Mm.

So glad you're enjoying Quarm! I, too, know that feeling, and I'm glad we were able to recreate it.

my orchiectomy has literally paid itself back in ball pun humor at this point. well worth the "I don't have the balls for this..." or "guess im winning NNN forever" jokes.

it's basically been a very expensive joke, which sums up my existence too

i fucking love that I can go anywhere in this city, look for someone wearing green eagles gear and say "go birds" and have it reciprocated. #gobirds

A rational thought? In this lobotomy?

In short, it takes an understanding of the game you're creating for, the audience of the game, and a level of understanding of original design intent to make those happen. Anything you add has to feel like it should belong there from the start, and improve + enhance. That's what Classic+ is to me.

Something more in depth such as regions of areas attached to existing ones, like the entire EQ Serpent's Spine expansion could be considered Classic+ if the artstyle matched with the rest of the game, too. EQ has always had an art identity problem since Luclin. It'd also need to match gameplay, too.

Removing bottlenecks from various quests because your audience is older now is considered Classic+. Even though it's QOL, it's still an addition on top of the game they know.

Design of raid zones in Classic EQ are basically akin to waiting for something to spawn and then getting to it first. Something mechanically simple like instances could be considered classic+.

This is one I like (and one I'm actually working on):

Barbarian Paladins of Halas.

Lore-wise, Most Barbarians felt abandoned by Mithaniel Marr, but what if their devotion to the spiritual arts granted them limited clerical might through their worship of The Tribunal? And thus Marr blesses that.

As someone who made something that gets compared to the Classic+ of EverQuest, I'd say that the best definition of Classic+ is 'more content in the same style developers in that era'.

For EQ, that could be a new zone with similar graphical fidelity, a new race/class, or a system befitting eras.

REAL. I had 17 minutes to catch the train. I'm not sure if that was planned but it was a super welcome surprise!

The SA forums proved that reserving the right to ban terrible accounts whenever you feel like it is essential to running an online community. Bigoted provacateur dipshits thrive on being shitty little rules lawyers and if you strictly adhere to the letter of the law they will always weaponize it.
