Would PoP be considered classic if it was released before Luclin?

[Pringles]

They have talked about maybe adding POP zones / planes here that are accessible though classic zones only. Would be sweet imo but I'm sure 5+ years out.

In another post one of the devs (possibly Haynar?) said that if they ever did custom content it would be purely custom, not a revamp of existing EQ zones. Apparently it's a lot easier for them to make new zones than it is to re-create existing ones.

Not saying it won't happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath (even after 5+ years).

PoP would have less stuff to fix I'd think.

Also could just wipe it clean and start from fresh since it doesn't need to be classic or fit any description. Whatever they wanna do.

I would rather they play with the trilogy more. They could do a lot with all the vacant zones that would feel more natural in the world of EQ. I would like to see a lot of long epic quest chains and maybe some adjustment of classes/game mechanics etc.

* Warriors could stand to have a little rework for a more natural way to obtain agro

* Experience could be reworked some to greatly reduce solo in favor of groups and also reduce things like power leveling by adding restrictions

etc etc etc

I would actually like the see them do the opposite on soloing. When Velious comes out VERY few classes will be able to solo. People do not have the time, grown up like most are, with families and jobs, to be in a group for hours at a time, and God help you if you want to Raid in Velious. We are talking Hours before the fight even starts. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So help more classes be able to Solo is what I am saying. Not Classic, but not having the time like when you were a kid in your mom's basement is sort of Not Classic either. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No, gtfo. Worst idea ever. People come here to play CLASSIC EQ, not some modern dumb down solo-quest. If you don't have the time to play, then don't. I only play when I have time. Others come here for the challenge. So don't be a selfish prick. There are countless solo-quest games out there you can go play. We don't want this one turned to shit. That's why this server was made in the first place.

Oh come on, get off your high horse. This is JUST a F'ing game.

I only play when I have the time. NO shit, who doesn't? OH, sorry Honey, I know I shit on the floor, but I just didn't have the time to go to the Pot, It's EQ you know. Shit's not "Classic". Get a grip!

Pretty much agree here. Threads like this are fun for theory questers, but by modifying the game at all away from the classic trilogy, you cheapen the project.

I hate it when people come out with this 'people' nonsense. What you mean is YOU don't have the time to play like you were a kid, but there are plenty of us still living in the proverbial basement who don't feel the game should be changed because you are a functioning human being.

That's easy, fix taunt so it isn't autofail on yellow/reds (live devs eventually said this was an unitended bug that wasn't looked at since kunark) and make bash's stun have similar aggro stun spells (I think this disparity may also have been a bug, I think devs mentioned it when talking about the addition of the furious bash focus, but by that time the meta of the game had evolved too far away from original eq to just fix innate aggro on bash).
