If EQ3 Hypothetically were in development, what would you suggest?

What would a classic EQ character look like with 2020+ computer graphics.

edit: @Izmael solid list.

You can't have it though, Pandora's Box is open, you already played and memorized the entire game. You have an entire encyclopedia of EQ information on the wiki.

The "classic" experience we all pine for is the lack of knowledge about the game. The original magic of everquest was exploration and learning.

You cannot have a classic experience when you know what mobs to kill at what level and what mobs drop what gear, how to best min/max your class etc.

a "classic" everquest experience will never occur again, ever.

What we have to do is make another game, one that we cannot predict, log, record, memorize etc.

Side note off topic, this is why I suggest doing p99 "mixed up" to get that feeling. Make all items drop off different mobs and change faction so the world becomes a mystery again.

As for suggestions to eq3 developers, don’t reinvent the wheel. Remake Everquest with better graphics and more fluid combat but keep the heart intact. Don’t change corpse runs or the tedium as the tedium is part of the appeal.

i always liked the idea of no interface until it had to be brought up/used
like in Sword Art Online

No Brad = No EQ

I like the combat system of mount and blade and would like to see that implemented into a game like EQ.

Items should have stats that help, but shouldn’t be game breakingly good. IE someone that has moderate gear should be able to somewhat compete with someone that has BIS gear.

Classes need to be ultra unique, and players should be almost forced to rely on each other. Even more so than classic EQ.

The reason the game codes were not given is because altho p99 is backed by Daybreak in usage , the original codes can NOT be given to a private emulated server being they are company owned. As for the EQ 3, yes its being worked in and in progress. That's factual from Darkpaw themselves. We all love EQ, that's a fact ,or we wouldn't be here on p99 to try to capture the old days of 1999. But when, not IF Everquest 3 comes out it will be the best day. Until then let's have fun in p99.
