What class will you roll first on a fresh server?

[PatChapp]

Yeah to say a class is bad because classic is busy is pretty lazy.
Classic is busy everywhere,you will sit for hours trying to get an XP group in guk to.

i agree that it would be nice if a new server had loot/quest npcs all mixed up so that we don't know what drops where anymore

altho loramin's brain might burn to dust if he has to make another wiki for a p99 server

Nah, we'd just add a new field or two (eg. "Teal loot") to the existing pages, and then we'd all have to work to fill the new field(s) in ... or not, in which case we'd have a server with mystery again.

However, given that custom content is by no means guaranteed at this point, and what little they've said about custom content involved new zones and AAs (not re-itemizing the whole server) ... I think we can probably file this one in the "pipe dream" category.

Randomizing loot is a great idea. Can't wait for all orc centurions to be permacamped because they drop manastones.

Everyone just tryna be special like me. *flexes manastone collection*

Straw man - Mischief server didn’t work that way.

Manastones are easily duped anyway.

Mischief's random loot would have been awesome if they hadn't simultaneously destroyed the server economy from the start by making it so mobs and raid bosses dropped like 3-4 times as much loot as normal. Random loot was super interesting. Getting 5 drops from ancient croc, or 15+ from hate minis, was a novelty that wore off after the second time it happened and you realized it meant that nothing had any sort of value or scarcity. I remember seeing three pegasus cloaks drop inside an hour at Unrest FP. Two FBSS drops in a row from some SolA named. The server was a joke and I don't know why it was so popular. I guess there's just that many people who simply prefer the path of least resistance and are entertained by having everything handed to them with minimal effort. My bard had full planar armor by level 40 just from selling random loot found in SolA and UGuk and buying planar pieces in EC. What's the point of playing, then? Once I got into raiding, there was this all-encompassing apathy as nobody was ever excited about loot they got because they knew the whole guild would be full BIS halfway through the expansion. It remains a mystery to me why so many people loved that server. It was like an ezmode emulator or something, not a real Everquest experience.

druid is the only correct answer for a new server, don't be tardos

[greatdane]

I would appreciate if you don't call people tardos. It's traumatizing.

[Mockba1980]

If I have to do a toon on new server, will take the same pick I made 2 decades ago : ROGUE !
The other reason is with fresh server you will find group at anytime of the day/night so Rogue OP

I’m a little surprised to see shaman at #1, but otherwise this looks about right.

[Elrood]

Probably either Paladin or Wizard.
