Had a couple of thought on a few unique zones,

first one is sort of a war game idea

there are several islands humans must take a boat to them and trolls must use dl portal, each island will contain a certain set of mobs
one island human mobs with an elite officer
one island with a weak dreadlord and trolls

the general idea is to invade the opponents island secure a foothold on it, once a foothold has been established, you begin to request for the dl to transport the start of your army,
the officer will have mobol allowing you to transport soldiers from their island, actually they wouldnt actually come from the island but be created using mobol.
the same with the dl's but since trolls fear water loading the mobs via a gate would be more rpish.

each mob will be transported on an individual basis, maybe one per 3 minutes so as not to abuse the mobol and limiting the number of mobs of course, the dl and officer can not transport while engaged.
adn you can not be transported while engaged between the islands.

Now these special troll and soldier mobs will very take limited orders.
no following, no bashing, rescuing etc. Probably would be best to only allow you to order them to walk a certain room such as
order trolloc north and I like the thought of them being able to roam so you must be active to suceed.
now you can set up your invading force using strategy.
once the island has been overran meaning the officer or dl has been killed the battle is won and over, i wouldnt want to be stuck on an island after my dl has been slain so I might suggest the dl and or officers last action before dying be to get you to safety, unless you guys can think of a better idea.

basically Im thinking of something that would be fun for us while there isnt any pk and wouldnt be hard to imp, all of the above could be accomplished using olc and the islands dont even need descritions for the time being.


I welcome any ideas, criticism, worshippers :p

I have another zone suggestion.

I remember a while back when someone (Galnor?) talked about making a maze zone that loaded some hard to get EQ, but had uber mobs and had a low % of dting when you entered the room. I thought this idea would be awesome. Can we possibly imp something like this? (similar to IOMM)

I dislike the thought of a % based DT for a smob. High mountain pass with an alternate way to access the "landing room" to retrieve gear, yes. Smob room, hell no.


Unless I'm smobbing Machin Shin, which probably shouldn't load eq anyways...

more smobs are not what we need at this time, and an island of super mobs loading insane equipments qouldnt work well here, we dont have chase coded atm for the mobs so in order to make a mob tough we have to up their dp and pb to a point you could only hit them at bashed and then we come to the problem of insane regen, another alternative is scripting emote damage on the mob but imho thats not alot of fun. So until we have mobs chasing and calling for one another I wouldnt want an iomm.

I just mentioned this because Galnor (or some other imm, cant remember) came up with the idea because a lot of people complained about nothing to do if nobody was on other side. Plus, you can't really say "we dont need that atm", or "that isnt important now." Go look at general, theres a topic on fades and a topic on aiel.

Oh and I might be mistaken, but I do believe we have chase now. I was on a newbie exping around gap and a kno'mon hunterkiller mob somehow entered the room I was in even if I moved 5-6 rooms (many times). May be a coincidence, but Im fairly sure it was a slow tracking mob....

Yeah, trolloc clan mobs (and a few other trolloc mobs) all seem to track now, and I think some animals do too.
