Another great video.. Thanks Flatts... I would like to see a future video on a bunch of the newbie zones that we all feel nostalgic about such as: Crushbone, Blackburrow, Everfrost, Misty Thicket, Stonebrunt Mountains... etc... Thanks, Jathor
+Jathor2000 Thank ye sir. The original plan was to start off with the cities and then progress onto zones like you mentioned. Going to focus on finishing up the cities for now but it sure is a possibility ;)
I just got done watching your Qeynos and Freeport videos and was saddened that you didn't continue this series. I've always thought of Everquest as a DnD setting but its never really explained to you well and you have to dig for it. These videos are well made and help provide good overviews of the region and of some of the history and story happening in them.
Thanks for the kind words, I do have hopes to finish off all the cities in classic EQ some day, for now I have decided to focus my time on finishing all the things I want to do with my monk, so this series took a back seat. One day it will return
I'll look forward to and hope that does happen one day! I thought these two videos were the perfect examples to tell my friends about EQ. Out of my group, I'm the only one who started MMOs with EQ and trying to explain what it was like to them is hard to do. Getting a nice look at parts of the game with some of the interesting bits presented was helpful. Good luck with your monk! I saw you streaming earlier but unfortunately I couldn't stay to watch.
Bit late, but I just discovered you had more everquest videos on this channel. Thanks for making these videos, and especially for "Everquest: A Retrospective," I listen to that one a lot! Hopefully you will get the time to make another city video :)
This and your qeynos video are are among my absolute favorite videos on UA-cam. Watched both of them numerous times. Wish you’d do more of these. Either way thanks so much for making them, fantastic stuff!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I just resubbed to the time locked progression servers and I was horribly disappointed to find out Freeport was revamped. Really nice to see it in original footage
Impressive work, Flatts. I may have said this before but you've really stepped up your game on your video editing and production. Makes for a very enjoyable watch. It must take you awhile to gather all the information for these city videos. Chalk full of information, to which I didn't know a lot of. I like the backstories you give of towns and people. It connects dots for me that I didn't realize were connected. Please continue doing this. :) It gets me wanting to hop back into EQ every time I watch one of your videos. Also, I vote Halas first (although I would be happy watching either one). :)
Even as someone that doesn't play a bunch of EQ/p99 I really enjoy these videos. Just wanted to give my vote for more of them regardless of which city you do.
MY HOME TOWN! Shoutouts to all my homies: Gren Frikniller (good guy), Toxdil, Lady Shae (she a freak) and good ole Boomba Da Big and Ping Fuzzlecutter! What a city!! I really miss Everquest...
absolutely awesome. played forever and never knew the lore, your videos of the shackle monk quest lines are epic themselfs.. keep going we love these videos!
Alright it's me again, just rewatched this video and wanted to say thanks again. I might be sounding a bit repetitive but this is one of the best ones I've watched on youtube. I'd love to see a new one!
I played EQ nearly 20 years ago, I started right after Velious came out. I stopped shortly after LDoN came out but this immediately refired my interest. I wanna play P99 just from these 2 cities of Norrath videos. I played a 65 DE SK and so I vote for Neriak as the next one! This was AWESOME!!
I started at the beginning as a HEF PAL in FP. NO ONE! told be about DOUBLE exp pen :( Again I'DA like to see you focus on individual city... And quests of. /Giggles your using FRAPS
I really enjoyed this video, much like the one about qeynos. I'm very much looking forward to the next one about rivervale. You asked for input about which one of the two to do next but honestly I'd love to see either. What I'm really hoping for you to do though is Kelethin. Whatever you do I'm sure I'll enjoy it very much so thanks for this latest addition to the series. Hoping to see many more!
Oh, one thing I forgot to say, you said you like to keep the videos around 10 minutes but for a complex place like Freeport I don't think you should limit yourself to that. Perhaps you could make several about one place, I would certainly watch them all.
+Erik Larsson If I ever get around to it, I would like to go back and make videos about some of the things I missed or left out of certain cities. But at the rate I get content out I wouldn't hold your breath for it to be out anytime soon =p Unfortunately I am a slow worker.
+TheFuns1 Thats great, do you perhaps know anything random stuff about Neriak that would fit into the video? Thats one of the cities i know very little about haha.
Awesome video! Looking forward to Rivervale since I know absolutely nothing about that place. My vote is for Neriak! I don't know anything about Neriak as well... I guess I do'nt know much in general : D
Opal Dark Briar actually killed the High Elf Guild leader and trapped her soul into a gem. The Freeport Sourcebook also tells that the High Elf Guild leader is in a romantic relationship with the guild leader of the warrior guild and that (when she is too long in her High Elf form) she has problems to "come back" to her usual self
Subscribed because I've enjoyed many of your videos--- thank you !!! Also-- for Rivervale, look into Gunrich being on the Deeppockets faction (halfling rogue guild, as well as other rogues). He seems to be in love with one of the female rogues: wiki.project1999.com/Blackburrow_Stout_Quest Also the Shakey Scarecrow quest never seemed to be fully solved from what I remember. oldunsolvedquestsineverquest.yuku.com/topic/362/Shakey-the-scarecrows-head?page=#.VyJhDXrwviw Aaaand there were rumors out there that some goblins would drop grappling hooks to get over the wall in Misty Thicket. everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=1&mid=1097196956871981644 Hope at least one of these seems interesting enough for a spot in the video, and I hope you enjoy learning more!
+SweGunner71 bards and enchanters have spells in the game that allow you to bind your camera to a NPC. You dont get to control it but you can control the camera as it moves. As for the rest its usually a mixture of levitate, feign death and video editing ;)
+Flatts Ah... I played the game on the highest of raid guild level between 2000 and 2009 on live, (an Iksar Monk, whaddayaknow...?) but I never had any alts, so even though I know a lot about being a monk, I know next to nothing about other classes. I thought you were having a local installation of a game server, where you could script stuff and such anyway you wanted to. Like how Sir Lucan and that other guard were fighting each other. (Unless you were playing an echanter, and had the NPCs under a control spell, of course)
Wished this area could have been better fished out and developed as it’s own. Like having an underground city from start to finish from guild masters to bankers, but the rest of these zones were rushed out as back then games didn’t make money until they were out of beta and released.
dude it has been 2 years, we need more stuff like this please
5 now. Still need.
@@Treklosopher 6 Years, still holding on for Rivervale
February 2023:
I think it's well and truly dead....no more of these type of videos for 6 years. Too bad they were good!!!!
Dude its been 4 years, we still need more stuff like this!
Jokes aside, I really love your content!
This is awesome. You are awesome. It makes me want to play so bad. Also sad at the same time. I feel like i have missed out on so much.
that freeport gates song always gets me
Great video. It's rare to see such high quality video of this game.
This makes me want to play EQ1 again
Dude this video was amazing, I LOVE this series!
yup it was
Thank you for this! Found it at the end of 2020.
Neriak would be interesting.I would go in there and look around alittle,but all heck would break loose as I was a wood elf druid.
Just waitin' in 2020 for that Neriak video.
I didn't mind traveling all the way to Halas for my new Shaman spells, the mourning was always an adventure anyway.
Fantastic video! Please keep them coming, would love to see Neriak.
I was so happy to have found this series. I love the two episodes! Too bad it has stopped for so many years.
You make the best everquest content man.
The photography shots are quite good. i love the shots of the boat leaving sped up with the sun on the horizon.
My vote is for Neriak. Keep them coming, I am loving these.
you paint a lovely picture of these old cities, they look so busy and lively
I miss the old version of Freeport.
Another great video.. Thanks Flatts... I would like to see a future video on a bunch of the newbie zones that we all feel nostalgic about such as: Crushbone, Blackburrow, Everfrost, Misty Thicket, Stonebrunt Mountains... etc...
Thanks,
Jathor
+Jathor2000 Thank ye sir. The original plan was to start off with the cities and then progress onto zones like you mentioned. Going to focus on finishing up the cities for now but it sure is a possibility ;)
Extremely well done. After you do Halas or Neriak I'd love to see one on Kaladim.
Super happy to see you posting again. Cheers!
Halas! This and the Qeynos one were such a trip down memory lane. Please make more! The view count doesnt lie 🙏
Befitting the dark elves, there's lots of juicy lore about Neriak. That one gets my vote.
Love the lore! I never knew EQ had so much going on behind the scenes!
I just got done watching your Qeynos and Freeport videos and was saddened that you didn't continue this series.

