Yeah, but then what do you do?? Live in Seb or HS?

This. No more grinding, please. Though if they limited it to the first tier of AA (run speed, attributes, etc) then I suppose it wouldn't be too horrendous. It would also prevent the need to tune content to match. However, best to just leave them out entirely.

AA's would totally gimp velious content. Vel was a very well tuned expansion, where all content was relevant to the levels it was aimed at. Even AoW would be made trivial with aa. Unless custom content is added (perhaps pop zones with new material to create extra ultra tough planar raids and single group content) aas would simply ruin the balance.

I think they could release maybe the initial AAs (run speed, etc); and possibly later on add certain AAs, (or add all of them). The way I see it is: Velious content was already tough (I don't think anyone killed AoW till Luclin IIRC)... and it will extend long term playability for those at level 60 by a great deal.

Don't ruin the best expansion to ever happen to EQ, just be happy your getting another legitimate chance to relive the old years. If you desire AA's there are plenty of other servers on eqemu that offer them.

Adding additional content after Velious or customizing EQ classic will result in what all other EQEmu servers are ... dead and barren. People play here because it strives to be authentic and classic. People have been begging for a classic trilogy server for years. It would be ashame to ruin it because people want to advance their characters further.

New people will continue to play and long time players will rerole or quit. Look at EQMac, been going for years yet it is one of the more popular EQ live servers AND it doesn't change.

If they do decide to customize, I would hope it is in their own way and very suttle in line with the classic feel of the game. Tweak classes a little etc. Warriors could stand to have hate produced with bash/slam or something. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would prefer for them to add a new server when they start customizing this one starting back at EQ original and follow thet timeline again. This time, most all bugs and nonclassic errors will be not there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No aa's. This is supposed to be a "classic" server. This is why I play on red, bluebies get bored too easily and then want to start changing things.

Is not the current red server customized for pvp? I too would play on a pvp server if it wasn't altered and replicated one of the other rule sets from live such as racial teams or level ranges that can attack each other.

... But damn do I miss chat channels.

And the guild window... And the raid window...

Classic EQ is a great game, but the UI is just painful at times.

Please add power steering to my vintage hotrod. kthx. (this is not sarcasm)

Surprising - looks like a clear majority favor implementing AAs... some want it before late-Velious too!

Glad we have healthy discussion on this topic, 7 pages without flames = amazing.

Edit: a clear minority also do in fact, love lamp.
