember when PoF was added to EQ1, my first time in the zone was an entire 4 seconds followed by a 6hr CR. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[JayeWizziefingers]

Tons and tons of gear rotted in the EQ1 version of that zone!  I can't wait to see this version.  If the portal is any indication, it will be a real neat looking zone.

Is it an actual portal or is it just a big statue zone flavor thingy?  (Can you click it and zone to the plane?)<div></div>

After Quarm dies, Druzzil Ro comes and basically rewinds time for one leg, and then time continues for another. The book written by Zebuxoruk that you can get as a clicky item in the mage tower (I know Qeynos for sure, I assume Freeport as well) describes this split of time. The Planes are still there for all the gods, but in one timeline we didn't go and beat their avatars on their own turf nor did we visit the Plane of Time. I can't really say I want to see the return of the Planes as they were either. Planes of Power was an awful expansion in terms of being able to progress. Backflagging was a nightmare and the 85% rule wasn't always there, plus many zones were level-locked when it first came out. Plus I don't think we would just see the older planes anyway, since Mith Marr is mentioned as returning and his plane was a PoP era plane, not pre-PoP like Growth, Fear, Hate, etc. <div></div>

[Leawyn]

I guess I'm a freak because I liked the planes. I liked POP raid progression (except for the backflags... ick) and I loved fighting all those things that were 100 times taller than me. I just really enjoyed the expansion, probably because thats when I really started raiding alot, so I was having a blast with the game as a whole. I would love to see POFear back, but new graphics, new layout.. have Cazic go all crazy cuz he had no followers, I don't know. It would be fun to have a cool throwback raid zone like that. <div></div>

[FlintAH]

It seems to me that Cazic has more followers than any of the others in EQ2.<div></div>

I remember it dropping more than one vividly because I let a nearby guildy that stuck around and watched my Kite it for hours loot one and I held the corpse open and woke my brother up to log on and loot another one. Think there was another left over that ended up rotting.Also grats to you if you triple box'd AND managed to keep 2 of your 3 toons out of that AE range. If I remember correctly It's AE debuffed your HP to like 750 and a few seconds later shot another AE that did like 500 a tick. Not to mention It hit like a beast. But to get back on topic - It seems a lil strange to me that the main reason the gods left us was because we were invading on their Planes, yet there not even back yet and there is already evidence of a gateway to the Plane of Fear. Guess we will just have to wait and see what this quest Danak gives pertains to. <div></div> <hr> </blockquote>i always remember him only dropping 1 key i could be wrong though, i had a lot of fun soloing them with my monk at level 60, was always a intense fight.<hr></blockquote>Its been so long I may have my timeline a lil backwards. After browsing through like 90 threads on the EQOA forums about dreadnaughts it looks like your right and they currently drop only one key. However I'm certainly not mistaken on him dropping more than one key when I killed him (prolly a lil after a week after quest was introduced).  But since I couldnt find any proof to link, I'll just leave it at that.</div>

<P>We killed Dreadnaught the night he was added into game, he only dropped one key. Anyone who entered IoD in the first 2 days of its release would remember when you used your key, it was not returned. They fixed this 4th day I think, as to where keys were permanent. </P> <P>IoD was the probably the best MMO raid-zone i've played in. Between Festering Jack, Impale, Contagion, Reaver of Graumord, and the Breathstealer named, there was enough content to keep guilds busy for a month straight hardcore before thinking twice about slowing down. After completely gearing out from the island named we then attempted and owned the 3 golems in the tower, which were really fun, besides the chain deathtouch. Megaladon dropped a shark fin for us that wasn't used for anything that was quite upsetting. </P> <P>IoD was a Live Zone, and I loved it so much because of that. No need for lockouts on a zone so big, that has named on a 3-20 hour timer based on how much their spawn location is farmed. This zone was extremely hard, I remember the Campfire was the chill spot. I loved seeing people get owned at the camp-fire when the Dread Rots roamed close!</P>

<DIV>Plane of Fear, one of the original three planes from EQ1 (Other two being Plane of Sky and Plane of Hate.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>First off, I will direct you guys to this link: <A href="http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?zstrat=51" target=_blank>http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?zstrat=51</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is the description along with some screenshots of the Plane of Fear.  By clicking on the Ferrott link, you will also see an image of the gate to the Plane of Fear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If we happen to gain access to the Plane of Fear, I reallllly realllllly hope it is not going to be re-used zone geometries.  The plane deserves its own unique art.  But, I have a gut feeling that we will get a revamped portion of Feerrott or CT if the content turns out to be free.  Thats if we even are able to get in someday.  Who knows, maybe there is a reason why we don't want to go in.  Maybe there will be a quest to close the gate completely.  Or maybe it will be a new zone when EoF comes out.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh, and it better rain blood in there.</DIV>

Yeah i remeber IoD all to well was a fun and great place to get uber gear befor Frontiers.Yes i remember when the DreadNauhgt droped on 1 item per kill to get your update and then when you got to IoD if you failed you had to redo the quest completly all over again.Within 3 days of that there was a new update added to fix that and you could get up to 3 items per drop.Later they added it so every one could get that item.Yes i remeber also killing the DreadNaught was hard but later with some wizies and Necros rooting it to death made the kill much faster and not so hard ...then later a tank would just taunt it to death and run it round and round while the dd's would kill it.It was so ez that way you could kill one after the other with little deaths.As for IoD it's self was a great place for all of us to become better raiders throught out the game.Hell i remember being the 1st war on CLW to have a full set of gald gear on my war and still have to this day.For the most part IoD was takken over by all the pet party i sure you all remember in fact thats just how i got my full set of glad gear...playing my mage.....all in all i would love to see IoD come to EQ2...the faction in IoD was a pain but in the end was worth it just to get that quest to go kill you know who :smileyvery-happy: :smileyvery-happy: :smileyvery-happy:

<DIV>Man, I <STRONG>hope</STRONG> the aggro design won't be copied from EQ1. I don't want to think about that plus the recent social aggro changes, lol. I wonder if we get to revive closer than, say, East Freeport, when we die in there :smileyhappy:.</DIV>

[Kessia189]

So... Lore wise. If the Fear Portal has been re-discovered in a cave due east of the Temple of Cazic-Thule, then what would be the portal found in the Trembling Lagoon? A second portal? Given its geometric location it would have to be a second portal as the original Fear Portal was not far off the location this new one has been placed at.Hope that made sense lol <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

[Tamat]

Actually the re-discovered portal is in a more acurate location then the one at the Trembling Lagoon. <div></div>
