Borrowing FV's old ruleset could perhaps improve P99

I liked FV one character limit. Not sure how it could be implemented here since accounts are free.

They eventually allowed up to 3 characters per account that way and there were loop holes around the TLC when Luclin launched (raid groups > TLC). It was just inconvenient enough to where only some people would exploit it.

Trivial Loot Code is the laziest solution ever, and it's dumber on a server where you're only allowed one character. I played awhile on FV but burned out pretty quick because my enjoyment of EQ is largely derived from killing the Avenging Caitiff. He drops a lot of nostalgia for me and did back then, even.

TLC was introduced as a way to keep the appropriate leveled characters in their respective zones and to promote roleplaying. So instead of seeing an almost empty Sol A (empty aside from the high level farmers we have there now) you would see groups camping every corner of the zone and individuals cycling through, playing the game as intended. Nothing takes away from someone's RP experience than some farmer soaking up all the nameds.
