What changes could improve P99?

[JerseyFresh609]

I wish P99 had more of a "game as it should have been" attitude then a "as classic as possible" attitude. There are changes that can be made that would still preserve the root gameplay of classic while making the game an overall better experience for everyone. Here are a few of my ideas.

Maps: Everyone is going to tab out and look them up anyway. It won't have any negative effect on game mechanics and just makes things more convenient.

Spell sets: Just handy and again won't effect the actual game mechanics. This can be argued against on red but for blue it's a no-brainer.

Hybrid penalty: Just plane stinks and is removed in Velious anyway. Would maybe encourage more players to play paladins, sks and rangers. Personally the ridiculously long grind caused me to quit playing for quite some time as a lvl 51 pally. Not to mention people discriminate against adding you to a party. People may argue that that's the price you pay for the extra flexibility of a hybrid but there are way more powerful classes then hybrids currently. If I knew the state of the game and the xp penalties when I started playing, no way was I rolling a paladin.

Some form of anti-poopsocking: Whether it be a way for capable guilds to spawn certain targets periodically or a lock out on a mob, say once every 4 spawns, that prevents the same guild from killing it until other guilds have had a shot. It's ridiculous that one can completely lock down mobs via poopsocking. Competition can be nice but sitting on a spawn for 72 hours isn't fun for anyone and I wouldn't call that a competition. Introducing something like this will only keep more players happy.

Casino: Would help get some plat out of the economy and give players a chance at some fun items. Give illusions, consumables and novelty items out so that no gameplay is effected.

Velious will obviously help out too. More raid targets + more content + more gear = more fun.
