After Velious

[garyogburn]

Luclin implemented alot of good new ideas that kept the game fresh. The bazaar is widely panned on these forums, but it didnt take anything away from the haggling/negotiating that everyone is worried about.

But AA's were the best thing to happen to EQ. I honestly dont see why people are against them. They made it so gear wasnt the only way to customize your toon, and you could fill roles you couldnt before. Everyone became more valuable to a group, and everyone became more versatile.

Id say it would be good if AAs were implemented even if luclin wasnt, and devs created content that they feel should of been in place of luclin. Maybe even create new AA trees. Because if theres nothing to do post 60 in velious with no new content in sight, this server will lose its population quickly.

I would love to see AA's (to a extent) and dev created content of what THEY thought should of come after Vel. The team that put together P99 are clearly a very skilled group of programmers. If they want to develop their own type of expansion that fits the gear set and era that would of come after Vel I would love to see that.

Wipe the entire server once Warder 4 dies and start fresh after Kerafyrm drops everyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I assume it'd be an impossible amount of work to undo Kunark/Velious patches though, perhaps everyone would be allowed to level 1-60 under Velious after the wipe.

I am sure they have backups of different points in the server's life. They may have even planned for this. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For the first go around we have went pure classic. I would love to see a second server along the side of classic next with Nilbog's tweaks on how he thought EQ could have been.

That would be fun and interesting considering what a great group of devs we have and what a solid product they would have to work with.

What would Nilbog change? I am curious. Would he tweak the classes any? Would he possibly add his own custom AAs? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would think they back up prepatches etc and date things. So they can revert if they ever needed to. Just my guess.

The problem with this is other servers have tried and it looks goofy as hell. I may be wrong but I believe they are unable to create new zones only use existing and add things to them. That is what I have seen anyway on these other goofy servers. The zones were designed to come together, once you take a random zone and stick it somewhere then it is goofy and doesn't fit.

You end up with a game where you can obviously tell it was suppose to be a different way. Look how screwed up Shards of Dalaya looks. Changes names of things yet you can still see the old signs up .. ridiculous. Zones moved, just looks like a patched together mess. I do like some things about SoD like their custom AAs and that they played around with tweaking the classes.

Completely true, you are right.

One thing you could do though is take a existing zone and create a new version of it in a instance form. How fun would it be to have a lvl 60 version of Crushbone? Common I know everyone in this game has a grudge on Crushbone for some reason or another [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How about nice and easy (thinking at least)

Bring in AAs and Beastlord class available to all races that it applies minus the Vah Shir...

I'd love new models back, but how would we get to Luclin without The Nexus? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
