It can even be more trivial stuff but people do hate the mention of custom content.

1kpp for a 5 charge pot of werewolf/gnoll/orc/goblin form?

...not hard to think stuff up. People dig that kind of thing, but is it going too small in terms of plat draining? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Going small AND big would be a great solution, if one were to be considered. Some things, such as faction-changing potions (illusinos) would probably be too overpowered, so there would have to be some thought put into it. Too many "special" items and you start going to far away from the original vision of the server, especially if they allow you to do unclassic things.

But a potion that doesn't alter faction and dissappears on zone, much like the mass-illusions some guides like to cast in EC, probably wouldn't be that overpowered.

Honestly? If you put all the buyable "expendable" items that are available across various cities onto a merchant in EC tunnel, you'd see a decent plat sink.

I introduced the idea in another thread but how about race/gender changes? already 2nd and 3rd hand toons floating around why not get a new look with that toon :P. This could be the 250k+ kind of things that would be popular and suck up plat.

Another way of looking at it. Any change that is long term to a character , name/title, race/gender etc would be the uber expensive stuff and items with charges or limits would be priced at a power/rarity level that would not hurt the server.

With name changes and such you can start to force the reputation stuff on people and then they have to adopt new names etc and this eventually forces the plat out of the economy and discourages account selling/swapping accept for the super wealthy.

Just some thoughts on the issues, I love the server but am not raiding level but don't want to see a bad economy ruin the game.

Didnt read casual complain thread #454

But my opinion is we should drive all you casual baddies into the sea.

would rather have a server with two raid guilds racing mobs then to have to deal with these 2013 joined accounts complain that they can't afford fungis so no one should have fungis.

It's the new "Get rid of Variance!" meme. No matter what we say, nothing will change. But it keeps us occupied to complain about it.

Why in the hell is there so many hate threads lately?? If you don't like the way this server is or how it is run leave the damn thing. Start up your own, or just quit playing EQ. Christ, what a bunch of cry baby bastards. Goddamn, life is hard enough without having a bunch of piss and moaning turds. Get a freaking life. [You must be logged in to view images.

It's not a hate thread, it was to get a conversation going on the current state of the server. I guess instead of trying to improve things you just walk away from them. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Kunark has been out for over 2 years with no velious. What did you honestly expect to see end game besides a clusterfuck of level 60's all wanting a piece of the shortcake.
