I liked FV one character limit. Not sure how it could be implemented here since accounts are free.

Trivial Loot Code is the laziest solution ever, and it's dumber on a server where you're only allowed one character. I played awhile on FV but burned out pretty quick because my enjoyment of EQ is largely derived from killing the Avenging Caitiff. He drops a lot of nostalgia for me and did back then, even.

TLC was introduced as a way to keep the appropriate leveled characters in their respective zones and to promote roleplaying. So instead of seeing an almost empty Sol A (empty aside from the high level farmers we have there now) you would see groups camping every corner of the zone and individuals cycling through, playing the game as intended. Nothing takes away from someone's RP experience than some farmer soaking up all the nameds.

God forbid a level 20 should be allowed to get a GLS drop off a freaking wisp. LOOK OUT!!!

That's just it. A level 20 shouldn't need a GLS at that point. If they do, then either start anew and try again OR just save up to purchase one from someone even lower than them.

What chance does the appropriate level (12?) have against a 20 when it comes to wisps anyway. I ain't trying to be all hand-across-the-world hippy and spread "sharing is caring" but at the same time, I know what it's like to be outleveled and outgunned when trying to complete lower level quests or obtaining lower level gear.

the thing is it just drove high level farmers out of those zones most of which were willing to help exp groups between named

leaving the zones empty

should combine FV rules + Rallos-PVP rules

almost all items droppable, and item loot on PVP kills

would be so hardcore :)
