Well my issue is with how bad AA's have become on live. I'm not certain there is a cap to them which basically means endless leveling which equates to constantly grinding exp on your main or neglecting your main to play your alts.

If there was a reasonable cap to AA's then I wouldn't mind them but on live people in raid guilds have like 4000-5000 AA's.

That feature basically forces you to choose one character from there on out or be left behind by those that do.

I enjoy leveling up alts and don't want to be told down the line that I'm gimping my main by taking time to levell up a new character to 60.


Agreed.

In my opinion, I would like to see:

1) the pre-60 AAs enabled after Velious has been out for a while.
2) a limited version of Luclin
3) a move towards the PoP content
4) retaining the old-style character models. Trolls should be fat!

PoP was a great expansion. I really didn't enjoy the expansions post-PoP. The "feel" of EQ changed dramatically after that.

New custom expansion, a new continent. You can use luclin gear to up the gear and use zones from the newer expansions. I would like to see a rehash of VT and SSRA, maybe new mob names and bosses for storyline purposes but i liked the zones (well ssra was more of a love hate). But definitely no moon and no AAs. I could see a few luclin and PoP zones, maybe even throw in a couple non-instanced LDoN zones to make a great new norrath continent

I dont mind much, just no beastlords or Space kitties!

Agreed, a limited version of luclin would be cool. I LOVED PoP, Especially if you can COMPLETELY do away with the Plane of Knowledge. Cut that out, and we're phat. Maybe add a PoTranquility book somwhere? Back of Sleepers/NTov?? it would be the type of deal where you'd have to bring a raid force just to get people in, and once ytour in, you'd NEVER want to leave, quite obviously.

oh my god lol. Space kitties. I picture kittens with their little astronaut helmets...

You can not say it any funnier than that. :D

I love a lot of the ideas promoted here, especially finishing the unsolved quests and opening some custom zones from within classic norrath. I also am part of the crowd that wants a modified Luclin/PoP (fading memories!! weeeeee!). One thing that I think worked well in EQ that for some reason they never continued, which I think helps with the life of the server, is what they did with nagafen and vox after kunark. If they bring out a modifier luclin/PoP they could put cap on 'older' content like kunark and velious dungeons (i.e. lvl 60 and under, or less than 30 aa`s). This would help 2nd tier guilds continue their progression without the content being farmed by 1 group 1st tier guilds (and eventually solo'ed). The required level armor also could help prevent older content from being trivialized.

One last thing (before I finish my shift at work), I would like to see more one groupable content for clicky type items that was once so common in classic/kunark/velious, but became more and more rare with later content other than in raids. (i.e. a PoP version of Quillmane or Luclin version of the ancient cyclops).

I love the idea of having access to planes through difficult to reach places all over the old world.

cheers!

The only reason Luclin portals were useful was for old world intercontinental travel by foot, and even then overland travel took a long ass time.

As a druid, I didn't notice a reduction in business after Luclin. How badly do you need to get to Cobalt Scar? You're still running a long ways if you take the spire, and you're definitely running through Skyshrine, hope you have the key and aren't kos...!

Anyway... PoK is what shrunk the world in a bad way, not Luclin. imho.

on topic:
-I am in favor of the luclin expansion, minus the ridiculous hp/ac in VT. SSRA was and is my favorite content.
-I am not necessarily against the bazaar either... Sure, EC is great for classic. I loved it then, It's cool now too, but I'm in favor of the stimulus package to our economy that is the bazaar (in limited form, possibly a single room, none of the other bs)

No bazaar, you ass.
