You cannot outlaw power leveling. Granted, Chardok is the extreme example of how low down bitches weasel their chars to 60, like I did when I skipped lvl 59.

But isn't this part of a much, much larger picture? The fact is "classic" eq needs some serious gm'ing to make things not lame or clusterfucked to death.

Just simply saying "no boxing!" is a well-done first step, to be sure. But there are like two dozen more steps.

My view is, p99 apparently is meant to be some "proof of concept" for game archiving. Notice to devs: point taken.

Given the content lock, unless the next step is to actual gm this thing, there is little point to play the server except for a nostalgia fix. But Chardok AE is just one thing on the list.

I'll admit I'm jaded, btw. Totally. And I had some fun times. But given the content lock, gm'ing this thing is the next logical step. I'm sticking to that position. That's the issue with p99.
