Description:
Casual Dreams:Casual Dreams strives to preserve the original PoP era EQ feel of wonder and daring
Whenever possible, encounters are preserved or enhanced to be like the original live experience
Mobs and encounters have been toned down (mob hp, stats, spell effects reduced)
Player stats, spells and gear are live-like
Instead of needing 6 players to kill one mob, you'll be killing 6+ mobs at a time solo
New content will be like permanent GM events
New content will not replace or subtract from existing content
The RoF2 client provides the best gaming experience on Casual Dreams
Cleric, Shaman, and Wizard have solo'd PoTime that I know of
Casters tank well on Casual Dreams, there is no melee push (far fewer interrupts)
Spells such as snare and slow work well even on most bosses (a couple bosses summon but everything is caster tankable)
Endgame pets have been increased in level
Raid loot is NOT nodrop, pets can be given incredible gear and weapons to boost their power significantly
I did an extensive rebalancing of PoP encounters as a Monk because there were encounters that melee were having a very hard time with that my Wizard destroyed with ease
Caster specifics can be found on our website and class forums
Drops are normal, you will find everything you know and love right where it has always been
Defiant gear was overpowered and has been removed
LDoN gear from the merchants in the bazaar serves the same purpose as Defiant and is better balanced for PoP era
LDoN merchants will give you LDoN points for any LDoN augments you find and return to them
Not all world drop augs are LDoN augs, LDoN merchants don't take everything
Most people do not bother with the LDoN gear
If you level in dungeons you will find plenty of decent gear to keep you going
Everything is balanced for solo play
Boxing is not required at all
Most folks who use MQ2 just use it to control a 2nd character
Nobody cares if you 2-box
It is a casual server and if you want to 2-box solo content that is your business
Do not use 3rd party software to interfere with or gain an advantage over other players
MQ2 is not necessary and I do not like it, I think it ruins immersion
I am not your daddy. As long as you do not bother other players or flaunt it (ruining their immersion), I don't really care what you do in your free time
When I balance an encounter I often put in anti-warping code and a zone-wide shout so others in zone realize what just happened
If you are the only player in a zone, nobody cares what you do
Examples here
Solo everything! Solo all the way to Quarm!
Solo, but not easy. Improve your gear, resists, and skills to survive.
Paced leveling. Enjoy the classic content! No instant winning.
Melee, Caster, and pet friendly!
2-Box limit. Logging in a third client disconnects all three.
Explore and level anywhere! Zone experience modifiers are all the same.
No death penalty or corpse runs.
Classic items, nothing strange (some items modified to enable solo play).
Convenience items on vendors in PoK, Bazaar, and starting cities.
Lore and nodrop tags removed.
Item prices have been balanced globally based on stats and weapon ratio.
Equippable items are attuneable to combat mudflation.
All procs and clickies work from level 1.
Buffs and Ports (to cities) can be found in Bazaar, Guild Lobby, and Guild Hall.
Many headaches, like PoP flagging and mob immunities, have been removed.
Epic 1.0s are actually epic (extra aug slots)!
Augments are a world drop.
Some unwanted augments can be sold to LDoN merchants in the Bazaar to buy useful gear.
Tradeskills max automatically when zoning into Tutorial or PoK.
Spells and Tomes can be bought in PoK.

RoF2 will provide the best gaming experience.
