Medris, I beg of you: Bring back real death!

As you may remember from your days of guiding on live this was never a thing, there was never even a command for a guide to summon your corpse to EC after rotting. Let all who enjoy this game remember the fear of losing your hard earned gear. You simply dont see this today where everything is "easy mode".

While we're at it: item reimbursements are out of control. This should be for scammer reimbursement or confirmed bugged quest only. If you trade to an npc, mess up a quest hand in, or drop/destroy an item let it be gone forever. This is undue GM burden that will burn you out, free yourself. Let Norrath once again feel as we once did long ago on live...


Edit: oh yeah, no more transferring items to other characters from raid kills, even if you are on the kill log. Let's be honest: that is just ridiculous and can easily be exploited

You mentioned wanting to simplify raid policies. Can you elaborate on specific changes you envision, and how you plan to balance player fairness with a more relaxed environment?

Tough question :-) the simple answer is that I don’t know yet.

I know the outcomes I want to achieve - a simpler experience for our players, which should also translate into more straight forward petition rulings for our staff (which, I also think will reduce the turnaround time on raid issues significantly).

I’ve been a GM on the server for a while. If I knew the perfect silver bullet to get there, I would have worked to implement it already. What I’m going to push for is to seek out some ideas with these goals in mind and try some things out.

Are we going to get it right on the first try? Very unlikely. But as long as we’re trying things and learning together, we can only get better.

I'm literally advocating for the purpose of this project. Everything I describe was how everquest was from 1999-2001 whilst paying $9.89/month + retail copies of game/expansion.
