You missed 50% of the server title bro. Lots of people are here solely because its a fresh server and the gear, zones, control, are all open for the best in show. VZTZ was horrible, and full of hackers because it was boring. Yet you're asking for a rule set that is exactly like it.

I am definitely not asking for the hack fest that was vztz

and you are certainly right, lots of people are here solely because of the fresh server and all the rest. my prediction is that playing 12 year old eq with its mind numbing downtime and its massive time sink will keep away or drive away another completely different group of players.

most of the replies in this thread are nice opinions but thats all they are.

if people truly wanted CLASSIC eq then why doesnt your pet attack you if you accidentally hit it with a spell? why the strict line of sight on spells? why do rogues have sneak and hide that work together? for that matter why does rogue hide work against undead? these are all things that were not part of the game when it went live but someone had the foresight to remove at least some of the shit that made the game less fun to play. its not like this server is somehow pure to the spirit of eq at release, or even several months post release. does the /petattack Name command still target players no matter where they are in zone? can I zone into Najena and guild invite her to see if shes up? are woolly mammoths still zone wide agro when you pet them?

you are already playing on a pretty modified server. all I am asking is that should the pop take a nose dive you consider doing away with a few of the remaining bits of tedious crap.


hell from the op you could skip quite a bit of the changes if you only boosted out of combat mana/hp regen. that one single change would bring about faster exp, shorter down times, increase time spent in pvp and make exp deaths less meaningful. maybe I should edit the op cause that change alone would make me a pretty damn happy camper, I cannot believe there are this many defenders for a game where soloing is limited to a few classes and those that can still end up with massive amounts of time starting into space.

bugs and exploits aren't being put in.

no thanks, servers generally dont start their decline until everyone is capped and bored, part of the fun of eq pvp is battling it out with others while you slog your way to the top a server where everyone is 50 in 2 weeks would decrease pvp and pigeonhole it into zerg a vs zerg b, exp deaths should be meaningful and pvp exp deaths are miniscule as is.

i dont stare into space when levelling, i kill something then tab out and continue playing whatever flash game i was messing with while i med.
