New Server Rules suggestions

[Wulvie]

That is one reason why I suggested keeping it classic, no expansions....

it would appeal to a whole different crowd...why make two of the same servers with subtle rule differences? (team vs no team)

I think its time people stopped making "how about a server with these rules?" threads. Nice to speculate but there's the "not classic" crowd and everyone else wants exactly what you want, except add LDoN adventures to Luclin zones, start Frogloks in the Felwithe lake, and halflings take on an Irish twist so that you have to walk backwards to go forwards.

You can't remold EQ...and with 25+ expansions you can't lock it down to pre-Kunark or people will get bored and make 100s of threads wanting an expansion or a new server with different expansions and... oh wait.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the 1999 management team just solicit input on exactly that? In fact, that is what prompted me to make this post.

To your point, there is a reason ppl here aren't playing live and it's never ending expansions. There are also reasons why pvp appeals to ppl. If Red1999 as it is appeals to them, they can stay there. If they are looking for suggestions or recommendations on how to make it better AND different, quit being so close minded about what threads ppl post w/ recommendations (like mine).

Yeah, I'm a big proponent of having a server with nothing but classic pre kunark content but it just doesn't work very well in the long run in reality. People get bored quickly and leave, and the 35+ game is a complete clusterfuck because there isn't enough content to support a full server now that everybody knows all the camps, where the best exp is, etc. I started here a year before kunark came out with my girlfriend and we were all into it, but quit twice because it was such a pain in the ass dealing with farmers and whatnot in every single zone you went to. For whatever reason, when people hit top level, getting in the way of everyone else not top level tends to be what half of them do. It's been a lot better since Kunark's been out.

Yes, they did. Now is the time to be making suggestions like this.

Anyone who doesn't want to read it has no obligation to click on a thread.
