What game change would you suggest?

Please take this post with a grain of salt, as although they are things I'd like to see, it doesn't mean we will see them. Also, some of these, if not all of them, may not be considered classic. That said, a few changes I personally want:

1. Beastlords and Berserkers. Just a personal want of mine I've mentioned a few times. I understand they would require a lot of work to implement on this sever, if they ever become a thing on here.

2. Halfling Paladins/Rangers and Gnome Paladins/Shadow Knights able to be created. Would love to make my halfling ranger on here. This would also give rangers a class trainer close to Freeport, as I can't even remember the closest trainer other than a boat ride to get to Kelethin or a run to Surefall Glades.

3. A home button on the character selection screen. If you don't remember, at one point on live, if you logged off for awhile, roughly 30 minutes or one hour, a "home" button appeared for that character on the character selection screen. Clicking it would port that character to where they were bound to. It would help a lot in situations where you may have to log off ASAP, or if you went LD in a dungeon. Obviously, you'd have to wait awhile to be able to use it, to prevent abuse, but it was a feature I really liked.

4. Soul binders in some locations. I've found it hard to get a bind at times in some locations. For example, I want my Paladin to get bound at Qeynos, but noone has really passed through that could/is willing to do so, and getting my low level Shaman bound in the Overthere outpost took over a hour to find someone. I understand the removal of them is suppose to give a classic community feel, with regards to the bind affinity spell, but would still be nice to have some in some locations.

5. Shared bank slots. Would love to be able to use these as opposed to dropping items and praying noone comes along. Would also help getting spell money to other characters.


Thats about all the main things on my wishlist. Again, I realize they may not be considered classic.

The home button thing just wreaks of World of Warcraft to me, where they implemented mechanics that make life easier for the user at the expense of making the world less dangerous. Like every class having a 'gate' (hearthstone) despite being melee.

Same thing with soulbinders, part of the classic EQ experience is relying on others for certain things, binds for melee being one of them.

The shared bank by rights should have been implemented in Day 1, true its not classic but from a lore perspective all of the characters on your accounts are separate people in Norrath, they should be able to conduct trade with one another. It does undercut some small community aspects (like having trusted friends to transfer 100k+ items), but my guess it would eliminate a lot of scamming and hopefully reduce CSR load.

In order to keep the danger, the home button would have to activate much longer than a hour, with that character being offline during that time, to prevent abuse. It's not perfect in a classic sense, of course. Another thought I had was it could potentially help GM's in some situations and lighten their petition load, assuming the scenarios it could be helpful with pop up a lot. That being said, I can understand how it can muck with the classic feel, and don't expect it to ever be on this server. Same with soul binders.
