Heh... this kinda just gave me an interesting idea. Not sure if people are aware of "randomizers" that people use for SNES game ROMs (the Link to the Past + Super Metroid combination randomizer is something to fucking behold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E31Ago0uRwU)

What if each time an EQ server launched the EXP penalties and bonuses and ZEMs and even the loot were randomized (loot would still need to be tiered by difficulty/level, so CoF isn't dropping from Fippy, etc) so it had to all be figured out again. Could take it a step further and somehow rearrange which zones are connected to which, though that might be too weird.

Could be fun, at least once?
