Suggestion Box

[Geaux]

For new players, I think everyone would agree that it is a real challenge to "catch up".

Would it be a good thing to create an diminishing EXP buff for new players that tapers off incrementally over time?

1-30 days 100%
31-60 days 50%
61-90 days 25%

You pick the %, so don't get caught up on that.

Think about this from the perspective of friends you would like to invite to play the game!

The timer would be based upon the start date of the account, and ONLY apply to new players in Project 1999.

The goal of the project is to re-create classic EverQuest (ie. EQ as it was circa 1999-2001). There was nothing like this in classic EverQuest, therefore it's a safe bet P99 will never have anything like it.

Suggestion: Patch the game all at once to be as close to classic EQ as possible, then stop patching the game with balance changes that alter people’s characters years later, and leave it as the museum piece it was always intended to be

That’s my suggestion

They are fixing the servers as they can, based on data and based on coding capability. It's been this way forever.

I just used my first "spell set" ever when they removed them from p99. I had quit EQ before using them on live and came back and never used them. Then I used them and was like "damn this rules" for about 1 week and then they took em away. Sucked.

Other one taht sucked is the on screen compass. Its just easier than always using the ability to sense heading but it went away for classic.

A lot of things.

Gotta make peace with them.

Yeah but their next change would require a complete re-gearing of my character. That’s a bit different than my UI needs some tweaks

I'm sure you'll get the right stuff. It's not like all of a sudden the charisma you have is making your character a bad character. You just have less intelligence or mana than you might have otherwise been loaded with.

Character still okay.

not classic (but then again this server is hardly classic but no need to make it MORE

non classic)

also unroot the dragons <3
zerging is cringe

Perhaps so...

It is EXTREMELY hard to find low level groups as the vast majority of the server population has raiding level characters. It seems that around level 20, the solo classes tend to go solo, leaving the group support folks to a more challenging path of finding a group or being PLed by a friend.

Perhaps there is no desire to increase the population? I am not familiar with the server capacity or vision...

One thing I have noticed is that there are very few server crashes as opposed "Classic" Everquest, very happy someone decided to make that less original :-)

Still groups out there at all levels but they mostly follow the ZEM (zone experience modifier) hot spots. Everything has been tabulated. Green server probably has more lower level people, Blue used to be the place for EC tunnel but even that is now gimped AF compared with before.

The door is open for new players but i imagine few want to play a 20 year old mmoRPG with the social rules we have but didn't experience it in era for the nostalgia run, so some things are not changed that would make good logical sense which would cause them frustration.

In the age of ease, convenience and treating the players like they are made of the most precious and delicate glass, something like original EQ would only appeal to a few because its bad for them.
