Default EQ Classless

After much consideration, I have decided to convert the project that was EQ: Battle Royale into EQ: Classless.
Why? Because a full item loot, classless pvp server wasn't as popular and launched at an inopportune time, and the players who went to try the server were PVE players primarily. I believe the fast-paced, classless niche outweighs any benefits a PVP server would bring.

As such, I have turned the server into a PVE Classless server with RNG-based spell/gear drops.
The server is currently in Kunark and will stop at PoP.

Here are the revised rules:

- No boxing, strict 1 IP limit - the world is yours and yours alone to travel through.
- "Easier" Raid Zones -We've tweaked a lot of the raid bosses to be easier, but with competition via PvP in mind. Future content will include later expansion content tuned to this system. Raid content is tuned for 6-12 players, though raid content will be the least of your issues.
- Classless system - All players are able to use and scribe any spell scroll, dual wield any item, and track down their enemies. Double attack is available from level 1, and disciplines are available at 45+. Use any classes' spells in any capacity that you feel comfortable with. Create your favorite hybrid.
- All items are no longer nodrop - Hand-me-downs were one of the best things about EverQuest, and having all items trade-able expands on this feature.
- Do anyone's epic quest - Ever want to dual wield a Ranger/Warrior epic? Now you can!
- Increased Regeneration - Outside of combat, your HP/Mana regen is increased significantly. This speeds up the pace of gameplay.
- Increased EXP - With a super-fast 8 times experience rate, it's easy to catch up to your friends who have been playing for a while.
- Accurate EverQuest - With the support of the TAKProject database and client, the game looks, feels, and is authentically EverQuest. Working combat formulas shape an otherwise non-classic experience.
- A hub zone - The Ethernere. This zone is considered a Haven zone, to let you get your bearings before you go out into the world and start killing monsters. There is a translocator in the town that will teleport you to a few locations, however, if you ask her nicely. Your starting ring will take you back to the Ethernere as a click effect.
- RNG-based loot system - NPCs throughout the world will have a chance to drop exceedingly rare items during your travels, ranging from armor, to spell scrolls, to weapons, and more. If you're lucky, exceedingly rare treasures can drop depending on NPC level.

I almost like the sound of it except for the classless system. It's sort of like a more casual version of EQ but screwed up in a weird way.

I actually wish one of you coding geniuses would just make a casual version of classic EQ. Basically the same as P99 except instead of the raiding endgame make it a casual grouping endgame. Remove all the existing raid content and replace it with some grouping dungeons for the max level players. But no pain in the ass keying and make it easy to get to and from these places. Do whatever you can to encourage people to go there so you could have a real chance to find people to group with.

Or alternatively just have one really huge long, long, long zone that people would try to penetrate as far into as they can before getting killed. You can't be rezed in this zone and when you die you go back to the start. Rewards and difficulty gradually increase the further in you get up to a point but theoretically always do-able by a single group. Have some system in place to prevent trivializing it by taking more people.

I don't know, something like that. Something you could log in and do without needed to pre-schedule it and without needing 20 or 30 people.

I still love classic EQ but the endgame sucks so much I can't force myself to even play alts anymore for knowing what lies ahead.

By strict 1-box limit, you mean absolutely no way to petition to, idk, play with your partner from the same household?
