Hello Everyone!

I wanted to post and give everyone a preview of what we have planned for our next Anniversary period in March. After some research and finding a spare week lying around somewhere we decided we were going to be able to tackle the Planes of Power progression for a Fabled event after all. We've been hard at work on getting it all plugged in and we're happy to say that it looks like it's going well and we expect to be all set for the Anniversary.

A few notes about this:

* We're going to be making a large chunk of the PoP progression "Fabled" during this time. This means these events will become a lot harder than normal so if you're working through the PoP progression normally you may need to put it on hold during this period.
* We looked into removing the flag requirements for the various zones outside of Time iteslf but it seems like a task that's just a bit too big to fit into the schedule right now. We'll see if we can find time for it between now and the Fabled but I wouldn't count on it. That means if you are not currently able to get into all the zones but you want to be then you can take this opportunity to get some flags out of the way before the event kicks off.
* We should have raids and group fabled content that span a wide range of power levels but it's all going to be aimed at around SoF group and raid levels.

That's all I have for now. I may not be able to answer follow up questions if we don't know the answer yet but I'll keep checking this thread and pass on whatever I can.

Frankly I could lead all of the PoP encounters in my sleep. I did them that much.

I dunno how much we will do on fabled though. We have a lot of folks missing some of the flags because we haven't done pop flagging in a long time, plus I am sure large guilds will farm a bunch of it.

We will see though.

I know I am in the minority on this, but Fabled is the one - maybe the ONLY - thing about EQ itself that I enjoy and look forward to.

I play when I do play mostly because of the company you guys and my guildies, not for the enjoyment that comes from the game itself.

What makes it so enjoyable? Doing the same script with harder hitting mobs=ultimately boring for me, just curious what makes it such a good thing to you? Smile For me my fave feeling in eq is beating an event you have worked long and hard at, as in vish or draygun, what a rush!

I tend to believe that most of the mobs in PoP will be farmed to death when that week comes.....

Unless they fix the down time of the mobs for the event we prolly won't even have a chance at hitting these. Rember last year that the highend guilds went after the major item droppers and we could in reality only hit about 3-4 of the big named mobs. I hope it is not the case now but I tend to believe that they will be mostly down from day to day in the aniversary period.

Two things:

(1) Competition for the mobs among guilds & raid groups, which barely exists anymore; and

(2) This will not apply to PoP, actually, but with the previous fabled it let me fight mobs that I had never (or rarely) fought before. I bought PoP the same day I bought Luclin, which basically resulted in me missing most of Luclin raiding.

So maybe since I have done PoP to death it won't be so cool after all.

Thanks a lot!!! Mad Mad Mad

Just a thought, with the uber guilds camping PoP maybe we can hit more Luclin fabled this year?

Keep an eye out for the SSRA emperor to be up - I still need him for the VT key and am betting many others do.

Really just need one Emp kill where everyone shows up to get the planes rift. Rest of the VT key can be solo'd/duo'd. and Emp himself should be able to be done with one group, but it drops like 48 rifts IIRC

I see some of you do not seem to like the idea of the fables. However, I enjoy it because it takes people back to the older zones and offers some good loot. In my opinion those were some of the better expansions of everquest (especially PoP). It also brings back some good memories as well Smile.

I am flagged for VT ana all of POP, so if we do decide to do any of the fabled mobs, count me in.

Isn't Time Instanced? I think we should at least hit that and see what Fabled we can nail one night Smile Think about the loots a Fabled Quarm would drop? I'm drooling already Smile I say lets at least hit that event. There won't be any competition for TIME!!!!

Time is instanced, it will also be on the same difficulty as MMM/Crystallos raids, or so the devs are saying. I'm curious as to what they are gonna do with the lockouts in PoTime since Fabled mobs spawn so much more often than regular mobs.

I expect Fu to hit all the elemental gods (or at least make a run at them) at least once during the time and probably spend the rest of the time in PoTime. I'm not an officer though so I really can't say for sure what we will be doing.

Emp can easily be one grouped, I did it with 7 when the cap was 75 and at least half of them were boxes. Had Crazy tanking, 75 monk (twink), me (box), 75 ranger (box/twink) 75 SK (someone had to kite), 75 druid (box/twink), and 75 cleric. Only had like 3 bane weapons among the DPS so the fight took a LONG time, procs (panther/dd procs) where doing most of the DPS.

I missed all of fabled VT last year so I might be looking to hit some of those mobs this year as I first started raiding with VT and I enjoy the zone, even if the trash is a snorefest. Get those CoH bots ready!

Tas if fully flagged for VT as well as 100% of PoP. I would love a chance to take out some of the fableds in either of these formats. (Luclin or PoP) Though, as Suegar mentioned, I have done the events so often it might be a bit boring to do the same ol' encounters. BUT think of the uber loots =)

I love fabled mobs myself. Aye the nostalgia, but also I enjoy the exploration part of EQ the most, and hunting down undiscovered fables is one of the few times to do this. I've never raided fabled mobs though, so I'm looking forward to that.

Laenyani and Wwein are both VT keyed. We also have a flagged 78 cleric box, and a shammy/enc/mage/war of lower levels that are unlikely to be able to help (CoH perhaps?), none of which are in AH though.

For completion sake, I'd love to completely flag for PoP too.
