The new zone is tiny.

All the fights are trivial for a decently geared trio, except the boss, which is severely overtuned.

Items are pretty much all worthless. The focus clearly was on giving the weaker classes stuff, but the stuff isn't even planar quality, except for 1 item from the boss (mana pres III) and maybe 1-2 niche items.

You can just invis down to the boss and kill him. The rest of the zone has no relevance. XP isn't great and mote drops are severely subpar.

No idea why they invested time in this. We didn't need a worse alternative to already available content, we needed something better.
It is a pretty poor effort that took them forever. 99% chance Kunark is going to be trash, too.

My question maybe wasn't clear enough. Once you unlock it by completing the PoH step once, is it unlocked forever even if you're not 46 yet on a reroll. Could your next leveling trio head to the castle in the low 40s? If they wasted all this effort just to provide a mana pres 3 item without fixing a known leveling gap they are a special kind of retarded.

Mobs have way too many hp for their level, and mote drops are rare. Don't see leveling there as a realistic option.

It's going to be a glorious day when EQ Legends get shut down and David Youssefi and his merry band of troons and goons get what's coming.

The sad part it doesn't have to meet that end. This should have been a layup. I'm not saying its doomed yet but their decisions make little to no sense and surely they can see it in the change of population. I'm sure this release gave a little life but there never had to be a lull and they could have provided plenty of content upfront and gave themselves time to release custom content later.

The playbook was written and the path was already clear. If Kunark is a swing and a miss... I think it will have little chance to recover what momentum it had or ever reach its poential.

So if there are no upgrades what is the point of the new zone?

No inclination to get back to this, had a couple of weeks left to play before subscription was done, but no thanks. Don't really see how Kunark can save this

Kunark could save it. Unfortunately, Kunark isn't scheduled to be out for another 2 months! That's another 2 months of zero good content and quickly declining server pops.
There may be nothing left to save by the time Kunark rolls out.
