1) Manastones are OP as shit UNTIL KUNARK because the item could not be used in Kunark zones. You want these disabled in kunark when its released, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Your only bitching will come from raiders. Casuals will love you if you do this and keep it in game, which should be done.

Excuse me? I'm a raider, and I hate manastones. Have never used one yet. Don't just assume. I agree with you, but you've already set the "I'm a bitchy casual player" tone.

2) Rubicite sucks dick all around its twink gear, even those of us who used it and owned it in classic live knew this, wake up. Sucks dick even more once Fungi becomes available to twink with. Keep in game

Bitchy casual player x2....

3) Open Sky if you implement this zone correctly guilds wont be clearing this on the first try like PoF/PoH and it will open those zones to up and coming guilds due to your current high end guilds competing for bragging rights in Sky.

I can't quite say you're thinking like the average player here. But I personally think it's too soon to open PoSky. Of course it won't be cleared first shot, it's MUCH harder. But I'm also 99% sure that the current high end guilds will keep gods/dragons dead while they are clearing PoSky. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

4) DE Mask should be removed when Kunark is released thats plenty of time this is a hugely coveted item for alot of casual players that never got to get this.

I didn't say this earlier.. but they do have a timeline they are following... I don't think this will change their mind.

Down the Road Thoughts:
A) If your having problems with Sol Ro just scrap it, its really one of the biggest wastes they ever came out with. Save yourself the time and focus on Sky / Kunark. Pretty much every item save for staff of temp flux and maybe 1-2 others are either easily replaced by current lvl 50 gear or early kunark/sky gear. Be careful getting too caught up on being classic and keep in mind even casuals wont use this zone 95% of the time even if kunark wasnt available. Put an NPC in Lavastorm for the staff of temp flux and require some Fire Giant toes for it and call it a day. You'll thank me later!

LOL

B) Open Kunark As much as you think this will "Speed Up" the server it will actually gain your server players and keep things slowed. The reason for this is because Kunark Era wasn't fast. Players will race up into Trak rape his face off and start going into VP. Once they camp VP keys for an entire guild that is, with no boxing on this server this wont be fast. Once in VP they will be slapped in the face, again if you code it correctly. AE's are extremely important in this zone so dont open it with half assed pussy AE's or it will ruin your Casual vs Raider time line. If you can make it hard enough for guilds to progress past Hosh (First real skill check in game excluding sky @ 50) you wont have any trouble with the rest of your server population catching up. If you need help with how this zone works send me an email not alot of players have experience with this zone in the Kunark era. I would be happy to help tell or show you what you need to balance the zone. The great thing about Kunark was it didn't completely ruin Classic hitting Nag / Vox / PoF / PoH was still in your raiding guilds schedule. Add in Sev / Gore / Tal / VS / Trak / VP / AND Epic 1.0 Raids (LOTS of these and a lot are instanced) You will be giving players more room to grow form bigger guilds foster stronger communities level together and make your server better. If you want to stagnant a server for any long period of time this is the expansion you do it in.

No instancing in EQ1. There is triggered mobs, but they still have trigger mobs that spawn. I agree this is the type of expansion that you keep around for a long time, but seriously? Release it soon? Come on... lol.

In closing for what its worth I'm not in any "Raid Guild" on the server and I'm level 13.

No shit? lol

P.P.S If you really wanted shit to be hot open Kunark but keep VP Locked. Use the extra time you need to balance VP and cockblock progression.

LOL. You're like a little evil crazy mad man. 99% of these ideas are way out to lunch. I can't honestly tell if you're trolling, or just don't know any better. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
