Is this like the EQ version of Fuck, Marry, Kill?

Firiona Vie, Tunare, Tserrina.

Live EQ at some time implemented that 6th person is free in regards of exp and people 2-5 give the group an exp bonus.
Would be nice to even the odds vs. soloing imo

AA's from Luclin and PoP era, such as Double Attack AA for Bards, Crit AA's for all melee, 100% Bind Wound AA's, etc.

Basically would allow characters that have already level capped to keep building in power beyond just getting better gear.

Or have P1999 make a Luclin or PoP era server using Titanium or whatever client Blue runs on.

They spent a ton of time and effort stripping aa's and everything related to them from the code of the server. I highly doubt they'll ever add them back in.

Agree with this, but probably 0% chance.

Just please open up more race/class combos that may or may not have ever existed. It will get a lot of people leveling up again. Some suggestions:

Barbarian Paladin.
Gnome sk/Paladin
Halfling Ranger/Paladin
Human shaman
Iksar magician
Erudite warrior
Erudite monk

Actually, while the staff has said very little about what custom content might actually mean, one of the very few things they have thrown out (as a possibility) was adding some AA abilities. However, it would only be a select few of them (not most), and they wouldn't be implemented as a reward for experience (ie. Luclin-style). Instead, you would get your AA by doing some sort of "epic quest" for it.

I thought there was a newer quote about this from either Rogean or Nilbog, but I couldn't find it, so here's an old one from 2013 from Nilbog:

But to be fair, only a couple years before that we had Rogean saying he didn't think P99 would ever get any AAs (in any form, although he did acknowledge the idea of other custom content) ... so hopefully someone else can find their more recent quote on the topic.

And whatever R/N have said, they've never really committed to anything ... and whatever custom content is coming is likely years away ... but the point is, some AA's do at least seem to be on the table (>0% chance).

If we are going to have AA's, they should be class-specific that would benefit that class the most, ideally. Some examples.

Warrior: Bind Wound 100% and Instant Kill enemies under 10% health
Monk: Critical Hits, Packrat
Bard: Harmonious Strikes (Double Attack) and Brusco's Boastful Bellow (18 second damage skill, like Bash with a longer cooldown)
Paladin: Triple Attack with two-handers, Slay Undead, Improved Lay on Hands (Complete Heal and cooldown timer reduced to 36 minutes)

Things like that.
