Default Vendor with Illusion items.

The biggest argument against this would be that it's not classic. How Classic is the server really right now? With it being stuck in Kunark for so long. Furthermore the server will eventually be in Velious for as long or longer so the point remains.

Players need a money sink. Something on the side to strive for. These items are merely "Fluff" and have no impact on actual game play (such as asking for a pre-nerf fungi to be made vendor available)

The Illusion items would be no drop. They could be any sort of Illusion ranging from Dark Elf, Troll, Froglok etc...

Make them at least 2 million plat each. This number can be tweaked of course. Just throwing one out there for the sake of an example.

This idea has probably already been thought of but heres a poll to see if the player base would support or be against such a thing.

I get what you're saying about it not affecting gameplay, and I agree with you there.

On the other hand, I think if I ran a classic EQ server, and was asked about it, I wouldn't want to describe it as follows:

"We intended the expansions to be released on their natural timelines and we've progressed as best we could, given the time and resources we could dedicate. It's as accurate to the classic experience up to [classic/kunark/velious] as we can make it, aside from aspects of the client we can't change and the elements that we are still gathering data on. Oh, and we added vendors that sell illusion masks because the economy got all shitty."

If you start adding changes like that, what else will come after? So a big no for me.

I don't see this as being an option. I understand that people at the higher tiers are hoarding money, but that isn't something that is an issue other than guilds socking spawns.

In addition, there are illusions that give benefits, such as illusion troll/iksar giving regen. It would also take some of the allure out of being a rogue/bard since these classes have unique items that have the clicky illusion effects.

2 million sounds high, and would only appeal to 1% of the server. You could have basic races start at around 300k, and have other illusions (elementals, werewolf, ect) cost 1 million +

This will inevitably force premium items in EC like Fungi for instance to rise so much that it would also be only attainable by a small minority of the server. If you wanna rid your plat so badly , stalk some new players and help them on their way perhaps

If you want these illusions I suggest you either make an enchanter, or try out one of the other EQEQMU servers. This will never happen here.
