This is something I've had on my mind for the past few years and I was just wondering if anyone else thought it might be a success in the EQEmu scene. The brief of the server would be;
Roleplay actively encouraged & rewarded
Quest-based level progression (no grinding)
Dynamic cities with groupable quest lines that alter the game world
Frequent in-character GM events in the style of a DM leading players through a particularly long quest line
Game mechanics would be similar to current PEQ revision but content, (spawns/items/quests) would be 100% custom. As I say the emphasis would be on exploration and quest completion, character skills would probably be maintained as part of quest rewards to compensate for the lack of grind. The game world would be limited to one continent to foster familiarity with the progression structure and then be opened up to other areas for the players to explore.
Anyway if anyone thinks this could find a niche or thinks it would fail horribly I'd appreciate if you'd let me know your thoughts.
