My idea for a new EQ server is a disaster scenario.
An asteroid strikes Norrath directly on Freeport. The areas around are instantly turned into a fiery wasteland. Dust is thrown up into the air and the ecosystem is ruined, except for Odus, small pockets of Kunark, and eastern Faydwer.
The deep asteroid strike has unearthed old demonic Balors, evil Earth Elementals and the like, who now rule the wasteland of most of Antonica. The deep asteroid strike has also brought ancient and powerful artifacts to the surface, and the lost city of Takish Hiz has been unearthed, which is now the centre of the underworld/demonic presence.
The server is a struggle for survival. Players must gather food and resources to rebuild the cities left standing, fighting off other bands of bandits and Mad Max type gangs. If they survive, it is revealed that the gods of Good are giving mortals, via artifacts and divine intervention, means to restore the lands to what they were. But it's up to the players to do so and fight the enemies in their way.
It should play a little bit like Fallout.
