`I would complete all the zones that appeared in the original EQ map that never made it to the game.`

sounds good.

most of them can be found in later expansions. Antonika in Serpent's Spine, Odus in The Buried Sea, and Faydwer - Secrets of Faydwer.

All buffs should be group bound - like in EQ2 - you join the group with a cleric - you get cleric buffs, you leave the group, you loose the buffs - so no cash from buff selling.

RE: wow talents - yeah i don;t like easy swap spec system neither, but general approach to have limited talents is good. EQ's grind 600 AAs just to be considered for a raid guild was sick.

I hated the fact that I couldn't buff people in EQ2 outside of group. I like being able to toss buffs on people, especially lowbies. I've never charged for buffs, and I think nerfing them like that for the sole purpose of preventing buff sales is silly and hamfisted.

yeah and buffying lev 5 guys with lev 50 buffs so they can solo mobs 5-10 levels above them is not cheating? If EQ is a group game, nothing in the game should give you something that allows you to solo - including game buffs from char that are 30-40 levels above you. If game is solo friendly (like EQ2) then no outside buffying is ever needed, unless you grouping for hard content, in which case buffs provided automatically by your group and level appropriate.

I don't care if the game is about soloing or grouping, to me EQ is about the freedom to play as I like without artificial restrictions. Like monks being able to feign and thereby split encounters. If I can cast a buff I should be able to cast it on anyone I please to cast it on.

I agree with this completely.

A perk of trucking it up the tough levels should be being able to help people get efficiently through some of the lower, tedious levels via buffs.

Heck, I'd much rather 60's sat around buffing people that would go out and kill than have the game implement non-social things that just boost EXP gain for people like modern MMOs have done.

I say release Luclin and then Planes of Power. 19 out of 20 people playing here would keep playing and the other 5% would quit for any other reason anyway.

Go play EQ2 then. This is classic EQ.
