So much wasted time and zero custom content

[Nocht]

Can we have Veksar? It was supposed to be released with kunark :P

[Woke Locc]

Just go play shards of dalaya you idiot

The content is good

[Neno]

Custom content is pretty hard to do. Anything for low to mid tier that produces any kind of value would just be constantly camped for months. Higher tier things like raids would have hundreds of fully geared players showing up for and lead to drama. This is one of the problems with having an open world like EQ. There are a ton of things that could be done by utilizing instancing but people start tugging at their neckbeards at the thought of not having to compete against 300 other nerds over a few pixels.

Something like LDoN would scratch a lot of itches people have. Variable difficulty, single group to small "raids", leader boards for bragging rights, ability to target purchase various items you want while still having RNG drops, can be done at lower levels and at cap. The LDoN dungeons were pretty uninspired but is sitting at a single camp for 6 hours really any less interactive than fighting your way through hallway-room-hallway-room? Perhaps even the old dungeons already in game could be utilized. Would anyone really hate the thought of trying to 3 group raid Lower Guk tuned for level 65+ while fighting for the top of a leader board?

I thought Ldons were a lot of fun. I like this idea.

Instances could be cool. Also allowing bazaar type set up in EC.

Instances and bazaar? What? Those are two of the worst things that ever happened to EQ. The whole point many people are here is because P99 DOESNT have instancing.

Plus there are already servers that offer those that you can play on if you need them.

I thought Ldon mini dungeons were a lot of fun. I like this idea.

[Wed May 23 00:19:38 2001] Zaping shouts, 'it was lame because everyone killed the characters!'
[Wed May 23 00:20:17 2001] Stalpus shouts, 'Idiots Killed the Machines and NPCs'

This is exactly what I would expect to happen here, I guess classic was more similar than I thought

Good guild names before overstimulation took hold.
