Questions from an old timer!

[Imisstheoldtimes]

Howdy guys, I started EQ back in 99 when it was real big and actually exciting to log on and play, I went up to PoP and quit in 03 I think, somewheres around there, and didnt look back. I was looking around Best Buy and saw there was an EQ pack for 30.00$ for 15 expansions, thats a lot of expansions! Sounds like there losing a lot of subscribers if you can get all 15 + 30 free days for $30.00... heh.

Anyways, what I miss the most about old EQ was Veeshan Peak raids and screwing around in Plane of Mischiefs, would love to join you community, from the sounds of it anyone joining would help out, appears to be somewhat low of a population, but would like to know a few things before I go drop $30 and get sucked into another game.

I know it may be renamed in SoD but is Plane of Mischief still around, the original version, with cute little Carret Top and all?

Whats the highest expansion you guys have, are the yuckie PoP books all over in SoD?

Whatever the highest expansion is, how far has the raid guilds gotten? Say its Velious, is there people clearing ToV?

Whats highest levels? Is there AA's?

I know, I know, just like any other forum on the internet, I should of gone through all the new/old threads to look for answers on my questions, but I figured if someone replyed, I could ask them some other in-depth ones that I wouldnt be able to find online.

Thanks if anyone replys, hope to be apart of your community!

SoD is a custom server, not a private server. Things are very different, but with an old school feel. Nearly all the content is new, with more being developed constantly. Neither Plane of Mischief or Veeshans peak are even in the game yet (thought it won't be long on one of those hopefully.).

Expansions up to to GoD are needed. The wiki I linked should help with most else.

The content is arranged completely different. Some zones from expansions all the way up to GoD are in.
PoM is not in the game
The highest raid zone currently is called The Prison of Admyrzza, Inner Sanctum and is part of the Live zone SkyShrine.

There are no PoP books, thank god, but there is a chaotically magic mansion that connects major cities for rapid travel if you can withstand the risks.

Highest level is 65 and highest AAs are the "PoP Advance" tab with a maximum being around 579 (for bards) and there are items called tomes which further advance characters for a large amount of xp.
