Not seeing boobs or donuts as options...

change it so we can see how everyone else is voting

That's going to have to be a hard pass for me.

So...the levels are the problem? Not the fucking repeatable quests every Life? If the level cap change to 10 you will stop play water works and every other repeatable quest every Life?
I dont care if i tr to 10 or 20 or 30, i want content to stop tr
Can level go to 30 or 50 or 100?or 10? Cool as they can give me content,i want content,quests weapons and end game that this shit cant give as,new pack they sayd,ooo 6 new quests ok 2 hours of gameplay x5 till you get everything you need and then go to hell on the repeatable wheel
That game is dead,they will never had a really huge upgrade on quest numbers and for that reason will never have end game,the style of this game and the stupid developers does not allow this
So good luck on the unlimited trs on water works high roads wheloon and other boring quests what ever your cap level is 10 or 20
9 years from 2010 i play every week the same quests,incan run them with closed eyes,its so bored that even a 10 seconds delay from what ever reason inside a quest its pain,its like a job right now and not entertainment, normally games you want to keep more,here is like my job,i want to step out of each quest as fast as possible,you can't say this is entertainment
Even great ravenloft is now boring

It could be fun to optimize for level 10.

Most crit expansions would be unavailable, except Kensai and Swash.

Improved Crit only for pureish melee characters.

Bard 4 / Fighter 6 / Forgotten Axe would have some seriously obscene crit profile, compared to the rest. I like it!

THF folks would have SOS, so that could be respectable as well.

Warlocks would have tentacles.

Seriously, this is too easy.

- Cap 20
- Turn Epic and Legendary quests into Heroic, or alternatively make them level 20 only and debloat the mobs' HP (keep their damage)
- Turn Epic and Legendary loot into Heroic.
- Remove Epic Destinies, or nerf them to Heroic standards.
- Reaper can gtfo.
- Loot overhaul. Make weapon type important again and weapon enhancements rarer.
- Make plat, brokers and AH valuable again.
- The devils invasion never happened. Bring back the Marketplace Bazaar tent!
- Bring back XP penalty on death with the addition quests' XP does not ransack, but only when you have negative XP. This way you are able to get back the XP lost easy by repeating your favorite quests.
- Remove quest level lock. Let low levels join high levels and vice versa but give XP penalty. Purely for fun.
- Permanent buddy bonus, but a slightly nerfed version. For grouping enticement.
- Make creating a guild a Premium or payed feature. Make it expensive. To avoid guild fragmentation and bring back guild alliances.

Sorry but people get nostalgic for "the old days" without remembering how bored you were in the old days due to lack of content and things to do.

OP clearly can't be American or French. Must be some fucking humorless German.

Played other MMOs that tried the classic gimmick. They all end up failing.

I think it's partly imagining how awesome the game could have been if they'd spent the time actually adding content instead of dicking around with systems they're just going to abandon or rules they're just going to reverse, or new levels that just spread the playerbase ever thinner.

If DDO had kept the level spread, rules, etc. of the game when it capped at 20 and just added content, we'd have a ton of relevant content and a thriving game.

Oh well, at least some devs got some nice resume padding to help hide the stain of working for a company that ran 2 of the most valuable fantasy IPs into the ground

FWIW: EverQuest has got the right formula with time-locked progression servers.  Aside from one oddball ruleset, they've been a financial and community success.

ETA: Not an endorsement of a classic DDO server.  I think that's a stupid idea.  Also, don't need more reasons for people to leave my server for another like hardcore.  It's already painful enough to raid, RXP and get EPLs with the few people not playing hardcore.

Everquest is doing well enough with their progression servers. I played on one of the Timelocked Progression and my guild would have 3 60 man raids going most nights through Plane of Knowledge era.  I got burned out though and came back to DDO.
