Most of you will have no clue what the hell I'm talking about, but I assure you Aradune does, just ask him....
My wife and I talked it over and we decided that we have to suggest that if nothing else from the EQ 1 original version makes it into Patheon, the one thing that no game can be successful without is Snakes that Kick!
Yes, I realize that it was an anomaly created by the technology of the day, but trust me, you have not lived until you've been kicked to death by a snake.
It defies every sense of reason and logic and yet, after years of seeing that, you really find that without it there is something very very wrong when you attack a snake and it doesn't kick.

It's like auto attack being bound to the "A" key..... Ya just had to be there. At the same time, those were the things that sucked you in just that much more,...... and you never noticed..addicting really...
Oh, believe me everyone noticed when five minutes into the their first day they hail an npc, and...
An npc tells you, "Greetings adventurer! I have a [quest] for you."
You say, "wha--"
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You stare at the screen in disbelief wondering what the hell just happened. Welcome to EverQuest, newbie!
It gives me warm fuzzies thinking about those days. :D
All I needed to read was your title ... "Snakes" ... and 10 to 1 I just *knew* what it was about.
lol ... Yeah, I "won" that bet. haha.
Something that would be awesome, if not mean, is have one or two zones which would be the "next step away from the newbie zone" where we could equip humanoid mobs with cheapo weapons. ala Velious.
Anistosoles said:Snakeskin Boots of Agility (+5 to Kick)
if nothing else then this would be a great easter egg as homage to EQ (even if there is no kick skill in game)
or it could just be
Snakeskin Boots
Dex +2
These Boots were made from the Skin of the deadly Moss Snake.
Ancient tales say that wearing these can help you learn the skill of Kicking!
