EQ as it should have been?

[Malrubius]

If I wanted #4 (which I don't), why would I play on a server like this one that won't have those things?

Every other server has that stuff, so it's not like there is a lack of choices.

Besides, don't (some?) XP penalties go away in Velious anyway? I honestly don't know, but it may help some people who are strongly against them.

Racial penalties stay, class penalties go.

I too, love this server, as it's given me a chance to experience things I didn't get to on live. I still wish I had discovered P99 earlier, since I've never been even close to end-game pre-Kunark. For example I never really EXPed in Mistmoore on live, but on here I've spent a lot of time there and it turns out it is one of my absolute favorite zones in the game.

Anyway, I do sort of miss things like LFG channel and worldwide Trade/Auction channel. I recall my Live server having a channel specifically for Ragefire rotation which ended up also being a pretty decent social environment (could easily be replicated through IRC). I don't recall when item links were added but I think it would be kind of bleh to take them away this far in.

Personally even though it would take some work, I'd love to see things like the additional races and classes as well as AA added into a classic environment.

Beastlord class was pretty cool, shame it had to come with Vah Shir.

I'm in the #4 camp.

4. As it should have been - Add/Remove things based on the best overall play experience even if these things affect game play (Though not in a MAJOR way), such as everything mentioned in 3 in addition to: removing xp penalties, adding chat channels, un-nerfing pet xp penalties, etc..

Everyone has a different opinion on what gives the best overall play experience. Everyone who plays here agrees that classic EQ even with it's flaws is still better than most any other MMO that they have played.

Well first of all I'm very, very happy to play on this server and grateful to the devs for re-creating the (semi) classic experience, and I also am BLOWN AWAY by the community here. By and large it's considerably BETTER than than the community was back on Bristlebane in 2001-2004 when I played heavily on live.

That being said, I'm definitely in the #4 camp. Why recreate things that everyone knows were mistakes? Why not add in some of the great improvements that came along after the classic years? I think there's a bit too much myopic focus on making it "classic" when really it should be about creating an enjoyable playing experience first and foremost (Some people will argue that making it just like classic EQ IS the way to make it most enjoyable, but I respectfully disagree).

Peace!

I can agree with the sentiment... but It probably helps them to follow the time line of patches and what not to get to proper Velious style EQ.



Pretty sure once it hits final velious stage all the known bugs and everything else will be moot.
