New EQ server.

[Hoofhurr]

Check out the new alternative ruleset server - "The Fallen":

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Any character that is slain for any reason what so ever will be reset and placed back into newbie status. Characters will not be restored or resurrected for ANY reason what so ever. Once you're dead, you're dead.

- Each account will only be allowed one character on this server. Any PvP death results in the killing player obtaining a number of points based on the levels of the characters involved. Players can only gain points from characters that are within 5 levels of them.

- You may loot all tradeable items from the corpse of the character you just killed, all other equipment is destroyed with the character.

- The server will make use of the Firiona Vie no drop rules (few things will be No-Drop)

- The server will have the old world (Antonica, Faydwer, Odus) plus the Legacy of Ykesha expansion , and will only allow characters to reach level 50 with no AA.

- The server will have a doubled experience modifier to facilitate faster paced gameplay.

- Players will not be able to turn on /anonymous or /roleplay to hide their current location.

IMHO this is one of the coolest ideas SOE has come up with in a while for many reasons. It takes alternative rulesets to an extreme. It creates a transient server that is reset periodically, sort of like "monthly MMOGs" such as: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pimpwar.com">http://www.pimpwar.com</a><!-- m -->. The contest to get your name on an item is a great idea as well.

Any guesses on what classes will dominate given those rules?
