Removed zones

Hello everybody,

Well, there are many zones listed in the wiki that were removed, and I'm just curious to know why they were. Some are self-explanatory (the old Froglock homeworld), but others simply state "removed from the game". Were they all done away because of the same cataclysm? Or were other zones pulled for other reasons?

Thanks!
 
All of "The Land of Magic" (Luclin) went away one day in some cataclysmic event. I miss some of those zones. :(
 
Pretty much, except Bancak was removed for whatever reason, and another zone too I think.
 
Crystal Caverns is the only non Lands of Magic zone I can think of besides Bancak not used any more. CC was from WR though, and never on SoD. Located below the city of Thurg, housing mobs from like teens to 50's. Miss that place lots, it was tons of fun. :(
 
Icewell is under Thurg, Crystal caverns was under the Orc Fort and it was awesome =)
 
CC was never in EW on SoD/WR. Former poster was correct, it used to be under thurg and the main zoneline used to be under the bridge near zone-in.

I really enjoyed the zone...

I coulda swore the entrance was the crystal ball in the orc fort in EW
 
It used to be on SoD too, or rather under the old name. It was removed some time ago, idk why.

Nope, was only in EW on Live. CC was definately under the bridge in Thurg on WR. You would hail the Wizard at the entrance to go down. Back then, the dark races started in Thurg and if you weren't one of them, you would have to get dwarf faction up or illusion to use the Wizard. In any event, it was a totally fun zone and I miss it. I don't believe there ever was a story to it's removal though. And I cannot recall if it was removed at the very end or WR or if it just never made it into SoD.
 
Yeah it was under the bridge through the tunnel. I remember sliding off the bridge a couple times while getting there lol.I miss the geomancers :( in the tunnel

IIRC Wiz removed it to due to the trouble that comes along with plat farms.

That doesnt seem to make much sense. As long as something drops a higher amount of plat that just replaces the previous farm, and makes that one even more competitive since there are less spots to farm in then. I'm assuming of course you're speaking of player conflict, as there's around 2 or 3 pretty decent platsinks I can think of off the top of my head.
 
There was a bunch of reasons I removed it. Mostly it was just a crummy zone, in my opinion.
 
crystal caverns was great for players.. but i dont believe it had much real meaning to it other than just exping and farming. i think it could have possibley been turned into something good.. by far my favorite zone on live and on WR. but hey, to bad.
 
It was a haven of no-caster single pulls that was such pathetically lazy exp that noone wanted to go anywhere else.
