For real this time!

contains the charts for deity/race/pet etc differentiation
Please login and break (npcs heads!) stuff over your knee and enjoy yourselves.
a quick (unformatted) snippet from my own website, which you should visit... !
NO FILE DOWNLOAD REQUIRED FOR THIS SERVER EVEN THOUGH I MODIFIED SPELLS! THEY WORK FINE!
Two handed weapons are stronger and in line with dual weilding, giving people a real choice
Bows are viable now
Shields provide enough ac to make a difference
Spell focii have been modified to work at x2 to x20 their default status, allowing for a vast range of item qualities, and significant damage output from acquiring top end loot
Spell stats have been heavily modified
Eastern Commonlands has a little easter egg for veteran players, actually its quite obvious what "it is" you have to just visit the zone to see for yourself.
Spells like mudshield and other broken spells have been intentionally "broken" in the DB and have been proved through testing to not be exploitable anymore.
NPCs have been tuned to be killable by 1 group or less, this includes all bosses. This can be reversed by need, depending on server population,.. IE if things are too easy then I make things harder. "Classic" will never be made harder.
Tasks exist for all of the progression, simplifying the advancement of players
Progression is per character, so you will need to work on your kunark flag - there are plenty of people who can help you beat those pesky gods and dragons in classic - if you cant do it yourself
# of bots is variable depending on the tier of zone you are in
Everything is tradable up to and including the Velious loot; after that, everything is nodrop - as god level items cannot be given to mortals, it will burn them alive
All top end equipment has had graphics updates
There are SIX tiers of progression, each harder than the last, with commeasurate rewards, and a limited ability to trivialize older content through my dynamic limitation system.
There are REAL differences between the racial and deity selections that you make, so you pick a gnome, you wont have the same strength abilities as an ogre, this doesn't mean just the strength score, but actual % damage per hit differences that can be measured!
Understand that there are 16 races 16 classes and 17 deities, the possibilities are incredible. So incredible in fact that I have removed all class-race-deity restrictions, and allowed for the players to decide how to play their characters, and let them roleplay to their hearts content.
all items in the game have some PP value associated with them unless tehy are strictly a quest item
AA can be purchased up to tier 4, and starting at tier 4, AA can be acquired through experience points
there are hidden bonuses for those with alot of AA stored or spent, and things that players will be able to buy with their AA points at certain points in the progression story.
All fabled loot is in, either by spawning actual fabled mobs (some of the vanilla eq content), or through rare chance from teh regular npc; this has been balanced in the following way: fabled items are all part of the same loregroup, so you can only have ONE fabled item, but since they are so powerful and there are literally 1000s of them, the fabled item you keep will change as you progress through the levels and travel to newer and more exotic lands.
For classic through Velious, there are two hubs to choose from, the default Guild Hall, or the more "live-like" Eastern Commonlands.
Post-Game, Path to divinity, and post-divinity (will use better names once people get there i dont want to spoil anything), will each have their own hubs.
Many many more changes..... for some details on the tiers, racial and deity differences, see below for the detailed explanations.
