Ok, what the heck, I'll reply.

If they relaunched vanilla EQ as it was in 1999 except for bug fixes and with no damn raiding.  Instead of having raiding as an endgame instead just keep the normal grouping game going.

I'm already playing, but I often hear from my friends that they want to see better character graphics & armor graphics.  That imo is the weakest point of EQ1.  EQ1 doesn't have content issues, it's got 10 years worth of content.  EQ1 doesn't really have feature issues, most features you see in modern MMO's you can find in EQ1, plus more.  EQ1 definitely does not have lore issues.  They have improved on the npc models and zone/environmental graphics, it's time they spend the money and time to upgrade character graphics imo.

I'm with Neanderthal.  The only thing that would make me come back would be a classic server, starting with Vanilla EQ and working to Velious over a year or two.  Realistically, it will never happen.  I will, therefore, never be coming back.  *sad face*

 what i dont get is why they never made it avail for psp or psp go 

it would be a perfect game to convert for massive multiplayer online on the go

 i like the sound of that

the PSP GO only has 16gb of memory, thats not enought for EQ.

and then what about a keyboard for typing? How am I supposed to talk to other players?

A new free expansion based at low-levellers(less than 70)

thought they might have been more popular. That would have incented me perhaps- shove a whole new continent for level 1-60 or 70 and based on the appeal of the original with dungeons, and the standard fantasy mobs type of thing, and refill with new lore etc.

I voted other because it would take all the choices (all of the above) plus be free to play for me to come back and play.

I wouldn't, except for the occasional visit to wallow in nostalgia. The game mechanics are too restrictive, there are too few players on what ever server my account's been merged with (Maelin, I think), the dated graphics make it just that much harder to get back into it. Even if they made it free-to-play I can't see myself devoting much time to the game. What's really sad is there isn't another game that I don't feel the same way about. I'm beginning to think MMO's are doomed sink in their own suckiness.

It would take getting rid of Smedley and all of his money grubbing schemes.

I have all but last 4 expansions. I cant bring myself to play without all the expansions but the costs to get each one is beyond what I could justify. If they made an affordable way to get all the expansions in one bundle I would come back and give it a try.

With EQ2 whenever you buy the current expansion it comes with all the previous expansions also. I would think original EQ would have the same set up.

Yes, it is also the case with EQ1 that all previous expansions are included with the latest expansion.

I would come back if they update the graphics.........they are just too ancient.
And obviously they need to scrap the RMT and the Card game connected with the game loot.

I already did come back  and it didn't take anything on your list. It just took 6 years of me looking for eq in all the newer mmos.  Of course I didn't find it, and it's just as well. Back and having fun, so don't go changing to try and please me.

Soloable end-game perhaps.   Raiding sucks.

Remove quests,bosses and trigger them back in is called Dynamic events now?lol..i think not.

I already tried to come back about 8 months ago.They had a campaign where by i resubbed before the free 30 days were up i got all the expansions i think except what was the newest one at time.Well after about 2 weeks i decided i'd go for it and resub,well every single day i tired the accounts system would not let me.I figured maybe accounts were down whatever i kept trying,until about 5 days left.

I sent them emails no response.then of course on the last day to resub i finally get an email,and of course now i can re sub,but now it says i can no longer get the free expansions,,i was like wtf,what a scam,i gave up on their little scam and never tried to re sub since.

So i don't know if it was some glitch in their accounts system that figured because i was on a free 30 day trial i could not re sub,or they were just leading me on with a scam,telling me i will get the free expansions and other gifts,but never planned on following through,either way they messed up and never got my sub.

Classic server PLUS fix the most broken class in all MMO's the Everquest Warrior In fact FIX ALL THE CLASSES MORONS!

 

Warrior (Everquest)

I had a level Warrior in Everquest and you know what I remember most? Pressing ‘1′ to initiate auto attack then alternating the pressing ‘2′ to Taunt and ‘3′ to Kick. Exciiiiiiting. Who thought it would be fun to create a class that has access to absolutely zero abilities whilist everyone else runs around shooting lighting bolts or fly kicking mobs in the face. I had a freaking /sit macro - a /sit macro - on my hotkey panel just to use up space. /palmface
 

Druid (Everquest)
You know what absolutely drove me mad? Spending hours getting a full six man group together, holy trinity of classes included, to camp one of the spires surrounding the entrance to Splitpaw in South Karana only to find that a single Druid was already camping the whole damn place. Kiting everything that moves to earn himself a ton of exp and plat. Bastards
