Description
NOTE: This was on the Test server so it may not be live for the other servers yet. It happened a couple days ago (5/13/00 after midnight CT I believe)

VERY large snake that poked his head out of the ocean at the beach near Pillar 2 in Oasis. It conned indifferent and even to a lvl 35 player who was present. After several minutes of just sitting there it slithered onto land and headed for the lake surrounding the Spectre Island. Somebody pulled it back onto land near P1 before killing it. During the fight the only spell it cast was Deadly Poison.

I've mentioned it before but also a casino bot giving out a chance at a legacy item (character bound perhaps) at some very long odds for 500pp/1kpp a ticket would help the mudflation.

I have ideas for a custom server that reitemizes and repopulates classic EQ for a kind of fresh experience (with new quests and all) but I can't imagine trying to recreate all of Nilbog and Rogeans work to bring EQEmu down from Titanium nonsense back to classic.

That snake and clockwork dragon are badass! Nice snag on the rare screenshots

Another thing is to finish the Terrorantula quest - clearly, it was tied to that bug quest guy in Misty. Some of the boss mobs that do/drop absolutely nothing could use some items/quests added to them.

Tome of Ages set of quests could be finished too

Even beyond timeline items, there are a ton of special event items that have never made their way onto P99 which could serve as a natural bank of ready-made items for this purpose. Most of them fit within their respective era's itemization and generally aren't overpowered; the exceptions could be omitted or made exceptionally more rare.

Danth

Handmade zones designed to look and feel as classic as possible. Call me.

New quests.

Finishing old quests and finishing old quest lines. (Iksar weapons/helms)

Finish some of the clearly unfinished zones. (Swamp of No Hope)

Rebalancing of bad items.

Rabalancing of rewards for some quests.

Rebalancing zones to incentivize leaving the normal path.

New classes on other races.

There are so many storythreads that are open that could lead into some really cool content out there.

Challenge flags for characters. Self Found, hard core. Stuff like that.

Hardcore would be fun - quadruple the exp, increase chance of item drops, but make them all no drop. On death, if you reach a certain lvl, your corpse gets a little memorial tombstone above it and allows you to leave a witty comment until the corpse decays.

Edit: What would self found entail? No trades to others?

Adding Frogloks playable could be fun too, instead of putting them in Innothule though put them on Kunark.
