I'd like to have the server start at the beginning and progress through the expansions in the same time windows as happened on live. I'd also want the zero boxing policy to continue to exist as well as restrictions against buying characters/RMT type stuff.
I'd like to progress up to Planes of Power and stop
I would up front fix some of the broken stuff that I consider mistakes.
These would include at a minimum:
- Add mailbox system to allow transferring items between your chars or other chars (similar to live)
- No Manastone ever
- Compass from start
- Chat channels from start
- Soulfire must be equipped (paladin only)
- Sleeper cannot be awoken
- Sneak/Pull would remain a thing but beads and bio-orbs would not.
- Lockets would instead be given by difficult quest available at the start but would get more difficult each expansion to complete quest (never becoming trivial)
- Fungi Tunics/staves and all epics would have a level restriction of 50
- New expansion zones would have old school type connections as well as wizard/druid portals. No friggin' portal books, pads, anywhere in game (including tim deep) other than zone outs such as fear.
- Rogues would have evade from the start
- No hybrid penalties ever
- Try to improve Luclin xp zones
- Monk triple attack would occur a couple of months into Luclin instead of at end of Velious
- ToV would have rooted dragons, but once NTOV trash is killed, it would be down for an hour. (Likely leading to leapfrog racing/fast engages).
- PoM would be completed when it first appears instead of being partially implemented.
- AC would not have a single PH but instead could spawn from any of the higher level spawn points in the zone
- Vulak and Tunare loot drop quantities and categories would be as they were on live (instead of how they are here atm).
- Add epic 2.0 to end of PoP as last hurrah (and make them very difficult to get for all classes).
