EQ as it should have been?

4- removing HYBRID exp penalties, un-nerfing pet xp penalties, etc.

It depends what the thing is. For example something that doesn't match this era at all (like races or AAs no matter my stance on them) shouldn't be put in...not on here based on the server's goal. Ever. Things that simply fix major inconveniences though that Sony later fixed (Guild/Raid managers, zoning pets, etcetc) would be more appropriate.

However the opposing argument still stands. With something like Luclin models it's something you chose, has no impact on gameplay, and others can decline to use it. Things like this do not fit that category, however, and also should arguably be left out.

I once thought about making a server that took the best from Classic and Modern EQ, molded it together and cut the worst out. Even laid out plans for it one Friday night when I should have been out having a life but I don't because I'm me. Unfortunately I have neither the space to host it nor the patience to take on the project alone. Would be nice to see someone do something similar though. We have a server dedicated to Classic, we have a server dedicated to Modern and we have tons dedicated to random custom shit. I'm surprised no one has thought to do this yet.

Well, it's a TON of work, as the developers here can attest. Now, if at some point, the source code for P99 goes into the public domain, we might see this sort of thing. I don't however, think that is the current plan.

Well Such a thing would be possible without P99's source going public, especially considering a lot would be altered from the source anyway some being custom some being reverted back to base EQEmu source. Though it would save time if the source were released.

Not releasing the full source is understandable and, to be honest, expected. It's their custom server. Am confused as to why some of the functionalities they got working here that also work on Live to this day (tells going to queue when zoning, corpses of PC's staying in their illusions when a person dies, items/armor being unequipped as you loot them etc etc) that are not working on the base EQEmu source haven't been submitted yet but meh it'll end up there eventually anyway.

Since anything other than a completely hardline stance for #1 by the developers leads to legions of people all campaigning for that one special enhancement that would give them a hard-on... I say #1 all the way.

I guess the reason is similar to why you would stick an original problematic part on a classic car, because if you don't its no longer a classic car.

I can see your point Ikon. But people don't have the time to play now like they did when they were teenagers. Most people have real lives and families now. Or are in college.

I don't want it on easy mode but if you play a Iksar SK, or a Ranger you are in for a long hard road lol. Just make it a little more fair for all.

I too am very glad we have P1999. Brings back some great memories. Thanks to the Devs.

Yeah hey, agreed. I wouldn't be bothered if the did remove penalties, I'd prefer not but I wouldn't care. I'm a ranger btw, only level 6 at the moment but its already pretty slow [You must be logged in to view images.
