EverQuest is ez mode

[Elfminster]

Here are some ideas to make the game more challenging,

• Remove multi-questing.
• Remove trading.
• Remove floor transfers.
• Remove racial perks.
• Remove lowbie buffing/ports.
• Remove pre-nerf loot.
• Remove Bard swarming.
• Remove fungi tunic.
• Remove level 1 weapon procs.
• Remove epic weapons.
• Remove Torpor spell.
• Remove SoW.
• Remove Clarity.
• Remove Lich.
• Remove Cannibalize.
• Remove instant invis items.
• Make charm more unreliable.
• Increase mana cost of spells.
• Increase mob damage.
• Increase mob health.
• Make mobs smart instead of dumb.
• Increase faction requirements.
• Hardcore mode only.
  

I'm not sure how you can fix EQ being an evironment in which you waste your life working for nothing of value.
