I'm not sure how unbalanced it would be depending on how difficult you make the components of the item and the casting location. What this is like in my mind is a player based quest. The player gets the stuff together and then must go to some godawful place to gather the magics required to create th...

I doubt an enchanter would ever cast this spell if the drawbacks were so severe. Waiting 20 minutes real time (which is I assume spent watching pages of asterisks get smaller) just to haste some item for 3 hours is a waste of time. I'd just have the Lich cast haste on them. ;) The idea that was prop...

Playing off of that thread in gameplay discussions I was thinking about a good way to get rid of plat on the mud. Here is what I was thinking: User Created Rooms: This would take the the form of allowing a level 50 person (or maybe 45+) to pay a certain amount of plat per room and to include ANSI an...

>Change that to 'This will break the dynamics of doing most any zone, and could not be balanced with mere tweaks, most zones would need heavy modification' Well at least they will be taken to zones more. ;) Or well I guess this is more of an Everquest type of thing anyway. >Wielding 2 two-handed sw...

I think the githzerai would be the best race to add. Allow them to be psi but with some of the skills changed around. Maybe make them unable to do the wormhole quest or something like that. Also you could allow them to be monks and thus bring back that old class. The reason monks were axed way back ...

Here is an idea that would be kind of interesting. Make rangers allowed to remort similar to how the lich does (ie lose some abilites but gain others.) What the ranger could remort into though would be a Deepwoods Sniper or a Wardancer. The Deepwoods Sniper ranger would be a master of Archery. Give ...

Yup Ragorn is 100% correct in his post. It is absolutely hell to kill stuff and mem at low levels. 30 seconds to get a magic missile that misses or does almost no damage is not something that draws newbies in. The early game with no connections is long, tedious, and boring. If I had never played the...

Here are some suggestions I have for improving rangers: 1. Make archery their niche. Get rid of the arrows accidentily flying out of the room and aggroing mobs nearby. Keep the arrows hitting PC/mobs in the room as a balancing factor. Allow the arrows to slowly wear down missile shield or create som...

I think the only real way to get you folks zoning more is to bust out the alts. More then once I have been in a zoning group on the good side when we need an illusionist or something. We usually didn't wait for one to log on but someone just busted out their alt. I think the evils need to put in the...

I don't think downgrading protective spells would be the answer. That would make mobs hit a ton and just lead to more needless tank deaths. You would have to alter mob damage across the board to get the balance right. The goal the imms should shoot for is to have a maxed out rogue/ranger hit as hard...

I think the best thing would be to have some sort of group exps bonus. This bonus would scale depending on how big your group is. This would encourage higher level expers to take a bunch of newbies to qualify for the bonus. The higher levelers get more exps and the new players can meet the establish...

whoops double post

Only problem I can see is that sometimes not all people in the group do want a fly spell , but prefer wings or something they can remove quick. Oh, and last time I checked, the duration of fly was almost two RL hours, so not really the spell you exhaust yourself casting. Well then they just wear th...

I was going to suggest group haste also. I was told though that it was really unbalancing but I can't figure out why. Can those in the know let me in on their reasoning?

I agree that the NFL is one of the tightest run ships when it comes to marketing and making money. The owners actually seem to work hard in putting on the best possible face for the sport. It also helps when NFL stars aren't accused of rape like Kobe or spoiled asses like Barry Bonds. Also it helps ...

I think the easiest solution would be the spell Atonement. Make it give you +100 align per casting and of course you would have to consent. Or you could make this spell a buff that increases how much align points you get back from killing evil stuff. So Holy Wording Split Shield orcs would take much...

I do think that enchanters would benefit from a few new spells to make their lives easier. One spell that would be very nice, would be a mass fly type spell. It doesn't seem unbalancing to have one spell that takes the place of a ton of individual spells. Also a targeted dispel magic would be sweet....

You are right that there are few alternatives. You could have a long discussion in which she opens up to you and lets you know every hope, dream, fear, wrong, that she could possibly think of. A whole night (or weekend) talking about every dark thing under every rock. But it probably won't happen. P...

Do you want to leave a mark with her? Do you want her to remember you always? Why is doing this so important to you? These aren't sarcastic questions and you need to answer them before you go for the one night stand.

Hi evils, its good to hear that you folks are enjoying a resurgence. I have been thinking of rolling a squid again since I had a blast playing one when it first went into the mud. What classes do you folks need the most now?

1. Some sort of way to make money without having to kill mobs. I think having something similar to Ultima Online would be cool. For instance have some ore load in the mountain areas and allow PCs to mine it and use skills to make it into stuff to sell. This process could be botted but just strictly ...

(whoops double post)

I think a good idea to implement is to create a portal somewhere in the world that leads to Jot. You need to do a quest to open this portal by getting some eq and giving it to a Frost Giant Shaman of some sort. He could be a world load or just inserted into Ice Crag or something. Or possibly a small...

Here is an opinion from a lowbie but I think it would be a good idea. Create a position of Quest Admin in the ranks of the gods. This persons job would be to balance the quests (so you don't get junk at the end) and make sure all of the current ones are working correctly. This Imm could improve some...

Hi all, well I thought I would post a few things to this board. I played Toril (I think that is what it was called) about 8 years ago as a Conjurer named Marik. I'm pretty sure noone remembers me since I pretty much did my own thing and didn't get invited to the big zoning groups unless Bupu (I thin...
