Minus the zones, sure. Or my idea for PoP, at 60 you can do a quest to help the gods and get sent to PoT, but you can't ever return to norrath. You can visit old players in PoF, PoS, PoG, PoM, PoH, but you can't trade with them.

No XP penalties (race or class).
No hell levels and everything that comes with them.

I myself like the harshness of old school eq. Yall can have your "class balance" and mounts, and AA's. Too much of that in new Gen games. No thanks.

I'm all for subtle imbalance. It's hard to make everything on par with eachother given different play styles, that's why starcraft and starcraft 2 are so revered, completely different play styles in extremely intricuite games with relatively amazing balance between them. However, some classes decisions in EQ are straight up unfair.

Assassinate should be a discipline.

Which classes would you say are unfairly weak?

[Champion_Standing]

Open up some more class race combos, make ranger DPS on par with monks, reduce ticks to 3 seconds.

Trainable at lvl 1.

Remove complete heal and completely re-tune the game without it.

Completely revamp the resistance system and make a lot of bad guys hit with different damage types so that melees are concerned about their resists to mitigate damage while tanking. Give paladins large innate resistances (possibly SK's too) so that you actually have to make strategic decisions into what kind of tank you want for a particular encounter (high AC or high resists, etc.).
