What would you change about P1999?

I don't think anyone's seriously whining/complaining. The thread seems to be a hypothetical question. Worst case scenario is that nothing changes and we continue to have a free server to play EQ on. Best case is maybe the devs take away an idea or two from people.

Not everything is a criticism of P99.

The thread started as a hypothetical question, yes. But imo there is a difference betwen saying "I like the compass and I don't like the raid scene" and "I miss the compass, why did you spend the time to remove it while leaving the raid scene shitty for years?"

One of them is saying what you would change, one of them is complaining.

Oh thats MQ

[Coridan]

If I could change only one thing I would get rid of MQing, even if just to avoid all the people advertising it.

I would change the fking spawn time of raster because im about to blow my brains out camping him

[radditsu]

Honestly ... open source. I would love my own box w this code.


I know that wont happen. Too much work done here to fracture the player base.

Gonna take flak for this, but I would focus more on making the mechanics work as intended for the current content before rolling out with more content that will invariably come with more bugs to fix when the original bugs are still a problem:

The correct boats in OOT and proper mechanics for all boats instead of the band-aid levitate patch that has been around so long it doesn't seem to bother anyone until it's pointed out.

Mob pathing that doesn't go through walls.

Instill Doubt wouldn't be an instant click fear spell.

And I'm sure there's lots more that have been broken for so long that people just don't notice it or think twice about it. I wouldn't care if it took another 5 years for Velious to come out if it meant everything was fixed to work the way it is supposed to.

Also, rotations.

As a primary spell caster, spell sets.

And, shoot me, i'd love some AAs. Just any reason to log in on a level 60 to casually do things beyond a desire for profit would be stellar. Maybe raiding will be a thing now, but before I just had no desire to log into one of my characters when it hit 60.

Also, tradeskills. I'd love to have Luclin+PoP tradeskills enabled, or at least have the cap lifted and recipes enabled around the board, with the limiting factor being the avaialbility of the components - rockhopper leather wouldn't exist so you couldn't make the armor, etc.

The Deity idols were great and I wish they were craftable here.
