the wiki is NOT CLASSIC

[Wonkie]

bogus and misleading information is a large part of the magic of classic EverQuest. providing it in an accurate and easily available format kills the voodoo spirit

wipe it clean

[skarlorn]

Agree

Allakazm and eqtlaS only thanks

Well but both of those sites are now filled with unclassic information, so without the wiki we'd be even farther from how it was in classic.

But really it's that whole classic rules vs. classic environment/experience issue. Project 1999 provides a server with a classic ruleset. OT Hammers (acquired with Puppet Strings at least) and Midnight Mallets clearly weren't a part of the classic experience for most of us, but they were technically a part of the rules so we still have them here.

The fact that everyone now knows about those items is very unclassic, but that's an environment/experience issue. We can never go back to not knowing about that stuff: that ship sailed in '99. Since we can't mind wipe players IRL the only way to remove that stuff would be to literally remove it from the game, but then the server wouldn't have classic rules anymore.

TLDR; A server can either have classic rules or a classic environment, not both. P99 chooses to worry about the classic rules, not about unclassic wiki information, auction trackers, GINA voice triggers, etc. Plus, without the wiki we'd have no web resource at all, which would be even less classic.

updating the wiki is participation in the WoWification of the game i love and will NOT be tolerated

Lets face it. The hardest part about classic was sneakinh onto the computer to play for uninterrupted hours.

With that hurdle out of the way, the game just becomes really easy.

Lots of yalls names are not classic either I sense another purge before the holidays

56k data transfer rates. Equalizer.

The ZEM page of the wiki is accurate to classic -- None of that shit is right.

In case you didnt notice a lot of stuff on there is wildly innacurate. Youll find out if you play regularly

I remember looking up stuff on people's private blogs. That was kinda cool, and added more flavor to the whole experience.

People use to RP it a little too by talking about their adventure to the camp and through the zone in first person.

There use to be a working message board system in game too.
