    I loved Qeynos so much as a starting point that even as an ogre and a troll player I would walk my characters as a low level all the way to Qeynos and have them bound there.

      @SeroJ why would you ever do that with that specific race lmao they have one of if not the greatest starting areas in all of EQ bar none 😂 qeynos starting zone doesn't hold a candle to greater faydark with kelethin and crush imo.

      @@zStC1 i loved qeynos so much more because 1: it was more pleasing to the eye for me. I prefer that over the dark dense forest and dark swamp.
      2: i could always tell where i was. It's impossible to get lost there. Not the same for swamp or forest since there aren't many landmarks and stuff.

    Great video, I learned something new about Qeynos, but you forgot to mention Cuburt, the named gelatinous cubed that spawns in the Qeynos Catacombs. It's a nod to, Q*bert, an old video game from 1982. Cuburt dropped the Small Tattered Dress used in the, Find Lucie Elron, quest. The quest was popular with casters for the reward, Golden Ear Stud, a +3 int earring. The quest was given by, Zamel, an NPC located just outside on the bank in South Qeynos. I just remember because I camped him a lot because I liked playing casters, Also you could sell the earring to players for some plat.

    As someone playing veteran toons on Erollisi Marr server it's adorable to hear you talk about old school Antonica zones being crowded. There have been times when I've done some "back in the day" runs where I swear I was the only character all of the Karanas. Good times.

    Qeynos sucks by modern min/max standards, but it was over-the-top fantastic in 1999. One of the main things that made me sad about P99 is how dead Qeynos is. In classic EQ it was such a happening and populated area with many things happening at any given time. Have fond memories of starting in Qeynos Hills as a Ranger and struggling to find my way to Qeynos in the dark. I found that building at the halfway point (because other players were using torches) and I remember typing to them and asking where I was and how to get to Qeynos and they just told me to stay inside of the building until daylight, and we did. Huddled inside talking. Was such an exciting time to be alive. Online gaming had never really been done before, so it was a huge novelty.

    The reason I pronounce Qeynos as "Keenos" and not "Kweenos" is because there is no "u "after the Q, i.e. Queynos would be pronounced "Kweenos".
    Anyway this pronunciation subject is definitely beating a dead horse from the days of EQ yore and also this vid itself is almost 5 years old.
    So why do I care and why am I typing this comment?
    All good questions!...

    Absolutely love Qeynos, but Freeport will always be my #1. You start right near EC tunnel, so free buffs at all times from high level chars. Orc camps are great xp for groups, and when you get sick of those, hop on a boat or get a tp and run over to Crushbone which has the best xp bonus of any zone in the game. I definitely do miss killing gnolls, though. Might have to start a new char in Qeynos on P99. You still play at all?

    DUDE! There was a hilarious exploit where you could get the newbie monk in NQeynos (to the left, leaving the gate), to follow you, then you go punch the monk guild master. The monk following you would try defending you, and then the entire monk guild would start a fight with its own guild master. 😂 DEFINITELY something to try some time. I used to do it whenever I was bored - but on some other random server, so I wouldn't lose my main. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm willing to bet that bug still exists.

    It's pronounced "Kay-nohs". There's no "u" after the "q" to give it a "kw" sound. It goes to hard "k" then. It's also SonyEQ spelled backwards due to Verant/Sony creating EQ.
