Blue -- Custom Content Brainstorm

[uygi]

I have to say I think the purists are hypocrites. There are tremendous similarities between RoK/SoV and later expansions. Adding new level/skill caps, expanding the types of items (Kunark really got the +hp/mana items started, and it grew a lot in Velious), adding new raid content.

Velious changed the way raid content operates more than any other expansion in the first several years- went from 32k mobs to bazillion hp mobs. Kunark's early, cheap, common, low-cost items were often as good or better than anything that didn't drop from a god/dragon before. M2HS? Not much point once you have Kunark content.

I always believed that Nilbog was talking about the scifi cats on the moon, instancing and the mudlfation/hamster-wheel of AAs and bazaar being what the server was NOT about. I never thought it was a totally pure, cultlike adherence to everything being exactly up to day before Luclin. And the last updates before Luclin were handled by SOE as well and I think it shows in Greenmist, Stonebrunt etc.
