The new server has me torn. On one hand, I know that some of the unique alterations being proposed might help deter the one-sided nature of the live SZ server. On the other hand, this project is about preserving the classic experience, and I don't know that I'd want a server that's so drastically...emulated.
My biggest problem with emulated servers prior to p99 was always how different they were compared to the live experience. They just felt like some power-tripping man-child's playground. 10 times xp gain, free epics, ultra-bard speed....it was all just so un-EQ and it was not entertaining. So I can't decide whether I want to see the SZ rule set with no changes (which would appease my sense of immersion into the experience) or some modified-zombie SZ (which might prevent evil from just winning outright again).
