Custom Blue Content Everyone can get behind

Agree with this, but probably 0% chance.

Actually, while the staff has said very little about what custom content might actually mean, one of the very few things they have thrown out (as a possibility) was adding some AA abilities. However, it would only be a select few of them (not most), and they wouldn't be implemented as a reward for experience (ie. Luclin-style). Instead, you would get your AA by doing some sort of "epic quest" for it.

I thought there was a newer quote about this from either Rogean or Nilbog, but I couldn't find it, so here's an old one from 2013 from Nilbog:

But to be fair, only a couple years before that we had Rogean saying he didn't think P99 would ever get any AAs (in any form, although he did acknowledge the idea of other custom content) ... so hopefully someone else can find their more recent quote on the topic.

And whatever R/N have said, they've never really committed to anything ... and whatever custom content is coming is likely years away ... but the point is, some AA's do at least seem to be on the table (>0% chance).

They spent a ton of time and effort stripping aa's and everything related to them from the code of the server. I highly doubt they'll ever add them back in.

Just please open up more race/class combos that may or may not have ever existed. It will get a lot of people leveling up again. Some suggestions:

Barbarian Paladin.
Gnome sk/Paladin
Halfling Ranger/Paladin
Human shaman
Iksar magician
Erudite warrior
Erudite monk

If we are going to have AA's, they should be class-specific that would benefit that class the most, ideally. Some examples.

Warrior: Bind Wound 100% and Instant Kill enemies under 10% health
Monk: Critical Hits, Packrat
Bard: Harmonious Strikes (Double Attack) and Brusco's Boastful Bellow (18 second damage skill, like Bash with a longer cooldown)
Paladin: Triple Attack with two-handers, Slay Undead, Improved Lay on Hands (Complete Heal and cooldown timer reduced to 36 minutes)

Things like that.

Just rotate the ZEMs.

What about Barbarian Ranger? Not only would it make for an excellent stat spread for a Ranger, but they'd also get Slam to interrupt casters, and it fits from a lore perspective, considering that Barbarians are big nature boys.

Most exp zones are a ghost town and need players. Main toons are all stuck at 60 at this point and have no reason to rewind back to other underpopulated zones. The only option is to create an alt army.. Which in itself is not much incentive other than to "park" more toons at raid zones.

Why not just create an NPC that allows you to reset a lvl 60 character to lvl 1; but they are granted a reward. It could be an ability point, an item,a spell, +25 max hp(limited amount), or title...whatever.. That way you get to go thru all the content again except you are twinked and have a goal to reset back down to lvl 1 for more rewards...? Technically a grind but not in "1 zone".

This would reduce amount of raiding toons living in ToV/Kael etc.. and let those who are BiS or just plain bored of 60 to branch out and help(the whole point) newer players to socialize and exp in zones that are always empty.
