luclin *i realize this wont happen lol* or custom content doesn't matter so long as there is SOMETHING to do besides standing around.

also man you guys are bad at following rules like 4 posts in and you're already commenting on peoples suggestions like he said not to do.

I believe that most of the expansions had at least something of value to offer, even if they did get rediculous about dumbing the game down later on. I'd like to hope that if most of the players and developers here worked together, we could come up with a way to keep the elements we like, and leave out the elements we agree watered down EQ later on.

Just one example might be to eventually open Luclin, but change the storyline such that Luclin takes place someplace other than the moon. Perhaps another continent, or an alternate world, whatever the majority would find best fitting with the flavor of EQ. Elements like the Bazaar and Nexus transporters might be left out, or changed. The Vah Shir and Beastlords may or may not be added in to the game, depending upon the majority opinion.

The point is that we have probably got 1000+ people that are taking part in this project if we're exceeding 700 players at peak. We're obviously pretty enthusiastic about this game if we're willing/eager to take part in an emulator of a game that is "ancient" by the ADHD standards of most games these days. There is no reason that we cannot come up with some ways to continue to extend the game while keepimg the essence of what we believe Everquest to be. No, we won't all agree on every proposal, but I think we can come to a better solution than development being driven by execs whose main concern is a quarterly profit sheet (i.e. Sony).

I know I'm in a minority here when I say Luclin. I like the Vah Shirs, I liked some of the raid content there. I feel that overall, it was a throughly unused expansion though. The zones you traveled in, with the exception of a rare few, were dead zones. People passing through to get from the Nexus to the next raid zone. I feel that the creatures were given more then we could handle at the time in terms of health and abilites and players wanted the tried and true.

And as one of the 3 - 4 females on the server, I'd like to say that I prefer dark elves over barbarians.

Luclin

Would love to see some AA's and perhaps GM-created dungeon(s).

They don't have to be the same AA's from Luclin that we had on live, they may be somewhat overpowered for velious content/gear, but some AA's would certainly be awesome

Luclin, without bazaar or Nexus transporters. Ssra and VT were some of my all-time favorite raid content.

Ethanblack 06-05-2010 03:35 PM

I would love to see playable gnolls, sarnaks, kobolds .ect as new races available, along with home continents!
Also, AA's,

I want what the devs have already announced will happen. That's why I play here.

If I wanted something else, I wouldn't play here.

I think after velious is out for 18 months or w/e.
Make a new dungeon with new loot that has cool looks and or different stats. But doesn't make the other gear in the game obsolete. Doesn't have to be a dungeon either could be an outside zone with new camps. Make rare spawns and Ultra rare spawns. With rare loot and ultra rare loot and Hugge loot tables. To give people something to seek for a long time. Items that would drop maybe once or twice a year. I would love if it was in line with gnolls and lizards and dragons and tigers ooo my. Make a large part of it easy enough to do for casuals even small groups. Than add 1 or 2 raid targets. Also full group content with ultra rare pops. In the zones there should also be very rare zone wide drops. Just like sebilis. This would stop people from just camping 1 or 2 spawns and fighting. Just my thoughts :) Would add more but back to the game : ) hehe.


I really wouldn't mind if it is just up to the end of velious. That would give tons to do for years for non-hardcore raiders. Even they could make alts. I wish the content would be worked on to classic perfection before adding anything custom years after velious : )
I don't want luclin because than it won't be a classic server anymore. Every other server has luclin just use those servers.

ribaldron 06-05-2010 04:10 PM

I like the idea of "doing EQ right" - custom content. Steal some of the newer zones if you have to!

Velious was alright, but just leaving it there for eternity would sort of ruin it imo.


Also, you could consider adding the AA system without the rest of Luclin. :cool:
