There's not a day that goes by that I don't wish for spell sets to be reinstated...:(

If I wanted #4 (which I don't), why would I play on a server like this one that won't have those things?

Every other server has that stuff, so it's not like there is a lack of choices.

Besides, don't (some?) XP penalties go away in Velious anyway? I honestly don't know, but it may help some people who are strongly against them.

Racial penalties stay, class penalties go.

1 but 2 works im a true classic fan and q more on the pet - try being a sk

I too, love this server, as it's given me a chance to experience things I didn't get to on live. I still wish I had discovered P99 earlier, since I've never been even close to end-game pre-Kunark. For example I never really EXPed in Mistmoore on live, but on here I've spent a lot of time there and it turns out it is one of my absolute favorite zones in the game.

Anyway, I do sort of miss things like LFG channel and worldwide Trade/Auction channel. I recall my Live server having a channel specifically for Ragefire rotation which ended up also being a pretty decent social environment (could easily be replicated through IRC). I don't recall when item links were added but I think it would be kind of bleh to take them away this far in.

Personally even though it would take some work, I'd love to see things like the additional races and classes as well as AA added into a classic environment.

I'm in the #4 camp.

Beastlord class was pretty cool, shame it had to come with Vah Shir.

Everyone has a different opinion on what gives the best overall play experience. Everyone who plays here agrees that classic EQ even with it's flaws is still better than most any other MMO that they have played.
