Everquest, relive the story.
I don't know about you all but sometimes when I sit in Plane of Tactics pulling guys that hit for 475 I wonder to myself, 'what the happened to the good ole days?' So here's the new server idea:
The storyline is reset. The server starts off as being an old world only server. There are no new expansions, no Kunark, nothing past the original release- there is only the old Norrath. Firona Vie hasn't been kidnapped, the Icebreaker hasn't been created, and we haven't shot a cat to the moon. As people progress in levels they will defeat Nagafen, Vox, old Cazic, and learn about Bayle's corruption. When they defeat certain encounters, the storyline progresses. As an example once old Innoruuk, Cazic, Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox have been defeated, then Firona Vie becomes kidnapped and Kunark is available to explore.
Once Kunark is opened people can then advance to level 60, complete their epic quests, and find Firona Vie. After they defeat certain figures key to the kunark storyline (not necessarily every head boss of every zone) the story progresses and the gnomes create the Icebreaker and discover Velious.
Everquest has had an amazing storyline and at this point it's turning into the end of the world (literally). This would allow people to be able to experience the old zones and adventures without the latest expansions messing with the mix.
From the Verant point of view this would do a few things- entice older nostalgic players into becoming more active in Everquest and show how the game has been constantly added on from the existing product which will encourage them to purchase Everquest 2 when it is ready. I know it would do this for me at least.
If you would be interested in this sort of thing please email Verant at eqfeedback@soe.sony.com saying you would be interested in playing on a Everquest Classic Server.
Also when you send out this email please copy me at eq_classic_server@hotmail.com so I can keep record of all the positive responses.
