I remember zones taking long enough for the OOT boat to say fuck it and take off. This was pre Luclin too.

When you remain FD long enough, there ought to be like a message that NPCs forgot about you and you don't have to /quit out of the game and relog every time you want a pather to forget you. Which is really dumb. Imagine if you got hit by a goomba in super mario bros and you had to go turn your console & tv off and on, wait a minute, then continue from where you took the hit at.

Oh and Anon/role should've been removed entirely. Dumb additions to game, it's a social game learn to get asked for buffs, rezzes, ports and assistance. Stop hiding.
Thought that way until I got a couple tells asking my druid alt to run and port some random lvl3 from Field of Bone to West Commons and bind them at Freeport. Wut.

A hotkey with the macro "/r sorry, not for hire" takes care of that. Added bonus is the occasional angry "well you just missed out on a 200pp tip" bullshit QQ reply.

I don't understand. Why go through the trouble of creating a replica of original classic EQ only to then turn around and start changing it?

Go ahead, change the game. Ruining it would be classic after all.

Oh yea this! I wish perma was a comparable zone to lguk. I always wondered what norrath would be like if perma was an end game loot zone too!

/r sorry, busy

Fixes that easy. Though sometimes I fill that sort of request, mainly cause Firepot bound.

Really irks when someone who is Anon on every toon they play, requests me to rez or port them. Why would I want to help you if you purposefully /Anon or /role to avoid those exact types of requests.

If you want to talk about creating an entirely new MMO, then it wouldn't be EverQuest anymore, and there are infinite ways to go with that.

I think it's more interesting to make very small tweaks that would make the game feel more classic.

So here's what I would do--not to make the game technically classic, but to make it feel more classic for everyone, and to bring out the best parts of classic:

* Make the world darker, as mentioned by several people

* Ban PLing from people 10+ levels higher. Make powerleveling against the PnP and implement countermeasures to stop people 10+ levels higher from buffing/healing/PLing/killing-for-and-blurring. There would be many ways to do this but just keep making changes until powerleveling by people 10+ levels higher is pretty much non existent. Allow powerleveling by similar level players though--so a druid 9 levels higher can still PL you. There will still be a market for PLing it just won't be as game breaking.

* Ban twinking. Don't let people use stuff that dropped off mobs 10+ levels higher. Crafted items could be the exception.

* Change the nature of currency in the game:

Let players create promisory notes to each other that are authoritated as coming from the player--that is to say each player can add their authoritative "signature" proving that they wrote a particular note. The notes can be traded and kept in special wallet bags that will hold dozens of notes each. Additional bank slots for holding notes will be provided to each character. The notes themselves will weigh 0.1 each.

The addition of player-backed paper money allows making flexible and player enforced contracts. The contracts could be shown to anyone. Reputations could be created and lost.

For coin, keep the same platinum/gold/silver/copper, but make it so there is a fixed amount of platinum pieces, gold pieces, etc in the game. This amount can circulate among vendors and players and banks. Deflation, while bad for real economies, will make the game more immersive as people will actually use gold/silver/copper. To offset deflation, the paper money currencies are available and will be used more and more as time goes on, as likely all the coin will be concentrated in a few hands, who will then use paper money to invest.

It won't create a utopian economy where everyone has abundance and money flows freely. It will create a struggling economy, but one where everyone is in it together, that will increase immersion and make for a general sense of both opportunity and threat.

The promisory notes will intensify the social elements of the game and make trading way more common. Being able to trade or not trade with NPC vendors will become more interesting and meaningful.

ooooooo

Also Daldaen I think the biggest problem with EQ is the random resist system. For example if the myconid spore king were changed from 70% chance to resist slow to 'all slows land, but they are only 30% as effective' I think things would be far more balanced. Enchanters have the same problem with mez: you can mez a L55 monster with a L4 spell.

PCs have the same problem: you can get randomly fucked by nukes even with high resistance; I'd rather see 100 CR = all ice comets hit for 800, 180 CR = all ice comets hit for 200, etc.
