EverQuest Single Player

[Spike]

I have had this idea of playing EQ alone for several years now, before I knew about EQEmu. But recently I wanted to start putting this plan into action.

You can play with bots if you want, this does make the game a lot easier. But if you want to solo a character from start to finish, here are some server rules I have made up. So far I've gone from level 1 - 40 without any issues and it has been a ton of fun.

If you have any ideas to add to this list, please let me know!

## Server Rule Changes

- Faster HP/MP/Endurance regen in and out of combat.
- Reduce NPC hit rate to something more fair.
- Slower food consumption.
- Remove corpse retrieval (very difficult when playing alone).
- Remove XP loss (you may die often and not be able to get out alive).
- Lower chance of NPC's running away when getting lower in HP .
- Allow binding anywhere (you may die often).
- Remove re-mem spells on respawn.
- Remove NPC enraging.
- Let monks have AC bonus with higher weight.
- Heal on level up (this is what most action RPGs do).
- Lower kick/bash stun level from 55 to 10.
