If you had to choose: The ONE thing you would change about EQ

[scecie]

I would do something to help the poor monk and his weight limit. I'm all about keeping gear weight down and having to be picky with armor/weapons. But we can't make any money abroad leveling because we can't hold any loot or coin. Perhaps a Tinkerers bag at birth, or a 0% weight coin purse.

Orrrr...I'd do something with fist damage. Part of the mystique when I made my first monk in classic EQ was the idea that the monk fist could be stronger than any weapon. Being able to rely on fists throughout the game without needing a better weapon would cure a lot of the need for $$ as well.

WoW style HP and Mana Regen. (In combat vs. Out of combat)
Instanced dungeons.
Remove Anon/RP
Fewer shared spells (ie: Paladins, Clerics, Druids, Rangers, and Shaman share the same pool of heal spells.)

You know, the kinds of things that you don't get right the first time around. The concept was pretty much D&D meets LotR, but the implementation lacked the type of balancing you only get from years of empirical study.

That being said, I want to note that "Classic" EQ should be exactly what it is now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] A game I play to reminisce about the "Good Ol' Days" when I walked to school in 2 feet of snow up hill both ways!

Varied and expressive breast animations for all female models of the various humanoid races and monsters.

Would be great for the social aspects of the game. They tried it with the Ykesha expansion and I think it was tremendously successful. I really wish they had went further with the idea.

If it had good physics could have small breasts, big breasts, heavy breasts, firm breasts, perky, etc. Could use a physics engine like Havok or PhysX. And a cpu core to help it along. That's what multi-cores are for.

Beef up warrior agro prior to Kunark release. I mean I understand "classic" but the ineffectiveness of warrior taunt is just plain dumb.

Remove the ability for clerics to exp res themselves < let them pay ridiculous prices for some greedy pos to click one button too>This way they can still make money but they still get the kick in the nuts from a fellow player like the rest of us.

ITT: Proposing ideas which SoE has implemented in live EQ over the years, while still complaining about anything post-Velious.

[Sarkhan]

The one main thing I would truly love to see in EQ is Rogues as a playable class for Iksars... With so many iksar bandits and such spread across Kunark, and them having their own faction "The Forsaken" which ties in to the iksar way of life / culture i think they really should have made Rogues a class iksars could choose... Iksars are already hated everywhere, have rogue iksars a step further and hated even inside cabilis. They could have a rogue GM in the caves close to shore in FoB and a few quests for them but not much else.

1. breeze implemented pre kunark

2. allow warriors to AE taunt prior to AA's

3. allow mages to invis and keep their pet

4. increase HP regeneration when sitting and non aggrod

5. remove the spell book view when meditating prior to expansions

6. implement a loot distribution window that allows you to NEED GREED PASS. NEED > GREED > PASS ie Vanguard

7. implement /wherecorpse which will work like when a fellow PC "yells for help" providing the direction to that person.

8. (preface - I play a mage) absolutely do not allow chain casting pets, i just find this absurd. I don't think the solution is in increasing reagent prices, but I think pet spells should literally cost if not ALL of your mana, at least 80% of it.

9. implement a /kickwizard command for groups who realize their lazy ass wizard has been casting 1 nuke per minute and is full mana.

edit: apologies as the thread asks for ONE thing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Huh? You don't need your spellbook open to meditate.

Are you saying give everyone locate/sense corpse? I like that not everyone gets that, and I'm not even a bard/necro/sk.
