And that's stuff you can't actually fix, only way to make a emu actually classic is to find 1200 people that have never played before
Nah, what's needed is dynamic content. Constantly change where items drop and how NPC's spawn. It doesn't require constant work either, just need to have an algorithm that automatically shifts everything around. Now the game is a permanent adventure, an Everquest, where nobody knows exactly what will happen and it becomes necessary to hunt throughout every nook and cranny of every zone to see what might be there at any given time.

The only game I can recall playing that actually did this was Asheron's Call. I think it was every month they would change the "migration" patterns of the mobs and old safe areas became dangerous and so forth. Their loot was also pretty much all random anyway. Only a very select items were actual named items. That said, the community in that game was pretty ass since it was mostly solo people exploring the expanse alone. It's why I always bounced back and forth between AC and EQ.

Asheron's Call was vastly superior to EQ in every facet except for "raid" content.

I don't want to bash AC since I never played it, but the reason I'm going to lean towards this being inaccurate is because I knew several people IRL who bought Asheron's Call after playing EQ and they all quit AC within 2 weeks and came back to EQ despite never raiding in EQ.

Once Teddie completes EveryQuest the game is over, FYI.

tf i put a picture of the Matrix Architect so people would get the joke

also, just found this out but did you know that the letters of NEO from the matrix are a clever anagram for a word to describe his impact on the story:

NEO is a prefix for NEW. as in NEW p99

Mr. Anderson was a bit more clever, with Anders from Andreas, meaning man(ly) or masculine. So while it seems like an ordinary average Joe surname, he's being referred to as the son of man.
