/surname instead of having to petition

its the LITTLE things that made classic eq memorable. sure having to stare at a book for 35 levels sucks but dont you remember that as part of the experience? wasn't it so awesome when you finally got over that hump?

I don't know what a lot of you are looking for in p99, but it certainly isn't a classic eq experience.

I was able to /surname on Luclin (server) in Kunark era.

wait.. this isnt classic?

[Splorf22]

Having a GM event where people trade in accounts for illusion masks is way more classic than variance or three years of Kunark. Even Elethia isn't complaining.

95% of the people who bitch about classic in server chat are just trolls. People that actually care post in the bug forums.

or just wipe it clean. less work to hit the delete button. I guarantee the first few months the server would push 1500-2k people. Restart as a classic timeline without all the hax and bloated economy and buys more time to release Velious.

I'm looking for a chance to progress through old content without people hacking and six boxing and without quests from ten expacs later in game that give 20/20 dmg delay weapons. The classic aspect of not being able to /makeleader or link items, or bugs and design flaws like hybrid Exp penalties kept to a timeline is completely trivial and meaningless to me.

Who are you people kidding.

Alt army's beyond 3 lvl 60s are completely redundant. Most of the time, only 2 lvl 60s is necessary.

Worst case scenario having 1 at trak, 1 KC, and 1 at ej/td is all that is needed. For the most part, all you need is 2: 1 at trak, 1 at kc.

Having "alt armies" really doesn't provide a huge competitive advantage in the current raid environment.

You're nuts. A minimum of one character in VP, a minimum of one at Trak. Need one at each of Fay, VS and Sev but you can manage those 3 with two characters between evacs and window overlaps. Advisable to have a toon at Fear portal but not necessary if you answer batphone immediately and mobilize fast. The only encounters that are really solid mobilizations are Inny (unless a guild is parked there), Talendor and Gore(lol). CT is a mess where anything can happen every time so all bets are off. Draco is basically a one-group mob if you do it right and have a good kite/pull.

The only serious problem with Loraen's idea that I see is the epic part. Maybe I'm an idiot, but the only 3 epics I have are SK, wizard and mage; having them trade-in the same as rogue/cleric/shaman/monk epics seems particularly obscene. I like the 25% chance at prenerf fungi, but it should be nodrop. Being able to trade, on average, 4 epic 60 rogues for one prenerf fungi seems waaay too easy for an item that's essentially priceless. I'd gladly 60 and epic a few rogues til I got a prenerf fungi, if it was nodrop I might have to think about whether it was worth it.

And yeah, it's super not classic. Heck having level 60s with epics in the first place isn't very classic pre-velious, so what the hell. I agree, the work for the GMs would probly be a no-go, but they could probably streamline it if they wanted to, something like the /movelog command, maybe /sacrifice <name of character to receive benefit>. For the item rewards the recipient should just get a token, and add a character to PoSky quest room that accepts tokens for rewards; as a fun classic-ish bonus, the guy that accepts should spawn the different turn-in guys and therefore restrict these to one every 8 hours in true PoSky fashion.
