Butcherblock Hammer?

I was reading some old Lum the Mad blog posts/entries, and was reminded of this:

And the corresponding Allakhazam page:

Has one ever been given out on P99?

It looks like according to the late 99/early 00s time frame, it should exist without the NO DROP tag (see how the blog mentions how much would people be ebaying it for etc.).

Isn't that a GM event item? Most of those types of items don't exist on P1999 because they wouldn't be able to hand 'em out without complaints of favoritism, etc.

Not sure about most. Many of the classic item events were actually done, like https://wiki.project1999.com/Da_Oogly_Stick (my favorite).

I couldn't find it, but I would guess someone has a complete list of all the GM rewards from the classic timeline --- sometimes called artifacts.

But not handing them out at all could be seen as Not classic.... Don't see any reason why could'nt have GM events for them if it was done in classic

This would add flavor to the server and is indeed classic.

Sometimes it seems they cling too closely to what was classic and exclude the very classic rare events that included rewarding players with unique items or titles etc.

Stuff like this would also freshen up the staleness that has befallen the server.

I'm sure some of these uniques items (Butcherblock Hammer, The Qeynos shield...) are coming as the Halloween 2016 event rewards.

I'm not saying this wouldn't fun; it would be. I'm not disagreeing with you that it wouldn't be classic; it would be. GMs have done stuff like this in the past, and I'd assume that they will do stuff like this in the future.

If you find the server to be stale though, this isn't going to change it for you. P99 is a static EQ classic server. With the exception of a small number of significant updates p99 is finished with the classic timeline. The only thing that I can actually imagine significantly changing the p99 server community would be the green relaunch, which will happen someday. Arguing for a hammer to fight the staleness though? That's not gonna matter imo.

That's true. I would expect if they did this, they'd also do other things though not just add a hammer.

I think the "let it gooooooo" gif above is on point. Expecting drastic changes is just pissing in the wind.

We know the destination, it's been told a hundred times. I guess many are just hoping for the destination to be reached sooner than later. I think that's where frustration comes from.

Then again, anyone unhappy ought to just get off the train. The train is being driven at the speed the conductor wants, and the tracks are not going to change.
