Some observations of the upcoming expansion and recent happenings

<p>You been watching Men in Black to much.  </p><p>Just kidding.</p><p>Honestly I wouldnt doubt it if we traveld to the second moon now.  </p>

Drinal has always been there, so it did not "just appear out of nowhere'". From what I remember Luclin was now visible to the eyes of Norrath since it shattered. It had some magic blocking it from view in the first Everquest?The Temple of Life is indeed A spaceship, it was Rodcet Nife's. From what the new prophet said, it was Rodcet Nife's Gift to them.Shadows of Luclin and Shadow of Odyssey may bare a similar name, but this doesn't mean anything. Coincidence can exist here.

Few folks have cleared this up for me, i had no clue the second moon was always visible. I had started playing for the first time in a year and thought it was new lol.boy do i feel silly <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It still blows me away that i had never noticed that huge moon before, the last few weeks i had been obsessing over it lolI guess its back to your lives citizens, nothing to see here.p.s i still hope they send us to the moon, despite popular opinion I think the idea was always great.

Luclin in eq1 was able to be teleported to. I heard it was interesting and I wouldn't mind it either.

there was always a second moon. its an airless wasteland like the moon in real life.

<p>Hmm ... Drinal has always been there from the start.</p><p>As for Luclin, it's badly damaged and in pieces. The pieces actually wobble a bit if anyone watched it move across the sky for a bit. The Nexus was at center of the moon. This location was where teleportation usually happened between Norrath and the moon. Seeing that there are a lot of burning rocks and energy in the center to this day ... I'm not sure I'll want to be ported right into the middle of an inferno.</p>

Yup, been playing since before GU19 (the crafting revamp GU) and there's always been 2 moons.

[darklovely]

if someone has already mentioned this sorry for saying it again..about the temple of life it was a saucer looking building back in eq1 so nothing new about the way it looks sorry..so no factor there...and reading thru other posts apparently sony changed the name so its The Shadow Odessy now apparently. and its going to be dealing with the shadowmen from what alot of other posts say <shrugs>

Hmmm, we have a spaceship that can appear and disappear and an alien "Doctor" that travels the universe saving lives.THAT'S IT!!!!! The next expansion takes place on GALLIFREY!!<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

<p>I'd rather travel into the void than Luclin.</p><p>from what I hear, the story will continu ... and from what we know about the chelsith stone, I think it will be something important and we'll have to fight the shadow realm to stay alive.</p><p>I would like it, a place totally different, distorded, very dark and unfriendly.</p>

And then my mother (American) came in during an episode (Pertwee or T Baker, not sure) where some dinosaur was running amok. She looked at it and called it a Trash Can Dinosaur because of the poor costume quality. After that, a trash can was all I could see. But the new series is stellar.
