not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

variance is crap, but your proposal to just remove it completely also leads to a crap raid scene that actually will require much less skill to get end game mobs.

kunark was not designed to have this many capped characters with epics, dragon haste, vp gear, etc etc etc, PERIOD.

And EverQuest was not designed to let people have multiple free accounts which are not paid for, and did not allow account trading. So you can't use that argument to defend your point when it's not even a legitimate classic scenario that allows you to get to that point.

The truth is if accounts were limited in someway by one account per IP per period to emulate a more classic scenario, and account trading was not promoted with accounts that were traded being banned then this server would not be in the current state. These are the root of the problem which makes the stupid perma camp fest happen today.

you could still have up to what 8 chars on the same account? people just put their chars on other accounts here because it's an option...

edit: also as far as account trading I had multiple people give me their account on live. It wasn't nearly as big a factor as it is here, but it was an option.

When all characters are on the same account its different.

1. You can't have other people log into your other character to do things like power level your own characters.
2. People are less willing to trade their characters, as all their characters were on the same account.

In order to get that kind of freedom you had to buy new box of the game, and pay for the account separately. In its current form on p99 characters and levels are just massively inflated due to this.

I think you are missing the point... without the ability to so easily level and buy characters and then sustain those multiple accounts for free there would not be people with multiple accounts and characters that can then park them at those places.

It's like a domino effect and we've gotten to the point where people that have been playing on this server for so long can do what they are doing because of it.

Hard Core players don't care. I had 9 accounts on live that I paid for every month for years. 3 for my son and 6 for me to 5 or 6 box. Sony loved me. And I loved it also. People in TMO are HARD CORE PLAYERS. They are Pitbulls and love it. And they are laughing their ass off about all the other people on here crying like little girls. I think the Devs are laughing also about this silly thread. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nine accounts... although I find that hard to believe, even if, you're an outlier in the grand scheme of things.

"hard core" players aren't playing EQ classic on a private server, lol. It doesn't take a lot of effort to get into that position. All it takes is starting on the server when it first opens. Once you have the monopoly setup its a snowball rolling down a hill. And that shouldn't exempt you from following server rules so you get your way. Penalties need to be harsher for offenders.

If that's how the devs would treat the overwhelming majority of the server population and you agree with it then it's really fucked up, and you're kind of an asshole.
