Sure would be a cool thing, to be able to see that ship sail in and out of butcher again, maybe even get a ride on it :(
The ships existed back in the golden days when Everquest was a ton of fun. There was no AA's or special augs, nothing fancy - didn't need that crap anyways. It was so much fun with out all the expansions and all the other garbage SOE forced into the game.
Those were the days when GFay ment something, traveling to Butcher for a ride to Freeport on a boat was a major deal.
Risk/challenge for reward; The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. That's what SOE lost, and we (EqEmu) don't have it either. The main reason why we don't have it, is because, instead of tweaking the zones and putting good challenge and gameplay in what we have, we're too busy trying to keep up with the Live Eq madness.
By adding higher level zones, increasing the character level, high exp rates, we convert the lower zones we have into something worthless, just like SOE did.
By enabling Loot/plat drops as common as we have them now - that all becomes no-challenge, and worthlless too.
Sometimes I wonder if what we have for players on our servers now, are a group of people that are just in the game for the cheat of it. Maybe all the real players came, saw how it was, and left a long time ago.
