EQ as it should have been?

4. As it should have been - Add/Remove things based on the best overall play experience even if these things affect game play (Though not in a MAJOR way), such as everything mentioned in 3 in addition to: removing xp penalties, adding chat channels, un-nerfing pet xp penalties, etc..

Everyone has a different opinion on what gives the best overall play experience. Everyone who plays here agrees that classic EQ even with it's flaws is still better than most any other MMO that they have played.

Well first of all I'm very, very happy to play on this server and grateful to the devs for re-creating the (semi) classic experience, and I also am BLOWN AWAY by the community here. By and large it's considerably BETTER than than the community was back on Bristlebane in 2001-2004 when I played heavily on live.

That being said, I'm definitely in the #4 camp. Why recreate things that everyone knows were mistakes? Why not add in some of the great improvements that came along after the classic years? I think there's a bit too much myopic focus on making it "classic" when really it should be about creating an enjoyable playing experience first and foremost (Some people will argue that making it just like classic EQ IS the way to make it most enjoyable, but I respectfully disagree).

Peace!

I can agree with the sentiment... but It probably helps them to follow the time line of patches and what not to get to proper Velious style EQ.



Pretty sure once it hits final velious stage all the known bugs and everything else will be moot.

Honestly, I'd be happy with either 1, 2, 3 or 4. Since we HAVE number 2, and that is exactly what we are going to get - despite this informal poll - I'm happy.

I like this server and appreciate the work put into it to make it classic.

With that said my ideal everquest server would be one that follows the expansion release time line, but releases the expansions as they should have been.

General Changes:
1. Remove Class XP Penalties
2. Keep ui changes
3. general fixes to quests
4. global chat channels
5. guild management tool

expansion specific
1. release classic with the hole and planes at launch
2. release kunark with epic quests & Veeshan's Peak


can't think of much else but basically take all the optimization that made the game better and the content that should have been there but keep it classic

Yeah, but that doesn't mean keep the flaws. It doesn't make the game better or "harder" other than being more tedious to certain class choices.
