Hey Nilbog,
Thank you first of all for the server. It's a dream come true... I have lamented for so many years about the lack of a solid classic server and then I found P1999.
I wanted to ask if we should be posting in the bugs section with any changes which are noticed but aren't listed in the change log? An example would be the damage shield duration changes which were recently enabled or the significant reduction in agro to the disease cloud spell or the noted concerns around the spell menu changes. I ask only because when I experience changes which are not listed, I assume that that it was probably intended and learn to deal with it. Are the change logs usually accurate? Perhaps people would take their energy from complaining (as some do, although this thread was started with good intentions and in a mature manner) and put that energy into bug reporting.

Yah, if you see changes that aren't included in a changelog(spells), or patch notes, mention it as it might be a bug.
The spells_us.txt file, relevant changes, and a request for players to test with feedback.. were
posted in January, by Uthgaard. So, you can consider that the changelog for the spells. Unfortunately, it appears most of the players hadn't even updated their spells since last summer, if at all. This makes it difficult for us, because we do not know what is really broken.. and didn't give us the feedback we needed. If we post something like New spell file, instructions and discussion.. and players want to know whats coming, and/or have a voice in what happens, they need to test it. This is precisely the reason there was a Test Server on eqlive.
So, as you might see from our perspective.. and the beta testers for the past 2 months, these changes aren't new, and might already be reported, awaiting additional details of what is wrong, or non classic about them.
