Akka if you need any help with EZ consider me an asset. I think my playing days might be numbered but I’d love to give back to the community as a content creator if needed.

Also, if anyone on the board is interested in developing a new MMORPG with me I’ve been working on one for some time and it’s a lot of fun. Even if it’s just for a small group I think it’s tons of fun. Hosting a server with a EQ emulator is fun and all but I think we should make an EZ inspired game which isn’t based on 20 year old code. Just sayin. DM me if you’re interested!

How did you guys not notice the quad loot for three days straight?

No exploited mago gear rolled back? Wha... what?

Roll the offenders back and lock them out during next Halloween. No sense rolling everyone back because of a handful of people. If you do roll everyone back, I suggest you re-run the event with the timer back on for Mago.

Let’s bring back that goblin Christmas event. Maybe with some new drops. The issues it had aren’t relevant anymore and I thought it was fun. Most of the people who complained don’t even play anymore anyway.

There’s nothing wrong with EZ, it’s just an old game with an aging population. I say we keep playing EZ and in our free time we make our own modern MMORPG... then profit $$$$$$.

Make Dim a GM!

I’d do it if I could keep my toons

The last go around I think ZP and DLs were dropping ... at an okay rate... if it wasn't increased I wouldn't be throwing a fit.

That said, I think it could afford to go up by 20-30% to improve the experience for lowbies.

Thanks Akka! Wow 20 years...

Poll seems broken.

After giving this additional consideration, I’m thinking more and more we’re due for a “bridge tier.” T10 was a gut check, and honestly not one I would want to repeat right now. I think T11 could afford to be a more fun spirited and less “grindy” experience more in line with T4, T6 or T8. I also imagine it’s less taxing on Akka and Rent to produce a “bridge tier.” A smaller zone with simple progression and some nice UA/UW augs / other drops would be fun. Personally, I would rather Akka and Rent spend more time coming up with cool new items than complex progression schemes and intricate quest lines.

Yes please!

The lore as it is doesn’t make sense on UW augs as well. I think it just should be removed. The slots we have are the slots we have.

With the amount of stuff which used to drop, including tons of charm prisms and getting more hive shards, combined with the fact that people were exploiting the sh*t out of them and there were more options, I wouldn’t say anything is easier about the minis today. More boring and more of a grind? Yes.

Assuming there are no technical hurdles... I’d really like to see T11 in an old world zone like innothule swamp or sleeper. Swamp would be good since it’s connected to Guk and we still need Guk for FG. Not a remake of an old world zone like old commons, but an actual old world zone. It’s better for performance, and we have enough custom zones from newer content. I like the T10 model of having one pub zone and then instances cost $$. I think pub should have a special boss ala ancient dragon which takes an army to kill. I’d suggest you go with more HP / nukes and less rampage this time around. The insta raid kills are never fun, just annoying, but losing single toons to dd is fun - and when MT goes down that’s it. New Halloween does this well apart from trees (it just makes them no fun to kill). Lewt must be Uber, but I’d like to see a trend towards more Uber items dropping for non-MT toons as well (blazing earring+ comes to mind) - it would be nice if we had a zone specifically designed to boost caster and support DPS. Maybe ultimate augment upgrade tokens or something to get our asses out of mindless noob mini dungeons? Please no weapon quest or 1,000 kill count quests - if we want a time sink I much prefer the T5 model of boss kills.

TLDR: old world zone and old world npcs (elite moss snakes and frogloks), t5 boss kill model, good DPS-related drops for non-MT toons as well maybe another source for ultimate augs (or maybe ultimate armor augs *wink wink*), no crazy rampage - stick to brutal dds. T10 instancing model.
