EQ feeling too easy for an elite gamer like yourself? Whenever the game seems like you're breezing through, hit yourself as hard as humanly possible in the crotch with a ball peen hammer so you have to struggle through enormous amounts of pain in order to do the tasks that the game requires. Your irreparably bruised, necrotizing genitalia are a small price to pay for those sweet, sweet bragging rights! >[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What bragging rights are those?

What you're doing now somebody did 22 years ago and did it better.

1. Lose 20 Equifax credit score on death. No rezzes.
2. Cancel any other programs or internet devices while playing, you cannot check wikis,atlas,etc.
3. All gear is replaced with Cloth, leather and banded armor. Bronze is endgame.
4. Mana only regenerates briefly after manually drinking water or other consumable drink.
5. Same as above but with food and health.
6. In the event of public griefing of any manner, Rogean instantly Doxxes you.
7. Multiboxing results in bans, and a force-fed push of a paid Nicocado onlyfans subscription.
8. Siren comes back to offer elite hacked gear, like a smoldering brand.
9. Orcs audio is replaced by orgasm noises.
10. Rap Battles for FTE.

HARDCORE.

Allow ninja looting, training and kill stealing.

The reward for playing EQ isn't good enough to warrant violent self harm.

It wasn't good enough 22 years ago and it's certainly not good enough now.

[Elfminster]

My experience of P99 so far...

Random army of moneygrabbing Druids/Wizards say out of character, "Dial A Port porting for plat, 1pp per level"

Pikertrading auctions, "WTS absolutely everything, WTB absolutely everything"

EQtrader shouts, "DON'T TRAIN SLATE TO NORTH RO ZONE"

Infallible Wiki loot values

No /ooc Ding

No /duel

Error 1017

Soandso tells you, "Stop stealing my giants"

Soandso tells you, "You're too high level for this area please leave"

"Your client might have crashed"

No high value long lasting reward for working hard and being stressed out

• Remove floor transfers.
  It's a great example of risk versus reward that helps the economy. Players can either find the more obscure locs to ground transfer or take their chances in highly trafficked areas. Either way, there's always the chance of items poofing or being picked up by someone else.
  
• Remove racial perks.
  Add more, but include NPCs.
  
• Remove lowbie buffing/ports.
  Add a negative side effect for level disparity. The more disparity, the greater the effect/more often it takes hold. Ex.: Clarity on a newbie causing mild intoxicated vision and sow or haste having a chance to cause spin the bottle once per tick.
  
  The higher in level a zone's NPCs are, the greater likelihood a lower level player gets left behind when porting over, planar zones included. The wizard portal in Nro should be less reliable as well, given that it's mostly buried in sand.
  
• Remove pre-nerf loot.
  Boost post-nerf loot instead, so players might just want one of each. Ex.: Change the effect of Circlet of Shadows to IVU or Skin of the Shadow instead of Gather Shadows.
  
• Remove Bard swarming.
  Limit to quading.
  
• Remove Clarity.
  Grant wizards the clarity-line. Remove clarity from enchanters and instead grant them versions of wandering mind/theft of thought at lower/higher levels, possibly including mana drain over time.
  
• Remove instant invis items.
  Add more variety to the different forms of invis, with cloudy potions and low level versions requiring that the player avoid passing over/through otherwise KoS mobs, or risk aggro and the spell fading. This would add more pros to being a small race or at least getting shrunk, and another con to being a large race. A gnome could pass between the legs of Kael giants with regular invis, while an ogre with superior camouflage hugged the walls.
  
• Make charm more unreliable.
  When charming, the charmer bind sights on the charmed mob for full duration which also grants them the ability to use attacks/spells but at the cost of accessing their own. An enchanter could choose to focus on DPS or CC, but not both at once unless they charmed an enchanter NPC.
  
• Increase mob health.
  If old world mobs had similar HP as Velious mobs, it would move PUGs around, but then loot tables would need adjustments. Dragons having a single scale to loot, or none at all, makes little sense unless the idea is that all of the scales were somehow ruined/destroyed in battle.
  
• Make mobs smart instead of dumb.
  Bard NPCs that cast songs including ones unavailable to player characters; rogue NPCs that sneak/hide, poison, and pickpocket; monk NPCs that mend; warrior NPCs that defensive disc and berserker; shadow knight NPCs that shadow step at low health; etc. All melee NPCs should be able to disarm players.
  
• Hardcore mode only.
  No more corpse restorations. Hardcore mode opt-in, PK tagged, with titles, nodrop rewards, and normal mode granted at level 60.
