I wonder how many people would be in favor of the following simple, relatively easy to implement changes for any new server, regardless of ruleset:
I think these are all fairly conservative and would enjoy broad popular support. And I think most people would agree they would have a positive impact on the health of the server. Binding accounts could maybe work if it used a combination of IP and MAC addresses. But I'm not sure how necessary or even beneficial that would be on anything except the Teams PvP server (where it would be an absolute godsend). | ||

this is Amazing. Very well thought out, descriptive, and accomplishes the goal of what EQ was at launch.
I love it~! | ||

all of these people complaining and criticizing are missing the point completely.
The idea is to make EQ the hardest it can be, requiring more engagement on the server between people to accomplish everything. What is so difficult to understand? Why does every tom, dick, and harry have to be negative and miss the spirit of the thread? Rhetorical question, take a lap Farley. | ||

I think the issue is that most of the players on P1999 (especially most who are active in the high end game) have been playing Everquest on P1999 longer than they actually played EQ live. And certainly almost all of us have played more P1999 than we did actual Classic EQ (up through Velious expansion), since that was something like a 2-3 year window at most before the game moved to Luclin and beyond. What I'm getting at is that most people have forgotten what original EQ actually felt like, and have entirely adapted themselves to the current P1999 version of EQ, which is, while classic in large part mechanically and content-wise, a far cry from the gameplay "feel" of the original EQ during the classic era. Most people have forgotten how HARD simple things were in actual classic EQ. The game becomes trivial and meaningless when the content itself poses no challenge due to a combination of massive widespread twinking, advanced knowledge of game mechanics and content and a much improved and more capable client that allows the player to do things that were impossible in the Velious-era classic client. Literally the only difficulty on P1999 at this point comes, in one way or another, from trying to kill mobs before other players do. That's it, almost entirely. Everything else in the game is extremely easy to accomplish. You can't throw a rock without hitting an Epic Cleric to get a rez from or a Druid to port you. You can pay 50pp for weapons far beyond planar-level in original classic. It's just so different than what actual classic was like. There's a certain hollowness to it, and I'm many people feel the same way. But it's hard to forcefully reject the style of gameplay you've grown accustomed to and which has (for many people) resulted in a massive horde of pixels across multiple accounts worth of characters. | |||
