I LOVE the idea for Harvesting Nodes, play EQ2 as well and it can be kinda fun...especially mining a rare ore lol.
But you have to think...How with a Node system correspond with the current Loot-Scoot-Buy harvesting system?
Would you do a complete overhaul with the tradeskill systems or would you integrate harvesting into th game for certain materials and have others looted/bought?
That is the big question.
It would likely be for specific new things where the "easy" availability can be accounted for. And/Or nodes will be in dangerous places, thus keeping some of the difficulty.
We have had multiple ideas. It could have its "loot" set on spawn and each "harvest" gets one loot. It could have "x harvests" and generate it at harvest. It could "spawn" in random places like EQ2, or we could "replace" appropriate zone objects.
