EQ as it should have been?

[mwatt]

Honestly, I'd be happy with either 1, 2, 3 or 4. Since we HAVE number 2, and that is exactly what we are going to get - despite this informal poll - I'm happy.

I like this server and appreciate the work put into it to make it classic.

With that said my ideal everquest server would be one that follows the expansion release time line, but releases the expansions as they should have been.

General Changes:
1. Remove Class XP Penalties
2. Keep ui changes
3. general fixes to quests
4. global chat channels
5. guild management tool

expansion specific
1. release classic with the hole and planes at launch
2. release kunark with epic quests & Veeshan's Peak


can't think of much else but basically take all the optimization that made the game better and the content that should have been there but keep it classic

Everyone has a different opinion on what gives the best overall play experience. Everyone who plays here agrees that classic EQ even with it's flaws is still better than most any other MMO that they have played.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean keep the flaws. It doesn't make the game better or "harder" other than being more tedious to certain class choices.

Keep the responses coming guys and say why! Again I'm going to make my argument for number 4. People keep reminding me of even more changes that were made to improve the game over the years but I had forgot to mention. Like pets zoning, spell menus and saved spell sets. These things add to the experience without breaking anything that makes this server so great. Those improvements are just convenient, not truly game altering. Things that "broke" the game over the years were arguably things like the bazaar, mercenaries and the guild lobby/corpse summoners. Those changes have forced much less player interaction and made EQ live generally less challenging and entertaining in my opinion. What makes "classic" so great is favoring grouping, challenge and adventure. With #4 you still get that classic feel and game play but with all the perks! It's a win win.

For PVP, those are game-altering enhancements.

I've only been here around 2 Weeks, wish I had come to play sooner. I love this server , its hard to ask for more than it already provides. I hope it lasts a long time.

So far the people have been great, I've received some help and in turn have been able to help a few. Let's keep a good thing going.

4- removing HYBRID exp penalties, un-nerfing pet xp penalties, etc.

[Dumesh Uhl'Belk]

Since anything other than a completely hardline stance for #1 by the developers leads to legions of people all campaigning for that one special enhancement that would give them a hard-on... I say #1 all the way.
