God damn this OP is dumb.

I wish I had more to say, but every time I get through 1-2 sentences of his, I can't even continue reading, and I'm at a loss for what else to say than that.

That ^. Lol.


SOE servers are a joke. And half of what you say sounds ridiculous. People are advertising RMT sales daily. You really don't see people advertising to buy/sell Kronos? That is RMT. The SOE store? That is RMT. I even saw a guy advertising Beam PL's for $8.99 per pull. He said you paid him over paypal and marked it as a "donation" to avoid any legal trouble. Not to mention the insane power bloat (as another member here put it) as well as mercs and some of the other crazy things they decided to add to the game.

TBH, the best suggestion I ever saw for making a good server was on this very forum. Guy said to add in classic/Kunark/Velious, skip Luclin, and add in PoP. Remove the books for fast travel (so wizard/druid port is the only way to get to PoK) and then remove PoT. Then you make connections in old world zones for all of the new planes. I don't remember the specifics of where they placed the spots but they would all work like PoFear now. Basically a spot in a zone where there is a portal/item to click that brings you there if you meet the requirements. I want to say Bertoxxulolus realm was in Qeynos Sewers, in the suggestion? Rallos Zek's zone-in would be somewhere near the Ogre homeland, perhaps inside the town? Etc for each of the individual planes.

I'd play that shit. Classic + some extra places to enjoy without ruining the overall dynamic that a classic server has. But then again, p1999 already mostly fits that anyway so it isn't a big concern.

That's a good suggestion Sirken, but i can see several issues by doing that.

If you skip Luclin and directly go to PoP, how do you fix the gear progression? Would it be possible to go from Velious gear and transition directly to PoP, hp/mana/dmg wise?

Also, skipping Luclin altogether and going straight for PoP would require a tremendous amount of tuning, as the content is tuned not only for gear but for AAs as well, and i remember reading somewhere on these forums that Rogean scrapped the entire AA code. What would we do about that?

Other than that, i think it's a great idea. Luclin was my favorite expansion but i understand why people would want to skip it. Assuming your proposed changes get implemented and everything is fine-tuned correctly, i think your suggestion would be a boon for p99.
