AAs - Balanced out Druids, Rangers, Wizards, Mages, Necro's and Knights in raids

Ranger as main pulls (harmony arrow!!! Does that happen then?) and top dps. so tasty.

[Daldaen]

Harmonious Arrow was SoD or UF. Wayyyy later on. Atleast that's when I recall it being exploited the most then nerfed. It was the live version of sneak pulling. Trivialized one of the best aspects of EQ.

Skip Luclin and go straight to PoP, imo

getting pretty tired of the amount of whiny threads lately about how project1999 be this and that thing that some asshat personally desires

My one question would then be, how is custom content considered classic then? I understand in the stream they said, "It would have to stay in the realm of classic EQ" but that statement is completely subjective. I enjoy the current servers as they are and am fine with velious but as the devil's advocate, I'm not sure how you can say custom content is more classic EQ than SoL.

My ideal custom server would have no Kunark, no Velious. Classic Zones only with the 3 original Planes. Include Paineel, The Hole.

Level cap stays at 50.

The custom content would be:

-More class specific quests. All of the quest rewards scaled to the difficulty of the quest.
-Further distinction between class roles in group/raid scenarios so that everyone has something unique to offer
-Nerf all things that allow one class to perform duties of another class that they wouldn't otherwise be able to on their own (i.e. Soulfire)
-Make that door in The Hole go someplace.
-Leviathan and Mayong Mistmoore as regular raid targets.
-Add a raid boss to every zone and city.
-Eliminate Zone Experience Modifiers
-Stock all zones and dungeons with more unique loot.
-Tweak all tradeskills to make them more relevant to the game (whether required for quests or to just make the items made more worthwhile)

Basically I'd just completely overhaul the classic content, but maintain the classic game mechanics.

[khanable]

release luclin.

subtract:

-new graphics
-bazaar
-cats and their shitty city and basically anything having to do with them
-mounts and stupid novelty pets (if they were introduced here..)
-other awful things that made it awful

add:

-spaceship in steamfont to get to the nexus station (kinda like raft from nro to velious)

I'd play it.

I don't see the harm in throwing around ideas, thoughts and wishes. Usually a good thing imo although p99 is already whatever the devs want, whether you call them asshats or not is up to you but it's their personal desires that goes into the servers not ours.

except you're not a paying customer

it's a free, private emulator run by volunteers. the whole point from the very beginning is based around excluding luclin, that's why there's the year 1999 in the title project1999.

"well i think the server should be have luclin and be run MY way..."

is being entitled and dickish. it's kinda like showing up to a free soup kitchen and yelling at the volunteers for not serving whatever food you're in the mood for that day

[fadetree]

I would like to see luclin and PoP. It was at PoP that EQ reached it's perfection, only flawed by a few incredibly stupid things. PoP with no stones

P99Devs stated that it would be classic in a way that it would not make current content trivial. If SoL comes out, it makes the 1st 3 expansions almost worthless and like others have said, takes away from the community of the game, AKA the MMO experience. Their custom content ideas related to a quest/npcs added and possibly/hopefully some zone additions just to add on to what is already in-game.

Also, the Luclin models suck, and I'm pretty sure the devs think so too and can't bare to look at them as I cannot either. Probably the main reason.
