Alternate Ruleset Server idea

Well it wasn't meant to cause such an emotional response from people, but it did. So I guess by the very definition, it appears like a troll post. But it wasn't meant to be. I was a little fearful that I would get the kind of response I did because it does seem like most people like twinking, powerleveling, kiting, etc. But I also thought, there would be at least some people who do not like those things that might respond. I was sincere and I am still hopeful for an alternate ruleset server to be made more in line with what I like. Probably won't happen and that's ok, will wait to see what Everquest Next offers.

I understand where you're coming from - whether you wanted a serious discussion or not. We all know those things go on in any MMO. Those things will always happen and that will not change here. You either have to accept this or move on.

We all do what we want within the boundaries of the game. Some roleplayed, some raided hardcore, and some wanted it more challenging than designed. Hell, some people just signed on to chat! Nobody likes griefers but they're here, too! The creators wanted it to be OUR world as much as theirs. That's what made it so successful. They never did tailor it to any concept but theirs and they won't do that here, either. It wouldn't be the same game.

So with that in mind, who's to stop you from making some of those adjustments yourself to add some challenge? I used to raid without pants and nobody ever stopped me!

P.S. Ya know, perfect time to bring this up...this server needs to bring back pantsing! One of our GM's on live used to go to zones just to pants unsuspecting players. Oh man, so much hilarity. Big raid target and an AFK player? Pantsed and screenshotted for all.

This post is hilarious. How the OP actually thinks he is going to get taken seriously on this forum with these ideas is totally beyond my comprehension.

You assume a lot about a troll...

i really like your ideas for a new server, but i want to make a suggestion.

why don't you remove all npc's from the game as well? this way nobody can fight over spawns. we can all just run around and /hug one another in a wide open space. come to think of it, you should just disable all zones except for ecommons so we can /hug without too much trouble.

e: not sure why everyone is shitting on this idea. why go small with just an everquest private server? contact some of the big player companies and get them to fund your brilliant ideas and make a real game. it blows my mind that not a single respectable company has not thought of your ideas first. this could be huge.

I remember Harbingers of Thule was a topic of discussion when they first wanted to do an Iksar only RP guild on here. I think the Guild Leader was labeled a troll and given a hard time but stuck to his guns and went with it. Aren't they still around now? More power to 'em if they are.

I'll give the lad the benefit of the doubt and see where this goes...

Only read the first page but lol... All them elements id what make this everquest. If you took out all them spells, then why have more then two classes? If you notice almost every class has a feature that no other class has. Its why people hated expansions past velious. It took away the uniqueness of the classes. Books, mercs and so on... If you had a caster who casted spells and tank, who tanked. It would be boring. Classic to velious did it so perfect from classes to items to camping items. Every mmo I played since eq, I compare to eq. Then I quit a month later.

Run speed, snare, fear, root, charm, teleportation spells and pets removed.

So you basically don't want anyone to ever play a Druid, Ranger, Mage, Necro, and arguably an Enchanter? And if no one bothers to play an Enchanter you can be sure that no one will roll a Wizard. Also Hate and Sky raids won't exist anymore.

Nice troll post.
