Balance

How about some custom content to try and balance the classes?

How would you go on about doing it?

I don't think balancing classes would be a good thing for eq. It literally would rip the spirit out of the game. Part of the intended model of eq is that you've gotta rely on other classes for things your character/class just can't do. Imbalance of classes is, in a sense, where the core game play stems from.

Oh god no, I love how each class has its own specialty

The original developers went a long way towards balancing the classes in Luclin with the alternate advancement system.

Classes like rangers became relevant.

This. Classes became more viable during luclin and pop. Thanks to AA's, levels, and spells.

Give everyone sow, ports, feign death, nukes, mez, and complete heal.

I don't think there'd be too many upset people if AA's happened to turn up eventually [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Perhaps not, but only a very special custom subset

I'd be ok if luclin AAs and spells were added with none of the other luclin content.

AAs alone would give people a reason to play their level 60s and not just have them parked at raid spawns.

Don't get my hopes up man!
If p99 ever announced aa's I would roll a ranger that minute.
I recall reading something a few years back about how p99 ripped the aa code out or something like that. So even if they decided they wanted them it would be far too much work to get them fixed and in game. I could be wrong but I swear I read that back in the day.
