What Happened to Unrest? [EverQuest 2 Lore]

  • Did EverQuest 2 do right in this remake of a classic dungeon? Let’s go. In the first game, Unrest is just a popular low level dungeon. But in EQ2, it’s completely different. It’s like a puzzle zone meant for high level players.

    I really enjoy your videos. My late wife and I played original flavor EQ right after we met and it was a staple in our lives until EQ2 beta (she got in, I didn't) after which we played EQ 2 until she passed in 2017. I cannot play EQ2 without her. I just can't. But your videos have helped remind me of how fun the game was with her. Thank you.

    I remember when this zone was introduced in EQ2 back in 2007. Initially it was barred off at launch of EoF since it wasn't ready yet, but the moment it came out it was by far one of the more difficult endgame content introduced so far. It was a mixed bag and I think many felt it should've been contested, but at the sametime I do appreciate the heavily conscripted idea for an instance, something that wasn't really tried at the time with exceptions to Nektulos Castle which in many aspects follows the same design of a group oriented haunted mansion.

    When I was a kid,Unrest came out for the first time in EQ2,my brother and I set up a group to finally check this place out
    It was great,we got to see the zone we met our first guildies in EQ again
    Worked our way through the whole zone,to the end boss
    Ready to end the zone/dungeon
    I'm the tank,so I pull him
    All of a sudden,the screen goes into a haze,and this skull appears..And it terrifies me
    I thought I had just gotten a virus or something on my dads new PC
    So I freak out and reset the PC
    I come back into the zone and I can hear my brother laughing his ass off at the fact it scared me so much
    I will never forget that

    This is what they should have done from the start. Take every single EQ1 zone and redo each with better graphics and something new. Make us old EQ1 players feel like we’re starting from the original but with a new twist and new direction.
    There’s a reason these revamp zones were so popular in EQ2. They started adding more of them after all the live Unrest got. Too late, in my opinion, the whole game should have been like that from the start.

    Unrest is probably my favorite zone of all time. I've never seen it in EQ 2, but I like a lot of what they've done to make it more interesting. Not all of it though. Definitely an interesting remake!

    • @IonBlaze1
      @IonBlaze1  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it's definitely a fresh take. But it's more of a 1 & done zone in EQ2. No reason to do it twice unless you want some specific gear drop

    Are there still groups for stuff like this on Varsoon? I gave the server a try last month and got to 20 before getting distracted. I'd really love doing something like this though if there is enough activity or interest!

    • @IonBlaze1
      @IonBlaze1  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Server is dead until Kunark launches Aug 8th. Varsoon is most active when expansions launch & when there's holiday EXP bonuses. Every other time, it's mostly dead for lower lvl grouping. Everyone just raid logs.

    I forget can you go in as a higher level person and check out all the old zones or are you locked out? So like if I just wanted to run around with one character and not do a bunch of old shenanigans will I be able to visit Old content

    • @IonBlaze1
      @IonBlaze1  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I think you can do old content as a higher lvl, it's just there's no challenge cause everything dies to 1 hit. I think there's a way to buy a temporary delevel too. Chronomage or something

    • @ratgirl1221
      @ratgirl1221 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can find a chronomage in any major city and they'll change your level to anything lower so you can still get some level of experience. However if you don't want to be attacked by every mob you can just go in grey which should be level 85+ and just look around. I believe you still need to do the puzzles though.

    I played EQ from January/February 2000 to around 2008/2009 and then recently tried EQ2 due to my GF playing. However, I've never had a single group in 3 years. How'd you find a group? Hell, I advertised in-game and on the forums, to no avail. As a result, I'm about to call it for EQ2. There are some things I love about it, but it's been solo the entire time with little guild interaction. Not worth the money as an MMO.

      The game is 20 years old. Some of the those things were new to gaming back in the day. There are some breathtaking zones and lookout points in EQ2. Sleepers Tomb is amazing. The Sleeper himself is terrifying. The game has so many ways to add strategy and puzzle solving that original EQ lacked. The game was far from perfect but it never “looked bad”.
