The Magician's Tower

NToV is loads of bad memories. I was COH mage...so that meant I had to maintain ToV faction...which meant standing around for hours doing nothing on raids but COHing pullers here or there or run up and COH a group this or that spot or whatever. Total boredom and even with not fighting I would still get the nasty faction hit on the odd occasion when a named died so that then meant hours of faction repair in Kael. We spent months farming it and I got one piece of gear the whole time (Feshlak's staff) as the guild I was in back then wasn't DKP or bidding but based all gear on some merit based discussion. I am not looking forward to raiding in there, or any of the retread zones of RoF, at all.

They made a big point of removing any negative faction hits from the new instanced version.

Thank god for small favors.

Although fixing faction these days wouldn't take nearly as long - given how you can tear through Kael in a flash.

True that.
You forgot that along with the endless CoH'ing and avoiding faction hits, you were also just a pez dispenser for rods. Summon, drop on ground... rinse and repeat. Nothing else. Lol .... Good ole days.
This time round seems like it'll be fun.

1. Don't use a pet because of the AEs and you can't control it.
2. Stand here and drop Mod Rods on the ground for the healers.

insert quarter please?

Yeah, it was the suck back then. Mind numbing.

Lol, classic. Also no spawning with your gear so you have to tote around several gear sets to try and break back in to get your corpse.

Not to OMG #2.
