The only point I agree with him is that we can not re-live the immersion we once lived but I fail to see what bringing some heavy change such as making charm a permanent effect has to do with it. Even if it is just charm animal, this is a very heavy change that is game changing. Zuranthium point is that it won't matter at high level (disagree again but hey, let's assume that's right); what about the population who is in no rush to level and stays in their 20-40 for a very ling time? For them, this change alters their experience deeply.

The Charm Animal change would hardly be a "heavy change" as you put it, nor would it "alter the experience deeply" for people who aren't trying to rush. It would be making a poorly implemented skill line more viable, but still irrelevant to high end content, and more true to the RPG flavor intended for Druids and Rangers. I'm not sure how you can disagree with my assertion of the skill being irrelevant to high end content; there are factually NO animals to charm in any of the high-end grouping zones. Please, by all means, point out where I am wrong about this if you believe so.
Nobody would stop playing on this server if it was implemented, rather only some players would be happier as a result of having an ability that is true to the RPG feel of their class and cements them as the masters of the outdoors. There would be considerable time investment in adventuring through a zone to find the animal companion you want, forming a bond with it, and then making sure it doesn't die. This isn't just a regular caster pet that can be summoned on a whim - the Druid/Ranger has to specifically seek it out and repeat the process if the pet is killed.

Up to now, with the exception I've just mentionned about the immersion, everything I read from Zuranthium appears to me as an idea he has had and quickly came to post without giving it a second thought to see if it was valid or understand the impact it would have. Coming from someone who barely ever posted before, people will consider him like a troll and treat him as such.

I do not post ideas on a whim, everything has been very thoroughly considered and comes from an extremely knowledgeable classic Everquest background. Obviously you, and others, would like to think I'm trolling because I only recently started posting here, but that's your own false perception. I play p1999 now and I care about the classic EQ experience and I would love to see a great game that continues the spirit of classic EQ.
