Pneu, I will follow you until the end of time!
Your thoughts are almost exactly what I truely wished for, though in all honesty, I had no idea how to do so.
I always said to myself, and friends who would listen, EQ WAS great, when the best thing in the game wasnt the items in it, to me at least, it was adventuring. Well now, that element is lost, and its all about items, items which routenly(sp?) drop from mob after mob after mob, until they throw out another expansion.
In my mind, a named "special" item should be hard as hell to get, or have an individual story behind it, itself. Much like in D&D, where for most of your gaming life, your wearing regular, armor, give or take the +3 bonus and such.
Wow, all I can say is that what your trying to accomplish, has A LOT of potential. I could blable all day long about how much, but that would take up too much time needed to get a server like this running.
Keep us updated, and if you need help, ask =P
