Adding the Planes of Power in to the original trilogy

[Dfn]

Safe zones kill PvP.

If you actually read this thread, there isn't a PoK zone or PoTranquility.

You guys are die hard classic and crucify anyone that suggest Luclin wasn't as complete shit as you say but are on board with adding access to a planar zone to nearly every city in the game?

That's almost as crazy as cats on the moon.

If you read the ideas most of the zonelines are not located in cities. The ones that are would require a ton of faction work for many in order for raid members to safely traverse them.

And lastly, this is mostly fan fiction at this point. If you have ideas to add however, that would be great.

6 of the planes in the OP are tied either directly to cities or zones directly off of them. Please don't misunderstand, I think this a great idea for a custom shard. For a shard recreating a live timeline I can't support this.

Now, I would much rather have this happen than the timeline to just flat out stop after Velious. Nothing would kill my interest in this server more than a dead end.

Granted, I am biased and won't try to hide the fact that I liked both classic era EQ AND Luclin onward to a certain point, but I am not going to get into the merits of that here as that the intention of your post.

I love the idea of the mirror at the top of the Tower of Frozen Shadow taking you to a Plane. There was rampant rumor of this during Velious and several broken quest lines in the Tower that helped fuel the fire. One of the best zones in the game, imho.

i cant imagine POP without luclin it just does not compute. at least with nexus and the lore of how they got there and evrything

Interested idea. Not sure why you wouldn't include POK POT in a non-pvp server.

guineapig I wanna be pals, can we do that?

[EvilMallet]

The true answer is to teleport anyone who is in PoK for more than 30 minutes into the middle of Cabillis naked and KoS

[guineapig]

The point of leaving out PoK would be to avoid a central zone that leads to everything else, making the world feel much smaller (which is did). Anyway, that seems to be the consensuses.

I loved PoP, but I really like the idea of keeping this server as completely classic as is possible and as was originally intended by the devs. I've said it in previous threads of this nature, but I like the idea of having a content locked time capsule of the original trilogy around.

I like the port ideas and stuff outlined in guinea's first post, but if I wanted to play PoP I think I would want to do it as it was intended by Sony rather than custom content. If I wanted custom content I would have played SoD, or some other random emulated server! Basically, I think what I would personally most like to see is the current server to remain unmolested and unmodified and stay as true to the original trilogy as possible, and perhaps another server opened somewhere far down the line where I can play with other expansions/content. I'm not sure I'll ever get bored of classic though, but raiding the planes again does sound appealing!!
