So here are some amazing ideas for where to place new raid bosses:

1. City leaders or iconic city figures.
2. Bring back Mayong Mistmoore and make him hit like AoW and proc like VS
3. Add the guardians in Skyshrine
4. Why are there not more spooky undead dragons to raid in DN?
5. Odus needs a raid mob...period.
6. A kraken in any of the ocean zones
7. The maze in Kerra Isle needs a raid mob
8. Temple of Sol Ro needs an Avatar of Sol Ro
9. Make a raid version of King Xorbb
10. Make Bristlebane an actual fun raid to do
11. Lake Rathe needs a Lochnees monster to raid
12. Halas Arena - Fight a berserker that is a badass, maybe even a ring style event.
13. Deep in Akanon something went wrong..fight a crazy steam powered beasty

1. Yes. Make the dwarf king give the "good hits" to RoS faction again. That was classic A.F.
2. Yes, but put him in Lfay.... not in a mid level exp zone.
3. no opinion.
4. Lots of real estate down there. Good idea. Make Paladins Great Again(heh).
5. ... yael? or do you mean outside there?
6. Tim Deep has a dragon. OoT has Alliz, Iceclad has... a turtle... Could use a snow dragon.
7. Like a minotaur?
8. +1
9. At the altar, not wandering the zone. That would suck.
10. I may have lied recently. Not sure I've done this in ages. Does it suck?
11. Yea, in that underwater cave with the gobo's.
12. I like it.
13. Out in the underwater lake?

p.s. You have good ideas.

[Wed May 23 00:19:38 2001] Zaping shouts, 'it was lame because everyone killed the characters!'
[Wed May 23 00:20:17 2001] Stalpus shouts, 'Idiots Killed the Machines and NPCs'

This is exactly what I would expect to happen here, I guess classic was more similar than I thought

raiding fucking sucks
your suggestions are raids

Custom content is pretty hard to do. Anything for low to mid tier that produces any kind of value would just be constantly camped for months. Higher tier things like raids would have hundreds of fully geared players showing up for and lead to drama. This is one of the problems with having an open world like EQ. There are a ton of things that could be done by utilizing instancing but people start tugging at their neckbeards at the thought of not having to compete against 300 other nerds over a few pixels.

Something like LDoN would scratch a lot of itches people have. Variable difficulty, single group to small "raids", leader boards for bragging rights, ability to target purchase various items you want while still having RNG drops, can be done at lower levels and at cap. The LDoN dungeons were pretty uninspired but is sitting at a single camp for 6 hours really any less interactive than fighting your way through hallway-room-hallway-room? Perhaps even the old dungeons already in game could be utilized. Would anyone really hate the thought of trying to 3 group raid Lower Guk tuned for level 65+ while fighting for the top of a leader board?

So..before you all tell about the nerfs you could guise under the term custom content, that's not what i mean.

It occurred to me today that there have been hundreds of hours (maybe more) spent on creating policy and layering raids. I feel like this work gets wiped away by changes in the social dynamic or changes to nerf the play base.

Instead of wasting time with a temporary solution why not just create some more raid content? Some really easy content to install would be single mobs in already iconic zones.

Why do i say it would be easy? Because there is a metric booty load of data to show how a mob should be tuned so it creates a certain level of difficulty for current p99 raiding capabilities. Same goes with mob drops, and besides, everyone is so crazy over geared for the content we could literally skip to pop and get into ele planes without looting a single item after gridning AAs.

So here are some amazing ideas for where to place new raid bosses:

1. City leaders or iconic city figures.
2. Bring back Mayong Mistmoore and make him hit like AoW and proc like VS
3. Add the guardians in Skyshrine
4. Why are there not more spooky undead dragons to raid in DN?

10. Make Bristlebane an actual fun raid to do

12. Halas Arena - Fight a berserker that is a badass, maybe even a ring style event.
13. Deep in Akanon something went wrong..fight a crazy steam powered beasty

And if the EQ lore leaves you creatively dry... here's over 100 pages of inspiration from the EQ creators muse

Crazy I was just thinking about this after reading someones reddit post, talking about taking clarity from enchanters and giving it to wizards. There is a cultural watershed going on worldwide, it seems to have spilled over into p99.

Good guild names before overstimulation took hold.
