None of these servers are truly classic. One of the custom changes I find particularly amusing & annoying, depending on what situation you are in... is Line of Sight for spell casting. Talk about kicking casters right in the nuts. Casters never had line of sight checks.
The whole 'greedy' merchant custom change is another one I laugh about... and some people still don't even realize it's a thing. This is obvious because people still sell shit to these merchants, when they could walk 5 steps to another merchant and sell for double the price.
They are all custom boxes, but sadly, they are the closest thing we will get to classic. But I digress...
We need TEAMS. If left to a FFA ruleset...A lot of you guys like to talk tough, but most of you wind up taking the path of least resistance and joining that one big zerg guild to get your easy pixels. Very few of you choose team underdog, or 'guild B' underdog and take the fight to 'guild A' zergfest.
2 completely balanced teams, East vs. West style laid out by nilbog. Or 3 teams SZ / DAOC style is what this new server needs.

I pretty much agree, and there should be no item trades or buffing, healing, or grouping between teams 1 character per loginserver account maybe? IDK. There are plenty of ways to discourage crossteaming I saw the devs talking about it on streams and lots of posts about it here I don't have to re-iterate.

One custom change that I think a lot about is disabling exp loss so people simply cant delevel high lvl twinked alts. Or *gasp* no pvp at all until lvl 40-50, and when kunark launches bump that up to 49-60. But my favorite pvp is lower lvl and in the planes between small guilds not massive zergs vs one or two xudes training. An alternative to people being twinked is to level scale stats on higher lvl items total item percentage so people with a fungi on a lvl 17 character only get like 1+hp regen instead of plus 20. That requires a lot of custom work tho. but can bet tailored to specifically OP items like epic weapons and fungi stuff
bluebies aren't good at pvp and to recruit them they need an environment they can pvp in with like, training wheels, and most of us are lazy even people who played on red99 for years. I am super lazy. I prefer to spam chat and forum posts rather than play most of the time, I am afk on the box.
