The less the better. I found the copied mines spooky
to say the least. Taking anything away from the mud's
already little PvP is a bad idea in my opinion. If
anything, just copy some newbie areas for them to farm,
but nothing for midbies and above.

I think this is just a Kludge to fix badly designed
areas with their once-per-boot (and exactly at boot-time)
features. Rather fix those one by one than change the
nature of the game towards a disconnected and soulless
mmorpg...

I sort of agree. While I think that PvP is usually quite a bit overrated, many
of the quest or mini-quest problems could be fixed with just a little bit of
code, or removing a few quest flags that really aren\'t that important, or
letting the pieces repop when there is no real reason for them not to.

The most obvious good use of the cloned area code would be for the Ackbar
quest. It would remove the once-a-day restriction and the one-at-a-time
restriction, which are annoying and purposeless, other than enforcing it as a
solo quest.

The cloned area code seems perfect to create even more these sorts of areas (or
convert existing ones) without too much trouble. Many of us just dont have the
free-time to be on consistantly enough for an eq-ss, or to party regularly
enough to even be in a non-soloer reinc. I\'m not looking for pity, but I am
looking for fun and character-improving things to do other than tiny-exp and
Gazgo.

More solo quests! More solo eq!!! More reward for learning areas on your own
and figuring out quests yourself, other than 1/10th the exp rate of your
friends and a set full of crappy, un-named eq!

Clone those solo $-areas, so i dont have to see any of MY cash monsters dead.
Or just clone all areas, then i don't have to see any players than those
passing by with speed-runningtrigs or channels of my choise.
