Prior to Aug 2000, people dropped stuff on the ground with any misclick. Not sure if you want to replicate as it could cause customer service issues for your limited volunteer staff.
In any case, the relevant patch notes from Aug 1 2000 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches-2000-2.html):
*Fast Drop*
Our most exciting change today is an option that allows players to
avoid accidentally dropping items on the ground. The new client allows
players to set "Item Dropping" preferences on the "General" options
tab. The three options that can be set are:
- FAST DROP: Items are dropped without confirmation.
- CONFIRM: A confirmation box will be displayed whenever you try to
drop an item.
- NEVER: You are not allowed to drop items on the ground.
Alternatively, you can also set these options using the /fastdrop
command. The arguments are:
- ON: Same as option "Fast Drop" on the General Tab.
- OFF: Same as option "Confirm" on the General Tab.
- NEVER: Same as above.
Please note that whatever your setting, coin will always be dropped
without confirmation. Additionally, the FastDrop option only applies to
items being dropped upon the ground. Handing items to NPCs will still
work regardless of your FastDrop setting.
