Just start linking all your items like that anyway haha

Staff confirmed 100% selective with classic implementation. Easier for them, A-OK. Easier for you to play game, NOT-OK

Its a custom classic oriented emulated server, thats how it is.

There is no extra EC spam without item linking. Only psychos posted stats for their items. You would make a macro with item names typed out. You would then put bags into trade window for people to inspect.

People would walk to vendors and see their bags to get inspired by cool items, and then buy them.

Prices would be the same. Item linking 100% not needed for normal EC tunnel rat activity to be prosperous.

Lazy folks just say "TONS OF EXCITING ITEMS COME TO T1 TO SEE" and active and clever buyers would show up check out that shit and buy the stuff for good prices. The guys with elaborate detailed built into their auctions had way too much time on their hands and were selling for loser status reseller prices to make 100pp on the transaction.

So yeah if anything it rewards the fully active tunnel rat for his vigilance. I had a great time during the pre link era.

CSR nightmare. Not classic but a good adaptation for running the server with limited volunteer staff.

I think people arguing about this, pro or con, are idiots. Item links are completely irrelevant to the classic experience.

I don't care about item links. I do care about the hypocrisy I'm seeing in this thread. So all the times people made the 'shit's classic' argument, I was like, well yep, that's the deal. I knew about item links and always thought it was a hard client limitation. That's cool. However, if it's NOT really that, and there are other ways that wouldn't cause worse problems....it's gonna make me look at shitsclassic warriors a bit differently.

*Edit*
I mean 'worse problems' in a technical sense, as in break something. It being an annoyance to us or staff is not what I meant. Staff certainly has the right to do it anyway, but it seriously weakens the 'shit's classic' argument.

Trilogy client? Am I missing something...I thought we HAD to use titanium.

For a truer classic experience it would require the use of the trilogy client.

The titanium client is Not Classic.
