Lots of people seem to have a vision of how to improve Everquest, and the tools are at hand to make it happen! Problem seems to be that people have very different ideas of what should be changed, and even of what constitutes an improvement.
So, here we are on the highest (by far) population EMU server, playing the most rabidly un-"improved" version. And it sure isn't from lack of trying by people releasing custom servers...

problem with custom servers that their developers hardly trying to achieve such a significant goal as "improving eq" - they want to give everyone some uber loot at level 1, add cool pets, throw in few custom quests and raids, maybe redo some of the zones, and never even touch fundamental class balance issue.
The only custom server who ever put an effort into building the game from the scratch was Shards of Delay. I can't say I like their vision any better than original eq - even they are barely touched original spells (they only added a few things here and there), but at least they genuinely tried. C+ for the effort

I still believe that future of truly original and spirited MMO is in the hands of private developers, rather than corporate producers, be that soe, blizzard, or anyone else.
