That comparison is nonsensical and misrepresentative of what is being said. First of all, it's not what I *think* is Classic. It's what factually WAS Classic.

There's much to debate about how a game could best recreate (and improve upon) "the classic EQ experience", but speaking in terms of a server that mainly just tries to replicate the game code, if the Short Sword of the Ykesha didn't drop in Lower Guk, that would factually be "not classic". The PnP is no different.

Like, I was more like "I don't understand your crazy ravings, they don't seem to make any sense and I cant possibly imagine how someone would think that the PnP is what makes or breaks an everquest classic server"
Again, if you don't understand something, then you should learn more, instead of having nothing but knee-jerk reactions and ignorantly deciding to label something as "crazy raving".

Allowing competition for content, as classic EQ actually existed during its first year, makes a massive difference in how the game plays. Having the classic PnP vs the p99 PnP also makes a significant difference in how the server plays.

Minor quests that virtually nobody cares about, or the exact capitalization of an NPC's name, are things that the p99 devs have fixed in the code in order to make the game more classic. If you are incapable of understanding why the PnP is a much bigger deal, then please, stop posting.
