    Uh since some of us are on the older side I would not do this. It may induce heart attacks!

    Meh happened a few times last year, I would just assume there is a mismatch between login and billing server

    While it's fun to think about "jokes" that could be done ... the end result would just be a yet another thing people complain about or report as a bug, or create trouble tickets for.

    I mean we have people come here and complain about them giving us extra XP events.

    I don't mind what they do as long as it doesn't mess up the game play. Stick figures were a nightmare on raids year it happened and the change of font wasn't good for some people.

    Turning players into illusions is a nice idea as long as it doesn't mess with mounts and has a nice fighting perspective.

    Need to remember players are still going to want to play and not spend time trying to get the game back to some normality.

    I'm happy with just the cat room and some silly illusions in the Guild Lobby.

    NPCs would only speak their racial language and other languages they'd know (elves would know some dwarvish and gnomish, for example, since they're on the same continent). They would get continually agitated if you spoke to them in Common or another language until finally giving up and admitting they know common.

    I like this idea. Except they eventually attack.

    Change which race model is used by each race:

    Humans use Iksar models
    Iksar use Froglok models
    Frogloks use Human models
    Gnomes use Ogre
    Ogre use Wood Elf
    Wood Elf use Erudite
    Erudite use High Elf
    High Elf use Troll
    Troll use Dwarf
    Dwarf use Dark Elf
    Dark Elf use Vah Shir
    Vah Shir use Halfling
    Halfling use Half Elf
    Half Elf use Barbarian
    Barbarian use Drakkin
    Drakkin use Gnome

    Not an illusion, so it doesn't screw with faction making you KoS or what shows on /who, but just link the race to the different model files (the first three are just to preserve monk animations).

    I would make it so that no matter what zone you were coming from you would zone to burning woods, and then have to cross it before getting to your next zone.

    I would make Project M enabled again for 1 afternoon. In which everyone would spawn in the newbie classic areas and would have to hunt each other!.
    PS. Pray that you spawn as a wisp !
  17. Bigstomp Augur

    I'd make necro wake the dead mobs attack said necro.
    I'd also make anyone wearing an illusion of the mob we are fighting catch a death touch.

    And regular pets would do pet things, like:
    Paw at you and whine for food.
    .... on your backpack.
    Run away as the first loud noise happened.
    Eat another pets .... from your backpack.
    Sharpen their claws on your thigh causing extra damage.
  18. Burdi Augur

    I would make Norath invaded by aliens.
    Or would transform everyone in a ape, like in planet of the apes.

    And then all of the extra experience could vanish the next day. :)
