I think killing creatures and obtaining items to complete a long drawn out quest would be an option for guilds that do not wish to compete with big guilds for random spawns. Think of it like the solution for jboots. To make sure this isn't the ideal method it should quite some time to complete .. not a week .. maybe more like 3 - 6 weeks to complete with everyone in a guild working in tangent collecting items.
Collect 5000000000000000 goblin ears, add super rare custom items to monsters in places that do not get much activity such as "a shattered dragon tooth" etc etc that has to be collected. Create super slow random named monsters that must be killed and collect the head "Sir Norty the Evil Gnome's Head" .. whatever you get the point. After the entire guild gets all the items together maybe add quest to some NPC .. I prefer to keep to the theme of classic and give NPC a regular name, not like some servers "Turninitemshere TurninNPC1" but that is just me. Back on topic ..
You get the point. These would be fun long drawn out activities for bored smaller guilds and also it wouldn't be attractive to big guilds because the current random spawns would still be the fastest most lucrative option which would be definitely needed if this system was implemented.
You want guilds to look at the competitive option as ideal. The other option is just to keep smaller guilds together, with a goal. If this isn't implemented now, I think it should be considered when custom content is thought about in the future. [You must be logged in to view images.

This would give smaller guilds goals to work towards, keep from getting bored and eventually slowly get loot. It would actually add to the Everquest game. |
I have another idea that isn't classic but ....
Why not use the skins of the current dragons and rename them and add additional raid mobs around the world to the point one guild could not possibly kill all of them. The trouble would be to place the dragons in places it wouldn't look odd and wouldn't cause issues. Make these dragons have different mechanics, spawn times, and maybe a rarer chance to drop any loot. It could be same stats as other dragon loot but with different names.
