It's just an idea, but better not to do this, if SoE wants to keep the fun in they have to add one hell lot of content... was just thinking of a way to prevent of losing so much old content... mentor ftw? But it's pretty obvious that on level 80 the KoS and EoF zones will be a joke. I just got pwned o_O

This time around I think they should put every last proccing item on the final named in the new zones.

Really though, when I think about it, do we need more than three raid zones? There is always going to be just ONE item that every Archetype is going to want per slot, MAYBE two. Wouldn't you rather have SOE cut the crap and just make two-three very well itemized, but very difficult raid zones instead of ten raid zones that have only one or two good items in them? Have you seen some of this shit that drops in Emerald Halls? The Fern Woven Trousers aren't even as good as the Cruor Alluvium pants, shit they really aren't that much better than relic, they don't even have resists. Then there is the Frilly Rainbow Robe, again no resists or effects, even the Chel Drak robe is better and the Gown of Glory still owns it.

I'm not sure i agree with you Red Rock Candy. Part of the point of having lots of raid zones is the progression. Of course not every raid zone is going to have the most uber elite gear. The point is that you need to start in the easy zones..... gear up, then move on the the next level of difficulty. Than every guild and player needed to farm each zone at some point in time. The only problem with implimenting any system of this nature (in eq2) is gear plays a backseat roll in a raids performance. Imagine if a guild like Disso couldn't beat some instance till they farmed it for gear, then used the gear to beat it. That zone would be near impossible for the majority of guilds.

More contested mobs preferably not just x4, but some x2 and x3s with valid loot drops, not some shitty legendary chest crap. Thinking like the T4,T5 x2 mobs in EL,Lavastorm,Permafrost,Everfrost.

More reasons to visit old zones, and no, not just to wander thru grey mobs looking for stupid quest updates. Thinking some new mobs. Or small pocket zones with some T8 quest mob.

Agree with the raidwide shard/heart comment, I feel for the poor conj/necros. Plus the delay while we wait for these to be distributed is just stupid.

Raid mobs that fit the zone they are placed in.

Reduction of lag in raid zones.

Upgrades to some old but favorite HQ items. Ie. GEBs enhanced thru a quest to be "Enhanced GEBs". It could start by some goblin in a new T8 zone telling you a tale about how once there was....

More giant mobs, more tiny mobs! Enough with the toon sized mobs. I am sick to death of killing mobs of equal or slightly smaller/larger size. I want to fight some truely large mobs or swarms of tiny ones. Much like the giants in TS or the ones in Nek before they were nerfed ( i really miss those btw).

Speaking of mobs, lets see more variety within a zone please. Perhaps more like Feerrott.

Great idea!

I think they did something like this in Unrest with an upgrade to DWBs. It would be awsome to see some old favorites actually be usable again (FBSS, SSoY ect.)

Yeah, hope they make up an upgrade of J-boots with 100% runspeed... bye bye mounts!

My 45% SoW is just fine with me. Even got rid of my rug. =)

What I'd like to see... (And is total wish fulfillment on my part.)

Start to really define the lines between the classes. Some of them, the lines are so blurred, I often ask myself why bother having two classes to begin with.

Example: Furies and Wardens. When the game first came out and I had to choose between the two, it was said that the Wardens were the defense based. Our buffs should really reflect this. Give us PotN from EQ1. Give us a nice STR buff. Give us our Cures back before the nerfage. Give us utility, damn it.

Armor Dyes: I know, I know... this is really a difficult thing for them to put in because of the amount of textures and layers this game has. And for those of you who are crying out about pink ogres running around, can I smack you? Is it really all that different than seeing one run around in full yellow paladin epic or the pink/purple garb from KoS? We've spent SO long looking like Bozo the Clown rejects, WHY would we go out of our way to look even more so? Give us the option to match... PLEASE.

I'm not took keen on epic weapons. I hated doing mine from EQ1 and I'm dreading doing it in EQ2.

Different mount armor. I've said this before and I'll keep repeating it. I'm a Druid. I can't wear plate. Why would I ride a horse that does? Give us armor options, please. Furs, leather, tribal war paint for the horse, anything.

I LOVE the fact that I can enhance my SoW. Maybe make the final "point" into that branch that enables us to Group SoW...?

More ports. I hate walking.

Introduce some more gods, please. I hate that my necro is worshipping Cazic-Thule right now. Give me Bertoxxulous, The Tribunal... And damn it, make it so you can worship any god. If you're not going to make the Freeport/Qeynos faction matter, neither should worshiping "faction" related gods. Worshipping Rallos Zek doesn't make me evil. My actions do.

Do away with bullshit factions. Why should I give a shit why my Seamist Fairy faction is "allied"? What have they done for me, lately?

OPEN UP THE QEYNOS CASTLE! Fucking A! My dark elf can walk right into the Neriak stronghold. Why is Antonia being so friggin paranoid?

Removal of XP locking and I'll be content.

Neriak is pretty but the Neriak Stronghold consists of a throne, a spiral staircase, and a bed. If the veil is taken from Qeynos' Castle and all I see is a queen, a staircase, and a bed, I'll bend her forward and... no, it'll destroy any remaining air of power the city claims to have. It would be heartbreakingly lame.

Leave it hidden, I say. Don't give it a chance to be screwed up.
