What game change would you suggest?

[jolanar]

I like the idea of changing deities, but only if it was still within the options that class has at character creation. IE A Shadowknight could switch from Innoruuk to Bertox, but not to Agnostic or Tunare.

Also like the idea of rotating hot zones to encourage more people to leave places like Mistmoore and City of Mist.

I would personally probably revamp the faction system so that competing factions were truly competing and remove sneak vendoring and line of sight banking which make no goddamn sense to make the faction choices you make actually matter.

I'd finish everything that's incomplete ...

* make the Rygor give faction to the dwarves in Crystal Caverns
* add the eighth shawl quest (it needs blacksmithing)
* fix zones like Lake of Ill Omen so that you can actually move into clear/visible areas (instead of being blocked by pointless invisible boundaries)
* add the 8th Iksar skullcap quest
* restore Miragul's highway
* add the last Qeynos badge quest
* add the Jagged Pine zone, all of the LoY zones (except revamped Grobb), and any other content that fits the classic era but was added after (maybe even the LDoN zones, but not instanced)

As cool as dev-written truly custom content would be, I really hope they consider doing at least some of the above as "custom" content.

lol just went through BW to DL and that zoneline is like the level designer had a stroke while he was making it.

Remove variance.

Please take this post with a grain of salt, as although they are things I'd like to see, it doesn't mean we will see them. Also, some of these, if not all of them, may not be considered classic. That said, a few changes I personally want:

1. Beastlords and Berserkers. Just a personal want of mine I've mentioned a few times. I understand they would require a lot of work to implement on this sever, if they ever become a thing on here.

2. Halfling Paladins/Rangers and Gnome Paladins/Shadow Knights able to be created. Would love to make my halfling ranger on here. This would also give rangers a class trainer close to Freeport, as I can't even remember the closest trainer other than a boat ride to get to Kelethin or a run to Surefall Glades.

3. A home button on the character selection screen. If you don't remember, at one point on live, if you logged off for awhile, roughly 30 minutes or one hour, a "home" button appeared for that character on the character selection screen. Clicking it would port that character to where they were bound to. It would help a lot in situations where you may have to log off ASAP, or if you went LD in a dungeon. Obviously, you'd have to wait awhile to be able to use it, to prevent abuse, but it was a feature I really liked.

4. Soul binders in some locations. I've found it hard to get a bind at times in some locations. For example, I want my Paladin to get bound at Qeynos, but noone has really passed through that could/is willing to do so, and getting my low level Shaman bound in the Overthere outpost took over a hour to find someone. I understand the removal of them is suppose to give a classic community feel, with regards to the bind affinity spell, but would still be nice to have some in some locations.

5. Shared bank slots. Would love to be able to use these as opposed to dropping items and praying noone comes along. Would also help getting spell money to other characters.


Thats about all the main things on my wishlist. Again, I realize they may not be considered classic.

The home button thing just wreaks of World of Warcraft to me, where they implemented mechanics that make life easier for the user at the expense of making the world less dangerous. Like every class having a 'gate' (hearthstone) despite being melee.

Same thing with soulbinders, part of the classic EQ experience is relying on others for certain things, binds for melee being one of them.

The shared bank by rights should have been implemented in Day 1, true its not classic but from a lore perspective all of the characters on your accounts are separate people in Norrath, they should be able to conduct trade with one another. It does undercut some small community aspects (like having trusted friends to transfer 100k+ items), but my guess it would eliminate a lot of scamming and hopefully reduce CSR load.

In order to keep the danger, the home button would have to activate much longer than a hour, with that character being offline during that time, to prevent abuse. It's not perfect in a classic sense, of course. Another thought I had was it could potentially help GM's in some situations and lighten their petition load, assuming the scenarios it could be helpful with pop up a lot. That being said, I can understand how it can muck with the classic feel, and don't expect it to ever be on this server. Same with soul binders.
