Custom Content or Custom Class?

Rangers should also get Othmir pets.

Keep the custom content with classic EQ in mind, imo. I dont think we should see any ogre wizards or gnome monks, but maybe enable halfling rangers and gnome SK's (as they did on live during luclin).

Custom content should focus on zones and encounters that have that classic feel, without making the game feel like EZ server.

Lessons to learn from EQ2, I agree [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Planes of Power is all we need, no custom required. Best expansion by the population, by the polls, by the ratings, by the content.

planes of time was the perfect capstone raid to EQ and progression there was mostly pretty cool. The instancing was well done and the sheer volume of PoP raids kept the top tier guilds away from the old content, allowing for lots of drama free nostalgic soloing and plenty of room to breathe for small guilds with niche interests.

The only thing I actually hated was the bloated, boring alternate advancement grind. I think I ended with 400 or so aa points which gave me assburgers and polio. I can't imagine what kind of mental damage you get when you pass 1000AA.

But as far as custom content goes...I don't like it. It would be next to impossible to make it fit with the "canon" and it would always seem awkward.

... But a portal stone to Temple of Ssraeshza with a difficulty calibrated to server max level would be pretty legit...same for Vex Thall if you could start your raid at Thall Va Kelun

Kerra playable. Not Vah Shir, actual Polynesian themed Kerra ala Kerra Isle.

Also forget Troll Bard. Go Ogre Bard, no more interrupted songs!

oh man, I'd roll an EQ1 kerran in a heartbeat... keep the meowing sound on them (as with spirit wolf illusion howl etc) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shouldn't be hard to make it fit with canon. The EQ d20 books do a great job giving the canon lore on areas that weren't made into zones.

Troll bard! They can play fifes

Some of those would be major projects, like Erudite Monk which would require all new animations. New races, like Kerra as much as I want it, require armor skins.