Great video Flatts, would like to see Halas done next.
Love these videos, and used these to acquaint myself with these cities while traveling from Queynos to Freeport for the first time.
Halas! Great video mister! I hope you are still making them. I really enjoyed this.
Bit late, but I just discovered you had more everquest videos on this channel. Thanks for making these videos, and especially for "Everquest: A Retrospective," I listen to that one a lot! Hopefully you will get the time to make another city video :)

I love this video and the Qeynos one. I’ve watched them both many times. Please make more!

+QFuzzle Thank you as always Mr.Q Fuzzle!
Even as someone that doesn't play a bunch of EQ/p99 I really enjoy these videos. Just wanted to give my vote for more of them regardless of which city you do.
Incredible video! You obviously put a lot of work into this. Please do Halas next, it's my favorite city!
My vote is for Neriak. I love that city's atmosphere.
MY HOME TOWN! Shoutouts to all my homies: Gren Frikniller (good guy), Toxdil, Lady Shae (she a freak) and good ole Boomba Da Big and Ping Fuzzlecutter! What a city!!
I really miss Everquest...
absolutely awesome. played forever and never knew the lore, your videos of the shackle monk quest lines are epic themselfs.. keep going we love these videos!

This was awesome, I have so many great memories of Freeport. I really miss Everquest sometimes.
Neriak, also, welcome back Vareous
Omg that quick swoop through the EC tunnel I saw several people I play with today =)
Glad to see you ended up making another! Looking forward to the rest of this series, consider myself subbed. :)
do more stuff like this please!

