This is just a beta server for the real timeline accurate launch in the future :)

Supposedly, that dagger was another obtainable reward in the rogue epic quest storyline. If you give Stanos's head to Hanns Krieghor instead of the General, you get the Fanged Skull Stiletto. Don't know if it was implemented here. I couldn't talk my guild into killing him for me to find out.

I do wish there was some logic like 1 in 10k chance to get them off their respective mobs just to allow for the feels for some of us people that missed the timeline

I always thought making them drop for a single day every few months randomly with no announcement would be neat. But pixels bring out the worst in people. Once they find out Guises are dropping man would that camp be locked down for the next 24 hours so that everyone's 9th alt can get one.

They hadn't activated the mask quest so he had to petition to get it fixed. I'm almost positive that the FSS quest will need a similar patch because it's even less well known.

Creating emulations of dead elf simulators is not an exact science, admittedly

Nilbog is trying to do something that is very challenging with this server.

You think he should give up because the execution wasn't 100% perfect.

Is this how you live your day-to-day life?

Don't take my comments as discrediting the server staff.

The second half of your comment is a separate issue. You are bringing up a larger issue with ownership and description.

Yes, I personally try to execute my tasks to the highest level of my ability. I have no doubt the server staff is also executes their responsibility to the same level.

From what I understand from the description of the server... (quoted from the main page)

Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Kunark expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience.

The time line is not perfect. The game is not the original. Yet, people are seemingly always bothered by things not being in the game correctly. While this might not be the point from this thread; it is the over arching attitude from the majority of trolls and useless argumentative threads on these forums.

It's not so black and white. There are degrees of broken. Just because it's broken in some aspects doesn't mean it should be in all aspects.

Very true. I couldn't agree more.
