Blue isnt classic....

And Green wont be either unless the server is severely downgraded and everyone is throttled at dial up speeds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Man, I hate to break it to you, but actual museums aren't designed for MMOGs, or computer games at all for that matter. Trying to make arguments about real world museums, Romans, and steam engines is just silly: if anything your argument is analogous for why we shouldn't add DaoC zones to P99.

Look, classic EverQuest was a game that ran for about two years. That means that any sort of "museum" for it would have to let people play that game, as closely as possible to how it was played in 1999, for about two years (followed by a reset and possibly a migration to Blue, followed by another two years, followed by ...).

Now no one will ever be able to experience the classic environment, in terms of player knowledge. That ship has sailed, and there's no way to put OT Mallets and item recharging "back in the bottle". But Green will be 100% classic rules, classic timeline, classic mob placement, etc. That's as close to a "museum piece" of two years of a MMOG's life as you are can possibly get.

Meanwhile, Blue has nothing to do with any of that. Blue is a Frankenstein's monster created as a byproduct of making Green, and it only seems classic to us now because we don't have the real thing to compare it to. Once we do (ie. post-Green) Blue will seen for what it is: just another non-classic EverQuest server.

The fact that you started playing on a beta server, and now your character happens to live on Blue and you don't want to change servers, won't change the basic fact that Blue isn't and never will be classic. And adding/not adding custom content won't change that either.

Look I didn't come up with the museum metaphor man, don't shoot the messenger. Wanting Green to be the museum so Blue can be customized to your personal preferences is a scope that only exists in your own mind. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Green is good

Custom content idea: Non-soulbound ST keys

Oh wait... that is supposed to be classic.

Uth used to do custom events with custom items as prizes. Then the Devs took them all away because they were not classic.(i.e. Staff of Endless Adventure) Now we wanna try all over again with a new Fan Fav Sirken.

custom content idea - take a mostly empty zone without much appeal and rework it to add new quests, named and drops to make better use of existing zones

chardok is a good candidate maybe? idk

Change the ZEM bonuses so people get out of the fucking toilet zones that are Mistmoore, City of Mist, and Karnor's Castle.

I like all these custom content ideas and stand behind them!
