Thought of a new one: I wish there was a Lost and Found crate (aka the newb box) where I could dump stuff like bronze and ringmail armor, FS and low level magic weapons, and unneeded droppable quest items. That way newbies/lowbies could make use of them instead of me selling it all for a pittance to a npc merchant just so they don't clog up my limited bank space.

Maybe even have one in every home town.

Lesser windows, more people may race or show up to contest, more time to play the rest of the game, more time for other things.

Instanced raid zones.
The current system doesn't work, the "raid scene" on both server has reached toxicity levels beyond description, excluding most of the player base and/or sane people.
Make the raid bosses/zones harder, and add expensive regeants that would be needed before entering in high end raiding zones, to burn some platinum and make the economy healthier on the long run.

Also :
- No more unbalanced "classic" items
- No more MQ of any sort
- Sleeper repops every 3-6 months

Bonus :
- 1min cooldown on complete heal, and better alternative healing options for CLR/SHM/DRU
- Charm being less OP and more of a situational CC tool
- Binding limited to specific locations only, but available for all classes (through consumables for melee classes)

"Toxicity" is an incredibly unhelpful term, people just use it as a lazy synonym for anything they don't like. It is not toxic that some content is dominated by certain guilds. Just join those guilds, most of them even Seal Team have no mandatory raid attendance requirements. Instancing of any kind is completely antithetical to the intended playstyle of p99. It's also very impractical. There are multiple raid targets in Kael, but there are also lots of non-raid reasons to go to kael. Are they supposed to spawn infinite instances of the zone when 7 or 3 day targets spawn? How would that even work? Instancing inherently splits the population into discreet units who almost never have to interact with one another because they can just get welfare dragons whenever is most convenient.

I do agree though that raid encounters should be tweaked\retuned to be harder and more unpredictable. A bunch of clerics staring at a wall to stay out of LOS is still super lame even if it's in an instanced zone.

Saying that being able to schedule raids so that people with lives outside of an emulated Everquest server can experience content is "welfare dragons" is pretty hilarious, and ironically the people who enjoy 2AM batphones for their 2000th kill of Vindi are probably on welfare IRL. Semi-casual guilds like Kittens have shown the ability to kill every mob in the game with the caveat that most members have real lives and won't drop everything to race for a mob against guilds that will bend or outright break rules, train, rulelawyer, etc to the point where the game becames lawyerquest and you have officers filing legit legal briefs for poor overworked volunteer GMs to arbitrate. I don't think that makes the neckbeards any better at EQ, it just makes them sad.

TLDR sorry you don't have a life outside of EQ.

I'd like to see just about every Kunark and Velious item that drops in a level 46+ zone turn No Drop. I might even push that to include non-planar classic. Mostly for a fresh server however.

I agree with you. The fact of the matter is those people aren’t even really playing the raids because they enjoy EQ…they’re doing it because at the end of the day what they really enjoy is finding ways to deny others, that’s where they get the true satisfaction from otherwise they wouldn’t be the way they are about the raid content. And the reason they get so much satisfaction out of it is because they have so little going on in their real lives that the times they get to deny someone else pixels in a virtual world makes them feel powerful and important and allows them to forget the reality of their existence for just a small period of time
