Vendor with Illusion items.

Voted yes. Suprised there are so many no votes!! What a shame.

If I came to the server as a new player in 2016 and saw a bunch of "wrong illusions" on people it would probably make me think twice about the server as that's noticeably not Classic EQ.

The economy is only shitty if you're one of those people who live in EC. People who play the game really aren't affected all that much.

That said, this idea really doesn't bother me all that much. Another not classic idea, charge a buttload for armor dyes.

Voted no. Sounded like a cool story though.

Because hundreds of other people would be doing it as well. I personally would never spend anything on some crappy illusion that had no effect on gameplay, but many other people would and would be happy doing so.

I think you are overestimating how many players have how much platinum sitting around.

Good point.

Since level 5 rogues and clerics with epics don't already make new players do that...

Then go bump a bug thread about people below 45/46/50/whatever getting epics in bug forum.

Original EQ quests only allow for a faction check when completing a quest turnin. Which means all quests are doable at level one (unless the turnin or unMQable piece drops in a planar zone)

Luclin allowed for a level and class check
PoP allowed for a flag check

So every quest we will see on this server should be doable by every level, class and race given that combination can reach the minimum faction required.

Tldr - classic mechanic to get epics at level 1. Classic server environment limited epics to 46-50+

Plat for race change (still within the normal race+class rules) would be better. Nonclassic mechanic, but the classic experience is maintained. People would get to change if they want to, plat gets eated up by NPCs, and we don't have a bunch of iksar clerics and erudite warriors and dwarf monks running around the server.

I'm still not sure that it would affect the economy much though. The people who can afford to pay 6-7 figures for a race change probably had the pp just sitting around not contributing to inflation anyway, or they had their wealth in items that they liquidated in order get the pure plat for the race change. Maybe that'd have an effect down the road but it certainly wouldn't have a pervasive effect in the short term.


Plat for name changes (or maybe not cause people would QQ about it letting people escape reputation or something), deity changes, respending stats (someone else mentioned this). All those things would work towards this goal of destroying platinum while not changing the way people experience the game itself because the only thing you're letting people change is stuff they had control to do at one point in the past anyways.
