EQ: Into the Depths of: The Desert of Ro

EQPlayers has a look at Ro.  The history, the characters, the constant sun and sand in your boots!!  Ah, I can feel it now!  SG to docks!
The Northern Desert of Ro is a vast and deadly desert that lies just beyond the eastern gates of Freeport. Several inns and a few of Lucan's militia can be found with the last, desperate reaches of temperate vegetation carpeting the flat of land just before the rise of the desert dunes. A tunnel carved into the steep ridge bordering the desert to the west, connects the desert to the Commonlands.

To the south, one will meet the sands of the Oasis of Marr, which separates the northern and southern reaches of the Ro desert. Legends speak that what is now the northern Desert of Ro was once the northern reaches of the ancient Elddar forest – the former home of the elves who had once resided upon Antonica, then called Tunaria. This forest was said to have been the most beautiful woodland Norrath has ever seen Spanning the whole of what is now the desert of Ro and Oasis of Marr, this forest is said to have been burned to the ground by the fiery wrath of Solusek Ro.
Ah, the memories!  If you miss the sweet call of SG to Docks, the visage of Lockjaw's massive body dragging across the ground, or constant corpse runs because Dorn just won't die, check out SOE's Living Legacy offering for ex-players!

I am out of touch (just now trying living legacy)
But if you read the write up it's about both Ro's AND Oasis. I find it hard to believe there's no Oasis, since that's what the write up said....but it could be a historical look. In which case, yes, I haven't played EQ in like 6 years. If someone would like to submit EQ news, please feel free!

Oh I wasn't calling you out or anything (which looks like it from when i go back and reread my post,) but I was just confused cause the title "EQ: Into the Depths of: The Desert of Ro" had references to oasis, for the living legacy promotion. And if your taking part in that promotion, it usually would mean you werent playing when the zones got merged. Like how you haven't played in 6 years. Except every other returning player, wouldnt be a news writer, so wouldn't have access to the info about the zones merging, therefore would be confused as to why oasis stuff is in an article about the deserts!

I r confused... ignore me

With the revamp, there is no Oasis anymore. Just north and south ro.
hmm

I'm not really sure, but is Tovin a bit out of touch with eq? Cause, iirc, Lockjaw was in Oasis, not the desert of ro. Same with the whole "SG to Docks" thing, which could of been ro too, but pretty sure it was just oasis.

They combined South Ro and Oasis. So now when the refer to those things, the hardcore remember them separately but those items are still there.
