So far, we know that the Kraken has a possible chance of existing. But there's a creature we have yet to take a screenshot of: Megaladon, the gigantic shark in the Ocean of Tears.

Could it really exist or is it just a myth?

They're all myths I'm afraid.

I'm basing this conclusion on two facts:

1) You can more or less tell what's in a zone by examining the textures in the zone files

2) Verant just isn't cool enough to do stuff like that.

Actually they could sneak something by us.... they can stretch textures to different sizs, they have already shown that. Plus they hid an entire city from us.... you know.. the one at the bottom of CC. Or atleast attempted.....

No they havent done it yet... but that can...

Maradon, it doesn't rule out the possibility of it existing, and we just haven't been able to get a picture... many people have supposedly seen Megaladon swimming around the Aviak Spires. His fin is supposedly as big as a hill giant!

Well.. there's one thing I admire about Verant..
They left room for expansion in some places.
Where they hastily made Kunark zones, they left some small places to make extra zones later.
One example of this is in the Lake of Ill Omen.
If you swim near the bloodgill underwater tower, at the bottom there is a zoneline-like area. But it ends up being just like when you lag right before you try to zone into somewhere. You go a bit farther in, and you hit a wall.

What was I talking about again?

Don't forget the rarest beast of all: Verant Customer Service.

Does it truly exist? Or is it merely myth? Some claim to have seen it, others claim it's a rumor spread to keep people playing.

You decide.

I'm not saying that it has a real chance of existing, but it's nice to think about.

I mean, we already know about ghosts and dragons and everything. There should be SOMETHING secret that we still haven't discovered.

There used to be rumors of the Loch Rathe Monster.... and such a critter existed (sorta) in beta.... It was a bigass shark and was dragon level.....

Mayong Mistmoore used to exist in beta as well.... He was a hybrid Warrior / Wizard class..... Multi hit for 300's then IC your ass for fun.

I hate to disenchant everyone, but I've ruled out the possibilities of anything that cool existing in EQ, based upon my previous experience with Verant's creative team and what they're capable of and prone to do.

If someone offered me a billion dollars for a screenshot of anything like this Megaladon thing, I'd send the poor guy away without even bothering to look over the zone. I'm that sure that it doesn't exist.

I think cool things like this, at one point, DID exist. The Kraken, I'm sure, existed at one point, but not anymore. Just like Mayong Mistmoore existed. I'm sure a buncha cool stuff like this existed at one point. Just not anymore.

Megaladon, however, I've got no doubt is a fake. It could be easily hidden in texture files, it IS, after all, supposed to be a giant shark. However, even if it was at the bottom of the Ocean of Tears, just by the pure size of it, it would have been spotted. It would have been on some Ranger who was looking for his corpse after being killed in the water's track. It would have glided past some guy who could have gotten off a screenshot or seven. It would eventually have some part of it poke above the water. It would have been known, for sure, by now wether it existed. If it did.
So, Megaladon probably dosen't exist.

Shhh. Everyone will hear us. Everyone will know.

I think it may exist, but only as a GM creature.

Then again, they could just make a HUGE shark, and call it that anytime they wanted to.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Megaladon COULD exist, but only once in awhile. Megaladon could appear when a GM gets bored, but really rarely. Sort of like how a GM plays as Mayong Mistmoore.

Main reason stuff like this isnt in is people whine when they get killed by something like this.

So Verant removes it, sadly.

Whiners and exploiters control EQ.

Following that logic, there'd be no mobs left anywhere in the game.

Oh, that's the entire point you see.

I figure perhaps my boundless disrespect and criticism will, if they see it, MAYBE motivate them to improve.

imagine if the shark could target us on a boat if it existed!!!!! That screen shot of a huge shark about to bite down on a boat or you would be awsome to take. Then again they would have to make boats respawn and that would piss off the people on the boat.
I agree with maradon ive traveled on that boat many a time and i even swam it. The chances of seeing this big ass shark about aboupt as good as seeing shamoo in EQ

I seriously hope Megaladon doesn't exist. Imagine what would happen if I fell of the Maiden's Voyage and was promptly devoured by EQ's largest shark.

Not only would I be freaked out, but that would be one hell of a CR.

hmm Well maybe it Faydedar it's a water dragon.. very freaky lookign thing actually looks nothing like a dragon like a giant fish tryin gto evolve in to a salamander or frog. It's dragon level(duh it's a dragon) though people may just see it's fins not it body anyways fayddedar guards the firpot portals and um I think megladon is fake cause if they made a giant shark they'd put another name. Or call it a Giant Shark or something like that or even Jaws:P
