Are we really speculating that server might get rebooted?
Heres my dream server:
- FFA 4 levels, at all levels.
- Item loot, one item, no weapons or slot at the bottom, only the stuff thats unbagged.
- No xp loss
- One time dev effort to automatize an event like the halloween event of 2001 on Rallos where people are allowed to loot no drop gear to offset the harshness of item loot. Once its done, it can be turned on by a GM at will i assume.
- A little more effort would be to patch in a set of moderatly powerful no drop gear in a couple of events over the map. One low tier, say level 15 ish mobs, One mid tier, say level 30-35ish mobs and maybe top tier, 50ish, but maybe raid loot covers that.
-------
If devs still think item loot would be too harsh, second best option to me would be to patch in a voluntary system of flagging for people who want to add spice to their pvp. Like you hail a NPC, it flags you for a week, you are not able to unflag yourself for a week. You can now loot and be looted by other people who also flagged themselves. DMG % must be attained by flagged characters before looting is allowed, to prevent exploiting. To be tweaked by people with more experience in EQ than me.
