Hell, make the combat system more like ESO (just don't copy their class system, or their quest line, or their grouping options, or their dungeons, or...). Switch to a job class system, where you have to be a rogue and a druid before you can be a bard, or a fighter and a cleric before you can be a paladin.
Oh GOD NO! For the love of all that is right and good in this world, do NOT copy anything from THAT abortion of a game! UGHN!
I'm with you on some of the rest, though
I tried to play EQ when it went F2P, got roughly 6 minutes in before one of the strobing character names on an NPC made me want to hurl.
Tried EQ2, found out that "F2P" for Sorny really means "extended trial! Pay a subscription if you actually want to play!"
There's some benefit in the idea of founders accounts. I had one for the ill-fated Dark and Light... really miss that game in hindsight. If it had actually taken off and not sucked, I'd be playing the shit out of it to this day and be saying "DDO who?" I believed in it enough to pre-order.
But, really, they'd just be so much better suited to simply fixing the existing game. Its probably the last game we'll ever see quite like it, everything from here on out will be monthly fee or blatant cash grab
