New poll! Further content - expansions

[sarcon]

voted group but what i really intended was like a mini group content ( 3-4 "players") since there is a great depth of raid zones and LDON is in the works for what i assume is a group?
so maybe a zone for solo with some tougher mobs that take a couple people (kinda like how kael for its tier is 1 group but the bosses took a raid)

also of course tradeskill stuff with no-trade mats are always great

I voted for : Group content (but I would prefer No Bots and 1 character per IP if possible to implement for a precised zone). This would make boxing/bots unavaiable and RL players would have to gather themselves to beat the challenge.

Actually Solo content is preferred.
I just think that as lots of peeps are boxing this would make "solo" content trivial except if you make instance "1 player + 1 bot" only.

See you soon, hope I will get an ISP next week.

I think that's technically not possible. You can set a limitation to one account/ip per server but that would be true for all zones then.

I get what you're saying tho.

...1 character per IP if possible to implement for a precised zone...

I have to disagree with this because myself, my wife, and my son all play on this server. We play EQ as a family, and a restriction like this would force me to look elsewhere to play. But I like it here

No worries, nothing like this is planned.

Went with group because I enjoy adventuring with others. My exact answer, given the choice in the poll, would have been "group with upper-tier encounter included" (like tier2 zone with a tier 3-3.5 boss for example). What I am thinking is a quest inside of the zone that would unlock an (instanced?) encounter. Could even make the encounter itself totally random so its generally a surprise to see who just popped in to say hi.

Just my 2cp.

Thanks for all the input, a lot of nice comment and good idea there!

To sum it up, once we are done with PoAir, we'll work on solo/group content and will consider every suggestion above.
Actually, the Adventure system will be tuned, so normal adventures can be done duo, and only hard adventures will require a real group. For the HC players, we'll introduce some custom and unbeatable adventure in time.

I decided to opt out of voting as any content is fine with me.
What I would like to see is more zones opened up. Meaning, that regardless of changes that will be made to them in the future, they are open to explore as they come on the database as it is.
One of the reasons I have kept coming back to EQ1 is the amount of areas available to a player. I am an explorer type player and being able to dink around in different zones is what keeps me entertained. On live they changed/updated zones (like splitpaw and Kithicor) and I never cared if it changed; it just gave me something new to explore.
I would love to be able to run around in PoN, PoD, Veksar, Charasis, etc for the fun of it and if you change them later all the better.
For instance, PoHate & PoFear are open and Lang and I had a blast one night just running around and killign things. Brought back good memories and some laughs as we tried to reach back into the dark corners of our memories to try and not get any more lost

Last night Bumsock and I killed Bristlebane in PoMischief. We saw him up on the stage, but still tried to get through the dang zone all the way to the throne room and had a blast. Also, BB himself is a pretty tough guy for not being custom. A million hp and hit like an Ssra mid-high boss! Highly recommended for a nostalgic trip!

Good idea..will definately do that in the next couple of days. I used to love that zone on live. It was always so quiet once you got past the little forest area. I think the teleports put off most people, so once inside I usually could just run around on my necro and play.
