What would you change about classic mechanics?

Remove complete heal and completely re-tune the game without it.

As I've said before, severe penalties for death including options for perma death or at least letting people loot your loots on your corpse. You don't like people looting your shit? Get some friends to protect your rotting corpse or get back to it quickly mufuka.

Let's be honest: EQ has crap mechanics. Class balance is horrible and raiding isn't particular challenging. There are so many things that could be fixed that it would take me pages to write them all down. Some of the more egregious ones:

• Debuff/CC spells costing 1/5 the mana that they should
• Paladins and SKs being worthless raid tanks without discs (and having XP penalties on top of them)
• Itemization being so bad that AC caps became the primary means of class balance
• FD mechanics are completely moronic in pretty much every way. Fun for sure, in some ways, but just mind bogglingly silly when you think about them.
• Summoning mobs. Whoever thought up that needs to be slapped with a seabass

What made EQ awesome is and was a) the huge lore and size of the world and b) the deliberate crippling of solo classes (well, most of them).

Add shared bank, allow /bind outside of cities corpse runs would be less annoying...

Oh and Death Touch aka the single lamest mechanic ever.
Here, bring extra players because the boss will take one every 45seconds. Didn't show up past classic era, and for a good reason (sans that retarded snake in ssra).

Dt is a weird ability, but it does make for some interesting aggro control. It at least has some lore for gods

Really wouldn't defend it, since it's like the absolute cheapest cop out difficulty boost possible. Sky they at least started to get the idea by giving the bosses new AEs instead of dispel gflux to all of them, but they still handed even island7 trash the DT ability.

I would make CT machine gun DTs standard.
