WWMD Classic+?

[Ennewi]

What Would McQuaid Do? Before anyone says cocaine, looking for EQ-related answers. Where would he have taken the game or what would he have wanted for the base game?

The alternative question is, what would the community do, though that has been discussed at length already, proposing that with the Wizard class receive the clarity line or a self-only version of clarity, the Enchanter class only able to charm humanoid and other intelligent NPCs, etc. These have been commented on plenty, but include to establish a consensus if preferred. The newer the idea, the better, even if it's fairly trivial.


Warrior bash generates aggro.

Bard NPCs use songs without PC limitations, being able to play Selo's indoors, Highsun at night, etc. Bard NPCs also give positive Mistmoore faction hits.
