Look at the solo artist challenge for example.

People soloing things that required 1-2 groups before. Mobs that people say you need 2-4 group raids are being duo'd and 1 grouped.

You want to prevent old world becoming too easy... You're too late hehe. Between OP clickies like Donal's or SoulFire and people have BiS gear and the knowledge; the old world, even including Kunark, is far too easy.
This reminds me, part of the world becoming easy is classic, to me. One of my fondest memories of pre-kunark EQ was discovering Lower Guk. Walking into that zone and seeing 12 people at the zone line chit chating and messing around with eachother, walking further in and seeing 12 people killing frogs from the zone to the bedroom, to the bedroom and seeing groups in the bats room and the spiders room, people dueling in front of the fort... all these people... and no mobs.

Lower guk was like a secret 40+ city that noobie trolls had no idea existed below their feet. Frogs would spawn and die faster than they could agro. You could walk around as a level 1 in there if you wanted, with very little fear of death.

People were /ooc & /auc'ing goods and services and it really felt like any newbie hunting ground or like Gfay.

So what I'm getting at is the player base totally dominating the environment is a part of what I love about classic EQ. So there's that, idk.. part of what is cool to me about EQ. Meh idk. Just talkn' EQ w/ yall.
