What are YOU looking for?

I am a casual player. I dont have much time to play with work, school, and life responsibilities.

I prefer solo play without boxing. Bot/mercs would be ok (with limits). More emphasis on grouping and questing. I love challenging dungeon crawls with good groups.

With the lack of gaming time it would be nice if certain time sinks were removed. corpse runs, long runs (not the zone command or a one teleporter for everywhere, but a system of teleporters between cities, etc)

I don't want everything to be easy or given everything for free (either money or playtime). But I dont have time to box and gear up several characters.

As to content. I am fine with anything. I also like clickies, but who doesn't?

I have always thought it would be awesome to make the AA span all levels. Also a way to upgrade spells. Like each spell could have a few ranks. Either for more heal, damage, duration, etc. This would make it optional to level slowly or quickly.

I am just curious is it possible to have a server that would attract both casual and hardcore players?

As most of us who play this Emulator are progressing in age, kids are a problem. While I LOVE p99 its just nearly impossible to really play it with work, kids, yard work, social obligations etc etc. Maybe its just me but I would love something like this (been playing casual dreams, its pretty good for a casual player)
- Soloable with difficulty. Reds should do some damage to you, while you can plow through blues
- No box or limit boxing to 1, bots maybe later on
- raid mobs or zones require a group of strong players. Instanced
- If instanced raids then all good, but if not put a 1 hour spawn on these mobs
- Progression in the sense that it starts with classic (a la p99), adds kunark a few months in, then Vellious, etc.; after releases make requirements to travel to these expansions
- kill the world drops like Defiant gear... go get your stuff and or get a small economy going
- Slow XP. I like how Casual Dreams did the XP (all zones are HOT zones) but no excessive XP gains.
- Kill Corpse runs with fire
- add some nifty custom stuff (updated classes, zones, armor/weapon quests etc)
- Use ROF/UF clients
- Kill #peqzone and replace with porters at spires/rings
- No Here take this item while your a noob for some easy button time
- no level requirements on gear for some twinkage (but level require procs/clickies)
- Hub/main town zone with vendors, tradecrafts, places to set up shop etc would be nice. Most of these servers have lower populations so a small hub would make it seem more active.
- GM events!