I have been waiting for abother video!! Awesome video Flatts!!
I love this series and I love the focus on lore.
I would love to see information from the original developers about the cities!
This is a fantastic video! Definitely going to look into your other ones. You should consider putting more into your channel. You have a knack.
Need more Cities of Norrath profiles!
Incredible. Appreciate the work you're putting into these and the much of the lore is new for me. Keep it up man!
Neriak, please. It was my home for many many years!
How can Opal Darkbriar be at the two places at the same time? That's one powerful wizard.
3 years later the third video or what?
i wish you kept making these videos
Awesome! Waited a long time for this one.
Been waiting for this video! Great job! My vote goes to Neriak for the next video.
Halas! Although I never had a DE, so that could be interesting too.
I love these! Keep them coming Flatts!!
I'd love to see the rivervale lore
Thanks for the information! it helped me to know to gain faction with North Freeport.
Next city Halas plez. Love your show!!! 💕
totally freakin awesome!!! loved it! can't wait for more!
Nice find on the Opal Darkbriar lore. I knew about the mystery but I'd never heard the full story. I think Qeynos is pronounced KEY-noes, btw.
Still waiting for Rivervale :(
Nostalgia...
Can't wait for the next vid, Goobler!
Will the other cities ever have videos? Cuz this series has a lot of potential to be fucking epic. This video along with the Qeynos video are awesome.
I really enjoyed this video, much like the one about qeynos. I'm very much looking forward to the next one about rivervale. You asked for input about which one of the two to do next but honestly I'd love to see either. What I'm really hoping for you to do though is Kelethin. Whatever you do I'm sure I'll enjoy it very much so thanks for this latest addition to the series. Hoping to see many more!

Halas! Thank you for the vid, this series is EPIC :D
Good job !
Thanks for the video Flatts. Oh and I hate playing against R.Mika >.>
Do you have any recent videos regarding EQ, Flatts?
There is no next one :(
Love this series. I vote Halas.
awesome, love this.
Awesome!!!!!!
Great video
Neriak!! Every char I've had has been a DE, but only because that's the one city I know so well.
+TheFuns1 Thats great, do you perhaps know anything random stuff about Neriak that would fit into the video? Thats one of the cities i know very little about haha.
Awesome video! Looking forward to Rivervale since I know absolutely nothing about that place. My vote is for Neriak! I don't know anything about Neriak as well... I guess I do'nt know much in general : D
+Michael's shenanigans lets not get ahead of ourselves now, you at least know how to string together some video clips ;p
So those videos still in the works or....
Maybe you two could do a collaboration!
You are awesome.
Opal Dark Briar actually killed the High Elf Guild leader and trapped her soul into a gem. The Freeport Sourcebook also tells that the High Elf Guild leader is in a romantic relationship with the guild leader of the warrior guild and that (when she is too long in her High Elf form) she has problems to "come back" to her usual self
Well done flatts!!
Go for Halas after Rivervale
Subscribed because I've enjoyed many of your videos--- thank you !!!
Also-- for Rivervale, look into Gunrich being on the Deeppockets faction (halfling rogue guild, as well as other rogues). He seems to be in love with one of the female rogues: wiki.project1999.com/Blackburrow_Stout_Quest
Also the Shakey Scarecrow quest never seemed to be fully solved from what I remember. oldunsolvedquestsineverquest.yuku.com/topic/362/Shakey-the-scarecrows-head?page=#.VyJhDXrwviw
Aaaand there were rumors out there that some goblins would drop grappling hooks to get over the wall in Misty Thicket.
everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=1&mid=1097196956871981644
Hope at least one of these seems interesting enough for a spot in the video, and I hope you enjoy learning more!
Brooo... I've watched all of your videos multiple times, how the hell do you get all these crazy models and camera shots n shit of the game?
Is it too late to vote for Neriak?
Great vid man
Freeport is a mirror of qeynos. Just less defined as it wasn’t the projects sandbox when the project was seeking funding.
please make more videos like this
Judging from the length of time since your last vod, i'm guessing you don't make them anymore?
For me, it is still the best Online Adventure RPG
do a strawpoll for those cities. BTW halas
Did you give up on this series of videos?
Halas, please!
Neriak!
Btw, how do you record these videos where you run around undetected as if in some "super god mode" or take control over NPSc?
+SweGunner71 bards and enchanters have spells in the game that allow you to bind your camera to a NPC. You dont get to control it but you can control the camera as it moves. As for the rest its usually a mixture of levitate, feign death and video editing ;)

(Unless you were playing an echanter, and had the NPCs under a control spell, of course)
+SweGunner71 ah yea, stuff like that I use private servers, you are correct!
Halas! :)
Neriak ftw!
I may or may not be in this video killing crocs
“Was” a hub of antonica
Wished this area could have been better fished out and developed as it’s own. Like having an underground city from start to finish from guild masters to bankers, but the rest of these zones were rushed out as back then games didn’t make money until they were out of beta and released.
Neriak
