unlocking good changes to the game.
 
I understand we want the classic feel of Everquest back, which is awesome. However, some changes were good changes which shouldn't be removed.

List here the things you would like to be added to the server even though they were not in classic.

I'll start:
Soulbinders - I'm a druid, so I can bind myself, so this is not for me, but they're very handy. And nobody is making money with binding people I think. Often there is nobody around to bind with this relatively low population.

Shared Bank - Removes the need to drop stuff on the ground to transfer or to have another person transfer it for you (in the hope he won't run off with it)

/melody - I haven't seen a bard yet that twists 3-4 songs at the same time. I hear a bug is preventing it? Maybe /melody will help with the issue. And I used to play a bard in live. it's not that fun to be expected to twist 3-4 songs in every group. Twisting requires a lot of button tapping. And I mean A LOT and constantly.

soul binders are something i could either go for or without, np either way there

shared bank not working is, to my understanding, an emu-wide problem and extremely difficult to fix


melody being implemented is something i've supported for YEARS on every emu i've played on. I leveled a bard to 60 on vztz, got him his epic, and then never logged him on again because twisting is so annoying. there's a reason that even on 2000+ player servers on live there were still only a handful of raiding bards.

Implementing melody is a great idea for this server and will revolutionize the make-up of the server population by class

Sorry, but this should be moved to Rants and Flames.

Pff, keep soulbinders. I love people paying me money for binding them ;D Shared bank would be nice because you don't have to be uber risky about losing goods or getting scammed.. but melody is just cheap and takes away from the classic gameplay.

You should check out IB! Our bards do it on a regular basis. ;)

As a bard, I say BOOOO melody. It separates the good from the bard!

1. No. Relatively low population? We're regularly hitting 500+ and it seems half of them are druids. I haven't had many problems getting a bind for my alts.

2. No. I like the rush of knowing my bag of twink gear may be gone cuz some stealthy rogue snuck into my little safe spot with me. That's classic.

3. No. Real men twist. Else there's 50 bajillion half-assed bards running around. (I never could twist, dammit. Hurts my old, arthritic fingers.) And it DOES separate the good bards from the wannabes.

I agree for the binding, if not only to encourage new players with the lower population.

Please, please please no soullbinders. I hated them when they put them on live and I hate them to this day, even with a melee toon.

There's no need for soulbinders, there are casters in MOST major cities at any given time.

As far as the shared bank, find a guildmate to help you, or do it the way we all used to do it, sometimes, it sucks when your shit is gone, but what can you do.

No comment on Melody as I know nothing about it.

I agree, it's kind of like cliff diving without the cliff... which I guess would just be diving which isn't as big of a deal, but you know what I mean.
