I don't think they can do that because of Daybreak or Dark paw. They would be competing financially with the parent company even if its an emulated server that doesn't directly interact with the main live servers. It's still money taken that isn't going to the parent.

So..before you all tell about the nerfs you could guise under the term custom content, that's not what i mean.

It occurred to me today that there have been hundreds of hours (maybe more) spent on creating policy and layering raids. I feel like this work gets wiped away by changes in the social dynamic or changes to nerf the play base.

Instead of wasting time with a temporary solution why not just create some more raid content? Some really easy content to install would be single mobs in already iconic zones.

Why do i say it would be easy? Because there is a metric booty load of data to show how a mob should be tuned so it creates a certain level of difficulty for current p99 raiding capabilities. Same goes with mob drops, and besides, everyone is so crazy over geared for the content we could literally skip to pop and get into ele planes without looting a single item after gridning AAs.

So here are some amazing ideas for where to place new raid bosses:

1. City leaders or iconic city figures.
2. Bring back Mayong Mistmoore and make him hit like AoW and proc like VS
3. Add the guardians in Skyshrine
4. Why are there not more spooky undead dragons to raid in DN?
5. Odus needs a raid mob...period.
6. A kraken in any of the ocean zones
7. The maze in Kerra Isle needs a raid mob
8. Temple of Sol Ro needs an Avatar of Sol Ro
9. Make a raid version of King Xorbb
10. Make Bristlebane an actual fun raid to do
11. Lake Rathe needs a Lochnees monster to raid
12. Halas Arena - Fight a berserker that is a badass, maybe even a ring style event.
13. Deep in Akanon something went wrong..fight a crazy steam powered beasty

And if the EQ lore leaves you creatively dry... here's over 100 pages of inspiration from the EQ creators muse

Some great ideas, there is a great myth abut a creature in lake rathe!

Ive always wanted city leader raids, imagine if there were two quest lines that when completed would change the city from a working city to a KOS dungeon until a raid boss is killed and the city is returned and the cycle is repeated or something [You must be logged in to view images.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

p99 blue could use more scheduled raids like Sky/Hate farms/HoT etc

These are the bread and butter of non top-tier guilds, and benefit everyone. There are no downsides.

Sky's multi level system is good, but the temp keying is stupid.

A new sky-like multi-level raid like Sky but with permanent keys would be amazing custom constant. It could be challenging content with sky-like quests that fills in the gaps in some of the gear in velious. For example, for warriors: a decent aggro weapon (all the velious aggro weaps are bad), a decent neck (the flurry neck for warriors is complete trash), a 41% haste item (the sky 41% warrior haste is ridiculously rare, and has trash stats). I'm not as familiar with other classes for gaps in gear, but that's the idea.

Maybe someday.

I always felt like PoP zones would be great for custom content. Grummus, MB, Terris are already basically tuned to Ntov in both loot and difficulty.

Zones could be added any number of ways. I'm not feeling that creative.

Maybe burrower parasite event could be added to WW. Kind of fits with the ice burrower theme and is considered on AoW lefel

I mean it literally wouldn’t change a thing lol. It would just make it easier for the tunnel rats to be tunnel rats since they don’t have to actively auction and instead can just list their item that they control the market on and go afk
