I am not fully set on nostalgia only. If someone made a new legitimate "hard" mmo that wasn't stupid but just let you try to survive the environment that was in place, I would play it.
EQ is unique these days in that the world is just there whether or not your character is in it. Your character shows up (cuz you crawl down into that dungeon) and now you need to figure out what to do in order to survive.
Other games don't even let you get in this kinda situation with your dead body at the bottom of a hole and no ability to get down there, recover corpse and get back.
HOWEVER you could hire a level 1 rogue to sneak hide down there and get it for you, assuming he doesn't take the corpse further down and demand ransom or something.
On rallos zek I think someone with /consent was able to loot your corpse but I can only remember it a little bit. Not sure if that was the case on not pvp or not item loot servers.

Yea. Luclin was such a cut and scar in my life though that, modern graphics on mmo might always put me into a panic. Like a car crash survivor. I heard brad worked on Luclin so I hate to talk bad about it too much.
I've heard it repeated and I've repeated it, people lose focus on the world aspect. It would be as if chess became popular and then people tried to make it a better sport. The core of mmo's started out as a simulated world. Now its instance quest. Not saying instances never work. If someone logs in and something in the world makes what that person wanted to log on to do not possible, then that's what has to be dealt with or else the world is removed from the game.
Also there is no lotto or gamble like little kids pretending to play. Everything has to be corporate where they are are clinging glasses at the top trying to be the best at business. I hope one day MMOs can come back where people say, "Hey why not try this world? Oh it didn't work? Oh well there are plenty other good ones out there."
Having unique velious graphics taken away in Luclin was the first step of denial thinking, "No this is fine. There's nothing wrong with this. Maybe they just haven't installed them yet." But it felt like someone saying, "This is what you need in life." Why? Why do we need all armor to look the same?
Its going to be hilarious when it turns out that modern EQ is awesome and I just didn't like it because I didn't finish velious all the way. Doubt it.
