Everquest Classic 2.0!
I hope after Velious these great team of coders and database admins decide to create Everquest Classic 2.0. Maybe it would run side by side of a new progressive authenticate classic option starting back at the original with no expansions. It would be cool when they do to take ideas from the community as well as their own and have votes on each custom change/addition. Below is my Everquest 2.0 changes/additions.
Everquest 2.0 - Custom AAs to define each class further - Different method to engaging raid bosses to prevent monopolizing * A random relic for each raid boss will be on the loot tables of ALL mobs the same level or a higher level of the raid mob with a very low drop rate (determined by developers). Once found, it will have a timer before it poofs of 12 hrs so they can't be collected up, and with one use on a raid boss to remove his enraged state so they can't be reused. Without item, raid mob will be unbeatable due to enraged state. They will also be able to be sold within the 12hr period. This gives the non-raider a chance at some loot/coin if they would like to sell their item within the 12hr period to a raid guild. This means, raid guilds will have to play to have a chance at raid targets to obtain items to remove enraged states. The more you play, the more relics you get, the more raid mobs you get. Would be nice to get the drop rate down to a science of one for each raid boss being found every 1-2 weeks. - Custom events/raids * The same type of system as relics could be used for custom events/raids. Certain relics could be found that once turned into a NPC starts an event. One could be "The Gnome Uprising". Once the relic is turned in to a gnome NPC outside of Akanon, all gnomes inside Akanon become "red" and aggressive for a certain time period. During this time, faction is changed to where you would not get normal faction hits but maybe get a plus faction with gnomes, for assisting them against this uprising. Also during this time some important gnomes in the rebelion's loot tables change as well as their strength, all going back to normal after the event. - Class changes/game changes * HP/Mana regen greater out of combat * XP increased by great amounts when in a full group, given further incentive for full groups (Also when in a full group no class/race penalities in affect) * Increase dungeon XP even more to encourage more play in difficult places * Tweak each class to define them even further - Gnome Auctions * Allow players to place their items with a gnome auctioneer in Akanon for sell or maybe like the Bazaar allow the player to sell their wares on their character while away. Maybe allow this to happen in the EC zone. It is fun to think of things you would do. Gosh I wish I could code! | ||

Knowing how to code is one thing.
Having the dedication to hack together wtfever they got as a source code for this box and make it what it is now is something entirely different. | ||

AAs weren't inherently bad. It was not capping them so that players could get them all that really made it horrible. Some AAs fixed a lot of classes...crits for wizards, bows for rangers, fade allowed bards to pull again. Then there were the AAs that ruined it like manaburn.

EZ server is much different than what I have in mind. For one, it goes past Velious. It also allows boxing and uses teleportation. I think custom AAs that are capped would be cool!

I like these ideas..
What do you code these scripts/adjustments to the application in? Python? C? are the servers a lot more script and database work or is this like opening projects and pushing revisions as changes roll out?

However the easiest method of completing this, and the most necessary since you're dealing with a starting city and don't want this raid to obstruct people who may be playing their new characters and need access to Ak'Anon, is to create an instance. Now before you go crying and whining that an instance would kill EQ and it isn't Classic and blah blah (Need I remind you, this whole thread is un-Classic) instances are not just limited to one person or one group or one raid. There is such a thing as a public instance that has no limit on how many people can be inside at once. Akkadius and me used them on his server several times. It allows you to make a copy of a zone for a custom use such as this that can only be accessed with the proper quest (AKA after the handin has been made, for a limited amount of time) and won't interfere with new players starting in Ak'Anon.

Gnomes? Who would want to trust a gnome with their loot?

Definitely a situation where instancing is the practical and right thing to do. Messing with the starter zones is not a good way to help your population.
