Issues that affect us all:
I wont talk about balance issues, its a swamp that I dont wanna sink into. All
thou I want to point out that barsoomians and mounts should get severly
downtuned anyways. :D
Partymembers are scarse and new leaders are "afraid" of trying anything
because people might just leave if the going isn't smooth. Well, the thing is,
you can only learn leading by doing, but maybe there could be some sort of
tutorial for setting up styles, battle listen/rounds and such that actually
help a lot in leading. And well, why not giving us an option that we could see
party status short on every battleround if we wanted to without making it
through triggers.
Player "fuckup" events that aren't up to date, Multicoloured demons and
Robinhood for exsample, could they be always in esiris if they aren't stealing
stuff from someone, so we had possibility to get there faster than search
through all the maincities for them.
Mobprots, yea RAPEprots, that are ridiculously long. As the playerbase
diminishes, we dont have that much potential 9man parties to kill the monsters
with prots, if the longest prots could be adjusted a bit for more reasonable
levels it might be a fairly good thing. Also, if the rapeprots are lowered on
certain monsters there will be that excess crap that none wants and it will
cause inflation. Well, who cares, atleast the people wanting to get to taste
the doing eq, can obtain items that they need to be effective in parties for
cheaper. Another idea is to make monster not drop flawed items but fight back
a lot harder if there are rapeprots on people in parties, this might make some
walkover monsters far more intresting.

Conclusion:
We need more content to newbies,midbies,those who think they are
highbies,highbies and casual players. But as most of the work is done by
volunteers, toss your "I want it all and I want it now." attitude to trashcan
and be patient, all the greatest things in life come with a long as cooldowns.
Fuck all of you whiners, including me, who whine about the voluntary effort of
wizards trying to take us forward and challenge the lesser graphical batmud's
out there.

I love this game and this community, there are a lot of people here that have
made those rainy days of my life much more bearable, or atleast offered
something else to think about.

amd you are wise and i agree with all you've said except downtuning barsos. i
would agree in lowering skill/spellmax soas to make it harder to do, but the
one time i made barso i had over 900m xp and required an extra few dozen megs
of eq to make it better than 2 arm races. i once bitched broetchen pwned too
much as reaverpriest, to which shinarae (iirc) replied: when you have over a
gig xp and few 100 meg eq's, you also will deserve to be as powerful!
