Huge fan of all things lore, especially in the world of Norrath. I’ve only ever played eq2, but have listened to/read much of the rich lore from eq. The mention of the reversal of time and creating a split has escaped me thus far and learning of it makes so much sense. Gonna have to play through isle of Mara and catch what I missed on my youthful speed run through content. Great video! More please!
I miss playing soo much. Bard, warriors, monk, druid and shaman. Epics back in the day really felt epic. So much lore and teamwork. I tried on the TLP for awhile but the faction quests just made me lose interest.
@@IonBlaze1 I was reading through random quests like 20 years ago and saw you could chat with Cazic Thule as part of a quest, that really intrigued me! So I rolled the lizard monk just to do the quest!
Oooooo. I love Tanaan Lore - one of my fav parts of Fallen Dynasty in EQ2. I believe EQ2 marketing also used this as a way to market EoF, which was the addition of dieties in game. You can follow a diety and gain powers from them (Blessings and Miracles), and also the addition of Avatars, representations of the gods sent back to Norrath. There's a bit of a debate on whether or not Zhen Mei is actually Zeb, or just his Avatar. I like to think it's just him. :)
@Ion Blaze lol it started by me telling my bard they were doing an awesome job pulling and they were the best bard I've met and they said "no that title belongs to ion" it went on from there hahaha
If anyone is interested in a physical copy of EQ lore, there are table top role playing game books. Theyre amazing and include the back stories of the gods, the rulers of each city, two enormous Luclin and Kunark expansions. They're worth it if you want to save some awesome nostalgia!
The Plane Of Knowledge really was such an interesting thing in the history of MMO's in general. The history of EQ is so much more important than people realize, because it's the thing that took the chances that lead to the things we see as obvious today. Great video!
Also on Luclin you can see a moon farther away than Norrath. This means either EQ2 Dev retcon.. or something else. But the vail ( some choose veil) of veeshan was mentioned clearly in EQ2 lorebooks, but somehow... it was some other vail that supposeably hidden Luclin in EQ 1. While the second moon ( im refusing to name because i got enough hate) was actually the hidden one... and possibly ( despite expansion evidence suggesting otherwise) it was D.... the other moon... Purhaps their are 3 gods of death.. the magic, the mundane, and the between... You mortals are now less decieved! Do with it what you will...
Dude, I am nooblet ogre War and this is the most fun I have ever had in an MMO. I am meeting really cool people and next thing you know it, you need sleep lol talking about lore from forcing a cheeseburger tax for new groupies lmao.
EQ has Lore ?!?! i thought it was about hitting a skeleton for 8 billion damage while farming krono for the P2W cashshop and macroquesting a 10 box army while you AFK dupe items and plat huh
1) It would definitely be pronounced "Zonn Fee" 2) We have not seen the Plane of Knowledge, the city of New Tanaan lies within it, but we only can visit the city, not the actual plane itself. 3) It's pronounced "Loose-lin" just like the "Loosid" shards that drop for the VT key. They're not called Luck-id shards, because there is no K, just like there is no K in Luclin. Loose-lin. Simple, right? Also, not one single Latin root word _(Lucere;_ luminous, brilliant, bright) uses a hard K sound. If you want to continue to be wrong, like most people on this issue, that's fine. You're still wrong though. And while we're at it, GIF is pronounced like Gift without the T and there's literally no argument against that.
Personally I like the Idea of gods in fantasy especially EQ and they should never be killed. That's a lazy atheist writer's trope. Kill the gods! At one point with my Paladin I was part of killing my own patron saint the avatar of Mithanial Marr for some crap reward. I hated it.
Yeah I can see your point. I remember defeating Mith Marr for PoP progression back in the day & I could see that being wrong to do as a pally or froglok. I understand taking down their avatars however.
yoooo broski i clicked on dis vid cuz of pok and eq1 i found your vids right before you went to eq2 and im all disappointed i need you to stop and return to the original

miss Flatts, many hours of entertainment watching his videos
This is one heck of a collab. Happy to see it!
@@donut_42 Thank you Donut :)
This was great. Thank you so much for including me! Definitely learned some new lore.
Thank you so much for the help in making it. Sorry I didn't reach back with you when it was live. Was watching on Levelup's stream
Great indeed!
Because Druids and Wizards were rollin in the plat.
They did it to ruin porting! The Bastards! lol
EverQuest lore is so intriguing it has me coming back to it over and over again. Thank you for taking me back once again.
Oh thank you for watching :) It truly is great stuff
This was great. Please make more deep lore videos like this -- I had missed almost all of this story when I played.
Oh sure will do. Thank you for the support Brian :)
Didnt realize everquest had such deep lore, it's pretty good.
Great work on this! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I can't wait for more!!
Thanks for making this. Never ceases to amaze me how I still don't know all the lore in a franchise I've enjoyed for over 20 years ❤
Always love your stuff!! Definitely got a new appreciation for EQ2!!
Oh thank you so much Demris :)
The landmasses were not changed by Earthquakes. Eq2 was the goddess of music that reverted the lands to what they were before.
Pretty sweet. Never got into 2, so getting to know some more lore is fun. Covered so much ground in 8 mins!
Thank you Nick :)
Everquest and Recently discovered islands
Name a more iconic duo
You know, you're right. Isn't Velious the first one?
Good to see you're still making videos. I loved this game deeply long ago.
Oh vile goat! Nice to see you again. Thank you for coming by :)
I love your EQ videos when you talk about the Lore.

