several reasons i choose BoT.

1. good exp al the way to lvl 70.
2. low requirement to get in (62).
3. chance to kill low lvled names for gear.
4. lots of camps.
5. great "starting" place for guilds getting into plains raids.
6. Decent exp for me to solo at lvl 70 as a cleric ;-P

all around one of the better PoP zones. altho at times, back at the start of PoP it did remind me of the old KC days. but hey, i did my time in KC, learned alot back then.

BoT is a breeding ground for the worst human pond scum in Everquest.

Plane of Torment is the single greatest zone ever created for Everquest. Great atmosphere and a killer soundtrack if you ever play with the sound on. Great raids to be had in there, but sadly it's not much of a single group experience.

Plane of Michief 1.0

Now that was something special.

I like BoT and Plane of Torment, BoT was fun to grind in once it got overcrowded the mass training got annoying but still was a well designed zone, And Plen of Torment is just awsome.

I used to like BoT, but that was when i was flagged for it, and not many people were.

Then you get all these jackasses in there, and it was just to much of a hassle, i started to refuse to group there.

Plane of Nightmares was a great place, there were so many suprises all the time. That was the first place i was FD'd by a monster, had some amazing trains that a group had to deal with, and me being an enchanter, could really shine then.

Nightmares goes down as my fave low teir plane.

Plane of Mischief!!!

Chose between the two zones that saw more of my shaman's corpses than any other ... Storms or Innovation and since we were finally able to thumb our noses at Storms it's Innovation. That zone will pop a mob on my butt more times than any other!

BoT is the Paludal Caverns of the Planes! PLing and trains are the name of the game.

Clearly Plane of Mischief 1.0 was, above all else, the best plane.

Tactics hands down is the best of the listed...
Plenty of group/solo camps with loot, 3 great bosses, and of coarse the piglet stampeed.

im gonna say that probably BoT, HoH and PoV were my favorites. and overall PoP waz one of my favorite expancions. BoT cuz i could pull it, tank it, and/or dps lol. great drops and xp. PoV and HoH cuz of the killer Kite Groups. i used to get into a grp with 5 other necros and train pull the front camp. crazy fun and xp.

I myself LOVE Innovation, the only drawback being the horrid EXP for the effort put into it.

For what the question asks I would say Torment. It is a really neat looking zone etc. Runner up would be BOT.

Before 70, hehe, even before 65; POV group outer or the run to ww or ew (WestWall EastWall) I got further into the zone than POI or POD, BoT is a major favorite. POV by far the most played enjoyed zone. Smiley: jester

One of the most enjoyable nights I ever had was going into Plane of Mischief with my friends and discovering all the neat tricks and mobs in there.
#20 Oct 23 2005 at 11:05 AM Rating: Decent
1) Plane of Hate, Kunark Era version.
2) Plane of Mischief, Velious Era version.
3) Plane of Justice, XP'd from 60-65 and god knows how many AA there.

I really enjoyed soloing frogs in the plane of storms from 56-62. Great xp and they didnt summon, plus plenty of room to kite without much interference by anything. Problem with PoS though is that only that one area was fundamentally soloable.

Nightmares was fine and all, but i wish it was done differently. Should have split that total area up with a sick person to correspond with each. a quest would start an instance into that person's personal nightmare with a focused theme and point. you didnt have to complete the quest, could solo all want. or actually bring raid, defeat the boss and remove that guy's ailments into a slow recovery

Thunder was terrible for me in pickup groups. the models were hideous, meshes fine but textures terrible. each wing shuts off a sphere of magic? my ***. I couldnt really do anything, i dislike feeling like a waste of a group slot

Halls of honor was fun but nothing special.

Innovation, in retrospect, was probably the best designed. but even then it was nothing special. overall Planes of Power was a weak expansion outside of raiding

CoD, because the bertox script remains one of my favorite PoP raid scripts. the lore behind it and the challenge of the script makes for the best overall encounter in the expansion.

I went with Halls of Honor. I love the graphics in there and spent a good deal of time in the upper right crypt with friends, just grinding the day away. The pulls were steady and there was rarely anyone ever in the zone. I like Torment as well, even though the only times I've been in there is to kill Saryrn. It's a neat zone. Bastion of Thunder was great exp and a great place for raids, but always just too darn crowded and too much whining in ooc.

#1 Torment. Great looking zone, great mobs and a fun time to be had all around.

#2 Tactics. cant say enough of the piggy stampede!!! had some of the best duo fun with a chanter down in the piggy room when i was playing my druid. we each had a charmed pet, i would keep em snared, he would keep em hasted and we would lay waste to mobs.
