BRIEF description of a hybrid hard code/soft code 3-faction ruleset

Meh. Easy to get lost, griefed, lose corpse, etc, and really have no reason to be down there after level 5.

I'll get my kicks hiding in the trees on trainer hill in CB.

Not gonna lie, really excited to see gfay swarming with people. Best memories of TZ ever were around there. Faydwer was actually semi-important, as I dont think we utilized the EC tunnel as effectively. Dont truly remember, I burned a lot between 2003 when I quit and now.

True, but just a thought. Not easy to please everybody with the layout, but Qeynos does have its bad/corrupt side. Would be nice to play on that some how.

Many main tanks on live were wood elves

Also I think you need the following:

1) 1-9 = No pvp
2) 4x exp levels 1-20 (keeps people playing)
3) A way to prevent poopsockers from getting 50 in a day (possibly have level limits like mentioned in the SZ thread):

Week 1: Max lv 20
Week2: Max level 30 etc. up to lv 50

4) Classic zones only

5) No item loot (this always drives off players) or limited item loot (limited to ears and rings) or bags.

Really tough to do though with EQ's race/class requirements and geography.

Really tough to do and imo not worth attempting. Dwarf shamans and dark elf bards would make this easier but it's not EQ. Let the game stand on its own as it was created with as little customization as possible.

The biggest issue with Sullon Zek lauch was that evil team got Cabilis which was remote from all PvP until players got leveled up. By starting with classic only, it reduces the advantage of evil substantially. If you wanted to go with deity teams where good/newt/evil could all start in Qeynos or Freeport and those cities be contested from day one, then making the evil team FFA to itself counterbalances this (in addition to making roleplaying sense... they're evil... they kill indiscriminately).

That way instead of having Grobb, Oggok and Neriak as cities where only evil resides while newt and good are at each other's throats in contested cities, evil has to fight from day one as well.

Was the same on Vallon. Greater Faymart > EC tunnel.

If you boil this down, it's really the classic WoW argument, "I want everyone to be the same/fair!". The shame. I for one am down with the teams not having access to all the classes/races, makes it that much more interesting.

This. I'm willing to tweak it so it can be as balanced as possible, but Everquest, by it's nature, is an imbalanced game. I don't need a server that's perfectly fair to everybody. I just need a server without the glaring imbalance of Sullon Zek at launch.