Cool lore! Poor Zeburbgerruptx! My Iksar Monk is currently doing the Whistling Fists quests, I've been using Flatts' videos to guide me 😅
Oh heck yeah. I wish you best of luck on getting that robe & the epic :)
@@IonBlaze1 I was reading through random quests like 20 years ago and saw you could chat with Cazic Thule as part of a quest, that really intrigued me! So I rolled the lizard monk just to do the quest!
I was just reading about this lore the other day. Great video thanks! Level Up!
Level Up HYPE!!!!! Thank you :)
Great video! Never really understood the big Zeb change in EQ2 and now I know..... thank you!
Thank you for Watching Dmitry :)

Oh thank you for coming by Bear :) I really liked your raid primer video the other day.
@@IonBlaze1 - Thanks very much!
Really love stuff like this! I never got to play Everquest in its heyday so this stuff really intrigues me. Hope to see more of this stuff soon!
Thank you for the compliments Dawatchng :)
Wow now i understand the storyline for pantheon and im even more stoked!!!
Thank you, these are things I honestly never think about while playing but it's really interesting.
Thank you for watching Susann :)
Love lore videos
Thank you Novyx L. Nice to see you around again :)
Classy production! Love it.
Thank you DK :)
loved this... so enjoyable... more lore videos!~
Thank you Kleen :)
Hey ion. I was in a low group yesterday on yelinak. Had a nice conversation about you specifically. Thanks again for all the content!
Oh I wonder what was said. Thank you for the compliments Shivur :)
@Ion Blaze lol it started by me telling my bard they were doing an awesome job pulling and they were the best bard I've met and they said "no that title belongs to ion" it went on from there hahaha
That was really interesting! I really need to dive deeper into the lore and how EQ1 and EQ2 intertwine.
Yeah there's a really good eq2 forum post that explains all the lore. A lot of what we know about EQ1's lore is actually explained in eq2.
Wish this was longer!
Haha that's a nice compliment. Thank you Tristan :)
yay Level Up Larry! took me a minute to recognize the voice lol
If anyone is interested in a physical copy of EQ lore, there are table top role playing game books. Theyre amazing and include the back stories of the gods, the rulers of each city, two enormous Luclin and Kunark expansions. They're worth it if you want to save some awesome nostalgia!
Holy shit yes! I love me some post-classic era lore!
It's just as interesting as the classic era but gets overlooked a lot unfortunately.
If it ain't kunark or velious, it ain't worth it yeah lol
The Plane Of Knowledge really was such an interesting thing in the history of MMO's in general. The history of EQ is so much more important than people realize, because it's the thing that took the chances that lead to the things we see as obvious today. Great video!
Awesome video! My character in WoW's name is Zebuxoruk, gotta pay homage.
Thank you Dessius. I imagine that being a pain to spell. /invite Zebuxoruk
Glad you continue to make content after your Childs birth! We all love your content!
Holy crap.please more EQ lore vids
It wasn’t made for MGB buffs at the Evil bank and for me to get paid to cast 2 hour virtues?
Also on Luclin you can see a moon farther away than Norrath. This means either EQ2 Dev retcon.. or something else. But the vail ( some choose veil) of veeshan was mentioned clearly in EQ2 lorebooks, but somehow... it was some other vail that supposeably hidden Luclin in EQ 1.

What's the next MMO you are going to do?
Dude, I am nooblet ogre War and this is the most fun I have ever had in an MMO. I am meeting really cool people and next thing you know it, you need sleep lol talking about lore from forcing a cheeseburger tax for new groupies lmao.
I really enjoyed that, many thanks!
Does Flatts reach out to you or Redbeard, he still gets a lot of love from the EQ fans.
Thank you Zool. I've never talked to him but I think I saw him respond on reddit thread last year.
The Plane of Knowledge was the worst mistake ever made by SOE.
EQ has Lore ?!?!
i thought it was about hitting a skeleton for 8 billion damage while farming krono for the P2W cashshop and macroquesting a 10 box army while you AFK dupe items and plat
huh
This was awesome.
Thank you Xellen. I gotta check out that new luclin expansion. Hope it's going well for you
Heyo, i know this isn’t the subject of the video but i assumed this was the best place to ask, in EQ is alt tab boxxing against truebox servers?
i love PoK!
Why was the Plane of Knowledge made?
To make the player base in the 2000's happy and remove copper from the pockets of Wizards and Druids 🤣
This was fun🎉 loved it
More plz

2) We have not seen the Plane of Knowledge, the city of New Tanaan lies within it, but we only can visit the city, not the actual plane itself.

Don't pickpocket or you'll be reported for playing your class correctly lol
Yow champz! How are you and your kid? Have you managed to play sometimes? From a dad to another - wish you the best! ♥
Zen Fie? I always pronoun Zen Fee
Yeah I think it's the way you say it but everyone has their own pronunciation

Hehe perhaps. I'm hoping for a good TLP ruleset this time around.
